John-Paul Miller Marries Suzie Skinner Amid Legal and Death Investigations

John-Paul Miller, former pastor of Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, married Suzie Skinner on June 1, 2025, in a private beach ceremony.

The couple's relationship followed the deaths of their spouses: Miller's wife Mica died in April 2024, and Suzie's husband Chris died in September 2021. Both deaths have faced renewed scrutiny.

Chris Skinner, a paralyzed Army veteran and motivational speaker, was found unresponsive in a Myrtle Beach swimming pool, with his death ruled accidental by drowning. Authorities have reopened investigations based on new evidence, although no charges have been filed.

John-Paul Miller's wife Mica was found deceased at Lumber River State Park in North Carolina from a single gunshot wound in April 2024. The death was ruled a suicide after she called 911 to report her intent to die by suicide. Witnesses heard a gunshot near the scene.

Since Mica's death, Miller has faced federal charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators related to harassment before her death. Allegations include posting an intimate image online without consent, placing tracking devices on her vehicle, and excessive contact.

John-Paul Miller pleaded not guilty to the charges in January 2026, denying any abuse and attributing Mica's struggles to mental health issues.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Miller's alleged harassment included damaging Mica's vehicle and interfering with her finances. The charges concern behavior before her death and do not implicate him in the death itself.

Suzie Skinner and John-Paul Miller met through their church community. Suzie, a former physical therapist, and Chris Skinner had two children. Chris was paralyzed after a car accident involving a drunk driver and later became a motivational speaker.

Reports allege Suzie and Miller began a relationship while married to their respective spouses, but the timeline remains disputed. Chris Skinner reportedly confronted Miller about the alleged affair shortly before his death.

After Mica's death, Miller started a new church and continues to preach. Allegations of abuse from Mica's family and friends were highlighted in a Netflix documentary, but Miller denies these claims.
