John-Paul “JP” Miller’s marital history has drawn renewed attention following the release of Netflix’s true-crime documentary Death of the Pastor’s Wife. The series revisits the death of Mica Miller, his estranged second wife, and the events surrounding their troubled marriage.
Miller has since remarried. His current wife is Suzie Skinner, whom he married in June 2025. His relationship history, however, extends beyond these two marriages and includes his first wife, Alison “Ali” Pastor, with whom he shares five children.
Who Is Suzie Skinner?
Suzie Skinner is John-Paul Miller’s current wife. The couple married in June 2025, slightly more than a year after Mica Miller’s death.
Skinner has remained largely outside the level of public attention surrounding Miller and Mica’s relationship. She has nevertheless become part of the story because of her marriage to Miller and her involvement in his religious work.
The couple has reportedly been associated with a small evangelical congregation operating around Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Their Ministry
Miller previously served as pastor of Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach. The church became closely associated with his public profile and later with the controversy surrounding his marriage to Mica.
Following the closure and sale of the original church property, Miller’s religious activities shifted to a much smaller congregation. Reports have described gatherings involving roughly 15 to 20 people.
Skinner has reportedly helped Miller with the ministry as they continue their religious work in the Myrtle Beach area.
Mica Miller
Mica Miller was John-Paul Miller’s second wife. She married the pastor in 2017 after previously working as his assistant at Solid Rock Church.
Their relationship eventually became deeply troubled. Mica filed for divorce shortly before her death, bringing years of alleged marital conflict into the public spotlight.
The circumstances surrounding her relationship with Miller have since become the subject of extensive investigation, media coverage and the Netflix documentary.
Her Death
Mica Miller died on April 27, 2024, at a North Carolina state park. She was 30 years old.
Authorities determined that she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her death nevertheless generated intense public scrutiny because of the circumstances surrounding her separation from Miller.
Mica had served Miller with divorce papers only two days before her death.
Her family and supporters subsequently questioned aspects of the relationship and raised allegations concerning alleged controlling behavior and harassment. Those allegations became central to subsequent investigations.
Federal Charges
The legal case surrounding Miller extends beyond the original death investigation.
A federal grand jury indicted John-Paul Miller in December 2025 on cyberstalking-related charges. Prosecutors allege that he engaged in a campaign of online harassment and surveillance involving Mica.
It is important to distinguish allegations from established facts. The indictment represents the government’s accusations, and Miller is entitled to the presumption of innocence unless proven guilty in court.
His federal case is scheduled for the October 2026 court term.
First Wife Alison
Before Mica, Miller was married to Alison “Ali” Pastor.
The couple shares five children. After Mica’s death, Alison publicly discussed her own experiences during her marriage to Miller and expressed support for Mica’s family.
Her comments attracted attention because she said she recognized patterns of manipulation and control that she believed were similar to experiences she had encountered during her own relationship with Miller.
Those statements became another part of the broader discussion surrounding Miller’s relationships and the allegations made against him.
A Complicated Family History
Miller’s marriages have therefore become intertwined with different periods of his personal and professional life.
His first marriage to Alison produced five children. His second marriage to Mica ended amid a bitter separation and divorce proceedings shortly before her death. His third marriage, to Suzie Skinner, began in June 2025.
The rapid transition from his relationship with Mica to his marriage to Skinner has also attracted public attention, particularly because the circumstances surrounding Mica’s death remain a major subject of discussion.
Netflix Documentary
The story received another major wave of attention with Netflix’s Death of the Pastor’s Wife, which premiered on August 26, 2026.
The documentary examines Mica’s life, her marriage to Miller, the events leading to her death and the questions that emerged afterward. Its release has introduced the case to a much wider audience beyond the Carolinas.
For viewers encountering the story for the first time, the distinction between confirmed findings, allegations and unresolved legal claims is particularly important.
Where Things Stand
As of August 2026, John-Paul Miller is married to Suzie Skinner. The couple continues to be associated with a small evangelical ministry in the Myrtle Beach area.
At the same time, Miller faces a federal criminal case connected to allegations involving Mica Miller. His trial is expected during the October 2026 court term.
Mica’s death remains the defining event surrounding Miller’s public profile, and the Netflix documentary has renewed interest in the people and events connected to the case.
For Suzie Skinner, the marriage has placed her in a highly scrutinized chapter of Miller’s life. For Mica’s family and supporters, the continuing legal proceedings remain a central focus.
