Meet Amy Pinto-Walsh, the woman who was shacking up with the famous painter in the months before he died. Thomas Kinkade’s girlfriend became his live-in mistress after his wife moved out of their home in California. See the beautiful pictures of Amy and learn all about her biography below.
His fans may continue to adore him despite this bit of juicy gossip, but some people will have limits. Thomas Kinkade’s wife is named Nanette Kinkade. She had been estranged from her husband for two years although the couple never divorced. They had four lovely, vibrant daughters together who are now fully grown but the breakup must hurt them all.
Meanwhile about a year and a half ago, Miss Amy Pinto-Walsh moved into his huge estate in Los Gatos, California, and assumed a position next to him in bed as his mistress. Undoubtedly for the family this hanky panky arrangement added insult to injury. Nanette Kinkade is now feuding in court with Amy Pinto-Walsh, because you see, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
She filed for a restraining order against Amy Pinto in order to protect her husband’s legacy and value of his trademark name. She wants to stop Amy from “defaming, criticizing, disparaging or discrediting Kinkade, Nanette Kinkade, or any company owned by [him].”
We are not aware that Amy has said any nasty things, but the court petition alleges that Miss Pinto-Walsh announced to a friend that she plans to tell her story in public with juicy gossip about Thomas including photographs. One cannot imagine a Thomas Kinkade sex tape with his girlfriend, but you have to wonder what all the fuss is about.
My guess is that Nanette has deep wounds and who can blame her for getting back at Amy. She was, after all, sleeping in mommy’s bed for almost two years. You can read more about this scandalous story here and here.
Biography: Amy Pinto-Walsh is 48 years old and originally born in India. She has traveled all over the world during her interesting life. Amy was raised by her mom and dad in Kuwait, and was valedictorian in her high school class.
She immigrated to the United States where she majored in engineering at the University of South Carolina. She graduated from there in 1986 and eventually landed jobs in software engineering with various firms including Telcom giant AT&T. She is currently a senior manager for ESG consulting and making a good living.
You can be impressed by Amy’s substantial profile by reading here.
Let’s fact it. Amy Pinto (Walsh) is a sharp cookie and undoubtedly Thomas found her mind and body very interesting. She could talk about the world he loved to paint, and engage his mind intellectually. And Amy is stacked with a tight, banging body so she was probably a super fun distraction in bed. She has a pretty face and looks great in tight jeans as you can see in the picture.
But her fantastic breasts were indeed bought and paid for. Amy Pinto had breast implants done on a reality TV show called “Dr. 90210.” She also has two daughters from a previous marriage to a man named Russell Walsh, so Thomas Kinkade’s girlfriend had girls in common with him. Her daughters are now late teens. The only family he ever knew were women.
Now tell us your feelings about this story. Is Thomas Kinkade’s mistress just an innocent part of a love triangle, or is Amy Pinto-Walsh a home-wrecking girlfriend?

What a dumb story — Mrs. Kinkade filed for a legal separation two years ago in Santa Clara Superior Court, six months before Mr. Kinkade met Ms. Pinto. Legal separation (virtually the same as divorce in support, visitation, and division of property) takes time — the parties were negotiating the settlement (again, see court records). Lots of people start dating six months after a marriage ends. Yikes, I hope I don’t do anything that draws the attention of “Entertainment” — you folks are mean-spirited.

Thomas Kinkade was a phony. He was sued by a group of his own Thomas Kinkade Gallery owners for using other people to paint his ‘famous’ paintings, then selling them as his own. Kinkade promptly cut off the Gallery owners, who went out of business, and sued Kinkade a second time. Google it.

Not that it matters much, but I’m Bob Williams who wrote reply #1 — I didn’t write #2, and it’s factually inaccurate. The law suit was based on the company (not Kinkade) making promises about sales that didn’t materialize to a couple who owned a gallery — I think it was in Virginia. I don’t think any other galleries joined the suit.

Pinto paraded a drunken Kinkade around Los Gatos
the same way a ringmaster beats on clowns at low budget circus.
Living in Los Gatos , me and many locals saw how Pinto took full advantage of a man needing help with a alcohol problem. Instead of urging him to stop, (even after vomiting on himself at Tommy’s bar in Los Gatos, Ca. That big titted whore laughed and ordered more drinks for Kinkade(they have video) and another time at the same place only a couple months prior to his death, Kinkade went face down on the bar and started convulsing (Tommy’s has video) Pinto at first panicked , then as Kincade snapped back to life , Pinto tried to order kinkade a double kettle soda for a man who should have been taken to the hospital .i was there, as where many locals. Pinto should be facing involuntary manslaughter charges !!!! It’s all on tape at Tommy’s bar and Grill in Los Gatos , Ca.

Amy Pinto claims that her breast are real when infact she was on a plastic surgery talk show in early 2002 documenting her breast enlargement operation. Amy Pinto is a lying big titted gold digging trollup who has threatened to destroy the Kinkade family name with dirt that has collected while fornicating. Another Anna Nicole Smith !!!! Pinto is a classless pig who is trying to profit from a mans misfortune. Whore Whore Whore !!!!

If you’re going to write an article about someone, you should really make sure you get the spelling of his last name correct. Journalism 101. It’s Kinkade with a “k,” not Kincade with a “c.”

Wow – reading these comments from the Los Gatos folks is damning of Pinto-Walsh. This is going to be one awful story that plays out in the court of public opinion – and I am so glad the Los Gatos folks are speaking up about what they observed. How sad! I hope those videos in Tommy’s Bar and Grille show up in a court somewhere when Pinto-Walsh tries to get her $Mill from the estate. Fight hard, Nanette, fight hard!
