Marilyn Monroe’s Famous Lovers: A Look Back at Her Relationships and Rumored Affairs.
Marilyn Monroe’s romantic life has been a subject of fascination, much like the mysteries surrounding her death in 1962.
Despite widespread speculation about her relationships, Monroe was known for keeping her personal life private. Even her close friend and rumored lover, photographer Sam Shaw, once remarked on her discretion, saying, “If Marilyn entertained every claim made about her, she would have had no time for her career.”
Let’s revisit some of the notable individuals who were associated with Hollywood’s iconic sex symbol. Monroe, then known as Norma Jeane Baker, married her high school classmate Jim Dougherty in 1942 when she was just 16. Their marriage ended in 1946 as Monroe’s modeling career took off and Dougherty served in World War II.
Rumors circulated about Monroe’s involvement with Charlie Chaplin’s son, Charlie Jr., in 1947, although these claims remain unverified. Another alleged romance involved comedian Milton Berle, whom Monroe met on the set of “Ladies of the Chorus” in 1948. Berle, known for his TV fame and charisma, later mentioned a brief affair with Monroe in his autobiography.
Monroe’s life and relationships have been the subject of books and films, including “Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe” by Anthony Summers and the movie “Blonde” (2022), starring Ana de Armas.
These glimpses into Monroe’s love life offer a reminder of the intrigue and allure that surrounded Hollywood’s most iconic star.
