The Truth About Billy Bob Thorntons Failed Love Life
When most people walk down the aisle, they do so in hopes that they will spend the rest of their lives with the person they are about to marry. Unfortunately, everyone knows that some relationships simply aren’t meant to be no matter how much everyone involves wants them to work. Still, it is pretty surprising to learn that some major stars have been married and divorced many, many times over the years.
When it comes to Billy Bob Thornton’s career, it is clear that he has enjoyed a huge amount of success. Of course, just because someone is fortunate in one area of their life doesn’t mean that things run smoothly for them in every way. For example, Thornton’s love life has been a mess over the years. Of course, celebrities are human beings like the rest of us so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that some stars blame themselves for their failed love life. With that in mind, it begs an obvious question, what is the truth about Billy Bob Thornton’s romantic failures.
Unfamous Partners
As anyone who follows the tabloids should already know, a lot of celebrities solely date fellow celebrities. In a lot of ways, that makes sense since it certainly seems like stars can better relate to what other celebrities go through. However, since their relationships often get ignored, a lot of people don’t realize how many stars are married to regular people.
During his life, Billy Bob Thornton has married six different women and all but one of them weren’t famous. For example, from 1978 until 1980, Thornton was married to Melissa Lee Gatlin and the couple had a daughter together. Unfortunately, their daughter’s life has been touched by tragedy as she was sentenced to 20 years in prison for manslaughter.
After Billy Bob Thornton’s first failed marriage, he walked down the aisle with an actor named Toni Lawrence and they stayed together from 1986 until 1988. Next, Thornton marred the actor, singer, and author Cynda Williams in 1990, and they got divorced two years later in 1992. From there, Thornton marred the Playboy model Pietra Dawn Cherniak in 1993 and they had two sons together before their 1997 divorce.
Famous Relationships
In the year 2000, Bily Bob Thornton got married for the fifth time and while that is remarkable enough, there is another reason why the relationship got a lot of attention. After all, Thornton walked down the aisle with his Pushing Tin co-star Angeline Jolie. Of course, there are a lot of reasons why Thornton and Jolie’s marriage got a lot of attention. After all, they both were famous, Thornton and Jolie revealed that they both wore necklaces that contained vials of each other’s blood, and he is two decades older than her.
Ultimately, Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie would get divorced and that has been blamed on more than one thing over the years. For example, Thornton has said he never “felt good enough” for Jolie and he has also said that she has a more adventurous lifestyle than him. On the other hand, Jolie has said that when she adopted her son Maddox, Thornton wasn’t “ready” to become a father.
Long before Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton got divorced, their relationship started in controversy. After all, when they became a couple, Thornton was engaged to the acclaimed actor Laura Dern. According to what Dern told Talk magazine in the year 2000, she was away making a movie when Thornton moved out of their home and married Jolie without even breaking up with Laura. "I left our home to work on a movie, and while I was away, my boyfriend got married, and I've never heard from him again. It's like a sudden death. For no one has there been any closure or clarity."
Things Are Looking Up
After Billy Bob Thornton got divorced a fifth time, he likely thought he would never tie the knot again. Despite that, later the same year he and Angelina Jolie got divorced, Billy Bob Thornton began dating a woman named Connie Angland. Also involved in Hollywood, Angland met Thornton on a film set where she was working as a part of the makeup effects crew member.
Even though Billy Bob Thornton had seemingly rushed into marriage throughout much of his adult life, he and Connie Angland solely dated for more than a decade. Despite Thornton’s reported lack of faith in marriage following his fifth divorce, he married Angland in 2014 and they remain together to this day. While it is impossible for anyone who isn’t a part of a relationship to truly know how healthy a couple is, there are no publically available reasons to believe Thornton’s sixth marriage will end anytime soon.
