Who Were Marilyn Monroe's Most Famous Lovers? Revisiting Her Relationships and Rumored Affairs
Jim Dougherty
Monroe was 16 years old and still known as Norma Jeane Baker when she married Jim Dougherty, a classmate at Van Nuys High School, in 1942.
Their relationship began to disintegrate when Dougherty joined the Merchant Marines and she began modeling. They were divorced by 1946.
"If I hadn't gone into the Merchant Marines during World War II, she would still be Mrs. Dougherty today," he told PEOPLE in 1976.
Charlie Chaplin Jr.
Rumor has it that Monroe had an affair with the legendary Charlie Chaplin's son, Charlie Jr., in 1947. The relationship allegedly ended when Charlie caught Marilyn in his brother Sydney's bed.
Charlie referenced the affair in his autobiography, and Anthony Summers mentions the relationship in his book Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe.
The alleged romance was also explored in Blonde(2022), starring Ana de Armas in an Oscar-nominated role as Monroe, based on Joyce Carol Oates’ 2000 novel of the same name. Although unconfirmed, the film depicted Monroe in a three-way relationship with Charlie and Edward “Eddy” G. Robinson Jr.
Milton Berle
Milton Berle and Monroe first met on the set of Ladies of the Chorus in 1948. Although the comedian was officially dating film star Adele Jergens at the time, Berle claimed to have had a brief affair with the young actress.
Berle, the first superstar of the TV era (and, according to Truman Capote and showbiz lore, famously well-endowed), also starred with Monroe as himself in the aptly titled film Let's Make Love in 1960.
"Marilyn was on the climb in Hollywood, but there was nothing cheap about her," he wrote in his 1975 autobiography. "She wasn't one of the starlets around town that you put one meal into and threw into the sack. Maybe she didn't know exactly who she was, but she knew she was worth something. She had respect Page-Turning Plans: Looking ahead to 2025 • Episode #168 It's a new year and a new episode.
