Burt Reynolds

Loni Anderson was known for her relationship with Burt Reynolds.
One of her most notable marriages was to Reynolds. The pair met on the set of their film Stoker Ace and were married from 1988 to 1994.
"I feel like Cinderella. I married Prince Charming,” she famously said at their top-secret wedding ceremony at Reynolds' ranch in Jupiter, Fla.
The relationship would become contentious after their split. In 1995, Anderson claimed in an interview that Reynolds was both physically and emotionally abusive. In addition, she claimed the actor failed to pay child support.
"It's a very difficult situation. Sometimes he'll go for months (without paying) and sometimes it is all regular. I think it depends on if he is working," Anderson told a news outlet at the time.
Meanwhile, nearly a decade later, Reynolds famously said that marrying Anderson "was a really dumb move on my part."
Reynolds and Anderson’s divorce wasn't settled until 2015, after Anderson took him to court to settle the remaining balance on their divorce settlement. TMZ reported that Reynolds wrote his ex a check for $154,520 to cover the entire sum. It was considered one of the nastiest and longest divorces in Hollywood history.
Bob Flick

Loni Anderson was married to Bob Folk until the time of her death.
Anderson found her forever partner in folk musician Bob Folk, a founding member of The Brothers Four. Although the pair had been friendly since the 1960s, they didn’t marry until 2008. The pair remained together until Anderson’s passing in August.
