John Wayne is probably best known for his larger-than-life presence onscreen, but his fans also know him for his rather fascinating, albeit complicated, love life. Wayne married three times. His first wife was Josephine Alicia Saenz. After that marriage fell apart, Wayne got married to Esperanza Baur. Soon enough, that marriage too failed. Wayne's third and final marriage was to Pilar Pallette. Wayne remained married to Pallette until his death in 1979.

Wayne had four children with Josephine and three more with Pilar. Several of his children have since followed in his footsteps by entering the film and television industry.

While his divorce from Saenz certainly was a bit dramatic, Wayne's most complicated - and messy - divorce was with Baur. The former Mexican actress strongly believed that Wayne had been cheating on her with his co-star Gail Russell. Although this was a claim that John and Gail both vehemently denied, it is well-known that Wayne did in fact cheat on his wives with a number of women.

Marlene Dietrich, Maureen O'Hara, and Merle Oberon are three of John Wayne's extramarital love interests but there is one woman that he got with while still married to his third wife, Pilar Palette, that he loved very deeply. If you don't know who that might be, make sure you watch this video in full.

In this video, we'll be discussing everyone that John Wayne hooked up with while trying our best to determine why the famed Western star was so unfaithful. This is one video that John Wayne fans won't to miss. So, buckle up, get a snack, and get ready for one heck of story. This is the John Wayne that The Duke wouldn't want you to see.

Every Woman John Wayne Hooked Up With (Why He Cheated)

In those days things were different, men were men and women knew how to fight back!
When my Grandad had an affair, my Grandmother went round to the other woman, threatened her with a rolling pin, and dragged him out by his ear!

[leesashriber]

He'll always be The Duke to me. 😊

[yancyclark]

John Wayne was is and always be The Man!!!

I can't believe that you mentioned Merle Oberon and didn't mention Wuthering Heights or The Scarlet Pimpernel!

[robertgorton]

Maureen O'Hara was a bit of a surprise but, not fully because, one could see chemistry between her and John Wayne in the movies they starred together in. There are men who just cannot stay faithful to one woman and John may have been one of them. There are women who are the same they cannot be faithful to anyone as well.

Being an actor scripts sometime call for close physical contact with women
However not all become involved
Charlie heston managed to stay uninvolved with his leading ladies
As did patrick mcgoonan

Given John Wayne's attitude towards race it's surprising that he was involved with more than one Hispanic actress.

[rogerpropes]

I once read that Wayne complained that one of his wives, presumably they were all Hispanic Catholics, was so devout that she had to ask a priest if it was alright to have sex with him. No wonder he played around.

[brianbullard]

Wayne and O'Hara were just friends.

[windronner]

I'm certain it's due more to the characters these actor play. Giving the actor a sense of duality in both life and films. Some actors take advantage of their roles off screen, that they have on screen.... It is what it is.

Well as a man I never cheated on anyone that I was with !!
I’m just a retired Law Enforcement Officer !! It’s just not right to cheat !! Then again I’ve had two of my women I was with cheated on me !! They said I was to Nice that that made them feel like I was cheating on them ? So in there minds eye goodness is something to cheat on !!
Some are just sick an looking for excuses to get out of your relationships or they just love to cheat !!!

[tamilimine]

Interesting watch though but you forgot that The Duke was also involved with Carmen Miranda, Katy Jurado and Movita Castaneda, all of Latina descent.
Thank you, Facts Verse, now it’s time to make a video about Alain Delon and Marcello Mastroianni’s hookups. 😍👍👏

[GarlandBrooks]

Great work as usual.✅ I wondered if part of the reason for Capucine's suicide (North To Alaska with Wayne) had something to do with him. Their onscreen chemistry was interesting. Also enjoyed him and Angie Dickinson's on screen flirting and wondered if that was ever carried over to their offscreen lives. Well, there's two I thought of. If you find any background info on either lady, I'm sure I'll find it here on my next visit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[chuckberger]

From people who knew her, Susan Hayward Had an affair with Wayne.

[Falconlibrary]

Why was Wayne unfaithful?
Uh, because gorgeous women kept throwing themselves at him?
Duh.

Video of John Wayne Entertaining The Troops in WW 2 .. I Was Never So Embarrassed Watching A Video On Youtube Before

[thehair]

He never hooked up with Maureen O'Hara.

[cimhaa]

The title Cleary gets a lot of clicks lol.

It always seems funny when you hear about a star, if he has had an affair, the world wants to know. Me, myself do not like gossip at all. It seems like the world just has to know. I am not the greatest Christian in the world but gossiping is very hurtful to a lot of folks. I was sorry to hear about all this. It did not make me feel bad or anything. I just washed it away enough to find the good information. I did like some of the info to get some good kind ideas, but was left wondering about all the kids and what effect it had on them and their life. I did not hear which children belonged to which wife. Like his son Patrick? kind of chatted about one thing only, the bad parts. But that is life.

It would be hard to refuse a good looking person man or woman when one is away from home and working closely with someone that is so attractive!
