Everything We Know About Farrah Fawcett And Ryan O'Neal's Relationship

In 1979, Farrah Fawcett left Lee Majors for Ryan O’Neal. She told the South Florida Sun Sentinel in a 1989 interview that Majors hadn’t been supportive of her and that O’Neal “has always liked me independent.” O’Neal was madly in love. “For the first time in my life, something took precedence over myself,” he told the Daily News.

While their romance blossomed, Fawcett had soured on the idea of marriage, calling it a “business contract,” per the South Florida Sun Sentinel. That didn’t stop O’Neal from continually asking her to marry him — beginning with the first time they slept together. The closest they came was in 1980. They announced to reporters in Venice that September that they planned to wed, but nothing came of it. “I used to ask her to marry me all the time,” O’Neal told “20/20” in 2009. “But … it just got to be a joke, you know. We just joked about it.” Just days before Fawcett died, he again announced that they planned to wed, but it never came to be.
