Anna Nicole Smith thought she found her forever love not once, but twice. According to HollywoodLife, the Playboy model first got married in 1985 to Billy Smith long before she had gained any fame. At the time, they were only 16 and 17 years old respectively. During their marriage, the couple welcomed a baby boy named Daniel Wayne Smith, who died years later due to an accidental drug overdose. Anna Nicole and Billy’s marriage didn’t last long, as they broke up in 1987 and got divorced in 1993.
Before the couple had finalized their divorce, Anna Nicole had already moved on to someone else. While working at a strip club in Texas in 1991, she met billionaire J. Howard Marshall. The two began an affair, but what was even more shocking was that Anna Nicole was 63 years younger than Marshall. The couple got married just a year after she was divorced from her first husband, per CNN.

While many believed the actor had used Marshall for his money, Anna Nicole continuously denied this idea and claimed she was madly in love with Marshall. According to CNN, Anna Nicole told Larry King, “I loved him for so much for what he did for me and my son. I’ve never had love like that before. No one has ever loved me, and done things for me, and respected me and didn’t care about what people said about me.”
