Kenny Rogers’ love life was as storied as his career. At 19, he married his first wife after they welcomed a daughter, but the union ended two years later. He remarried quickly, yet that relationship also dissolved within three years. His third marriage lasted over a decade and brought him a son, Kenny Jr., but constant touring strained the bond. In 1977, Rogers wed actress Marianne Gordon. Together they had a son, Chris, and stayed married nearly 20 years. Their 1993 divorce was among the most expensive in the industry, with Marianne receiving $60 million—a settlement Rogers said she “deserved.”
Four years later, Rogers married Wanda Miller, his fifth and final wife. Despite their 28-year age gap, they shared lasting happiness and welcomed twin boys, Justin and Jordan. Rogers admitted he initially resisted having more children but cherished fatherhood. Wanda remained his soulmate until his passing in 2020, with Marianne continuing to support the family even afterward.
