Celebrity marriages are often unpredictable, but sometimes, even stars find their true love. That’s exactly what happened with Jaclyn Smith.
Many of you may remember Jaclyn Smith for her iconic role on the well-loved TV series, Charlie’s Angels. Her captivating talent and beauty captured the hearts of viewers from all walks of life.
What comes as a surprise to many is that Jaclyn Smith has tied the knot three times before eventually finding her soulmate and building a beautiful life together.
Her journey to fame began when she was cast in Charlie’s Angels, quickly skyrocketing her to celebrity status. Her performance even earned her a Golden Globe nomination. She ventured into films after the show but always harbored the dream of settling down with a family.
Through her life’s journey, Jaclyn believed deeply in marriage as a precursor to starting a family, though her previous unions didn’t last. She was first wedded to actor Roger Davis in 1968. The relationship lasted until 1975.
Later, she crossed paths with Dennis Cole, known for his part on Charlie’s Angels. They married in 1978, but their bond unfortunately dissolved by 1981.

Tony Richman came next in 1981, a filmmaker with whom she seemed to share a promising future. Together, they welcomed two children, allowing Jaclyn to focus more on family life. Their marriage, however, ended in 1989.
Her heart remained unclaimed until 1997, when destiny introduced her to Dr. Brad Allen.
“I married Brad on Oct. 11, 1997 at the Westwood United Methodist Church and 20 years later I’m still a lucky girl!”
Their meeting was not by chance but rather a twist of fate. Dr. Allen had performed lifesaving surgery on her father, and Jaclyn’s mother insisted she meet him afterwards. He kindly escorted her to her car, sparking something special between them.
Jaclyn saw a uniqueness in Allen, describing it as a ‘purity of heart.’ Together, they have now been happily married for over 27 years.
Being a mother has always been Jaclyn’s most cherished role, and now she delights in the joys of grandmotherhood. Albeit, finding the right partner in life equally held significant value to her.
With a loving heart, Allen embraced Jaclyn’s children as his own. Yet life threw the family a curveball in 2002, when Jaclyn faced her own battle with breast cancer.
Thankfully, diligent check-ups led to early detection. Although the findings shook her, the presence of her loving family helped her through the storm.
After processing the initial shock, Jaclyn reached out to her family. Their unwavering support was a pillar of strength, as they rallied around her in Los Angeles during this testing time.
Jaclyn chose to undergo a lumpectomy accompanied by eight weeks of radiation treatments, facing her cancer journey bravely with her family by her side.
Today, Jaclyn lives a life filled with joy. With her beloved husband and family surrounding her, she enjoys the happiness that comes from love that stands the test of time. Here’s to many more years of beautiful moments for Jaclyn and her family.
