When we revealed the separation, journalism went into high gear. Princess Diana sent me a thank-you note for keeping her off the cover of Individuals magazine.’
Tabloid favourites ever considering that 1982 when the two attractive stars first started dating, Reynolds and Anderson wed in 1988, but separated five years later on when she served him with divorce papers. The split was an awful one, with allegations of extramarital relations, abuse and bad parenting, and it played out in court for several years until a settlement was reached in the late 1990s.
The Hollywood couple’s astonishing court appearances and bitter disputes took place at the same time as the separation and divorce of Diana and Prince Charles, when newspapers included daily updates on the fallout of the couple’s split, consisting of Charles’ affair with the then Camilla Parker Bowles, now Duchess of Cornwall.
Reynolds and Anderson fixed up later on in life, and she attended his funeral service in 2018.
