After divorcing Jolie and vowing never to marry again, Billy finds his perfect sixth wife: her new photos!
Billy Bob Thornton has always been a man whose personal life has attracted as much attention as his career as an actor and director. Six marriages, a series of passionate, dramatic and sometimes unexpected relationships… it seems that only with his sixth wife has he finally found the stability he was looking for.
Billy Bob’s next relationships didn’t last long either. In 1986, he married actress Toni Lawrence, but just a few years later, they split up. In 1990, he tried to build a life with singer and actress Cindy Williams, but that union was also fleeting. By then, it was clear that Thornton wasn’t ready for a long-term commitment.
In 1993, he married model Petra Chernak. The couple had two sons, Harry James and William, but their home life was far from perfect. Rumours of problems behind closed doors soon began to surface, and in 1997, Petra filed for divorce, claiming that Thornton had been aggressive. The real whirlwind began in 2000 when Billy Bob married actress Angelina Jolie. Their relationship was intense, with the two creating a media sensation by exchanging vials of blood, getting matching tattoos and giving each other strange gifts, such as a gravestone. But after three years, Jolie grew cold towards these eccentric displays of love and left him. For Thornton, this was a blow, and he swore he would never marry again.
However, the topic of marriage remained off-limits. Billy Bob had been so disillusioned by his past marriages that whenever he was asked about marriage, he would say there was no point in making it official again. But in 2014, after 11 years together, they tied the knot in secret. The ceremony was low-key, and it wasn’t until two years later that Thornton revealed their marriage in an interview.
Over the years, Connie became more than just Thornton’s wife; she became his true support. She helped him through difficult times, withstand pressure from critics, and find balance in his life. In 2024, Thornton commented with surprise that he was the last living actor on Hollywood’s list of “records” for the most numerous marriages. But apparently this title no longer weighed on him; he had found someone he felt truly at ease with.
Today, Billy Bob Thornton and Connie England continue to live happily together. They attend public events, support each other in their careers and seem to be content. Perhaps this sixth marriage will really be their last true commitment.
