Nine husbands of Zsa Zsa Gabor, a renowned actress and socialite.
Gabor's final marriage was to Prince Frederick of Anhalt, which lasted until her death in 2016.
Sári Gábor, later known as Zsa Zsa Gabor, was a renowned actress whose life was intensely scrutinized by the public.
Despite her fame for her early film roles, such as "Moulin Rouge" (1952), "Lili" (1953), and "Queen of Outer Space" (1958), her personal life was equally noteworthy, particularly her numerous marriages and divorces.
Gabor had nine marriages in her life. Review all of her husbands over time.
Gabor's first marriage was before she came to the United States.
In 1935, she married Burhan Belge, a Turkish diplomat, while still using the name Sári.
Until 1941, they were a married couple. However, she relocated to the U.S. and left him behind.
In 1936, she was crowned Miss Hungary, but was later disqualified for lying about her age to enter the pageant.
In 1942, Gabor married Conrad Hilton, a businessman and founder of Hilton Hotels, marking her second marriage.
Gabor and Hilton were married from 1942 to 1947.
Francesca Hilton, Gabor's only child, was born in March 1947 and passed away in January 2015 at the age of 67.
In her 1991 memoir, "One Lifetime Is Not Enough," Gabor stated that her pregnancy was a result of Hilton raping her.
Gabor married George Sanders shortly after her divorce from Hilton.
In 1949, Sanders and Gabor got married, but they divorced in 1954.
Gabor's older sister, Magda, later married him. It is claimed that Gabor supported the couple's union.
"According to "Finding Zsa Zsa: The Gabors Behind the Legend" by Sam Staggs, Gabor reportedly told Sanders, "You need each other, you can help each other.""
The marriage only lasted six weeks, according to Vanity Fair.
Gabor married Herbert L. Hutner, an investment banker and lawyer, in 1962. Their marriage lasted until 1966.
During the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush presidencies, Hutner served as chairman of the President's Advisory Committee on the Arts, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. Following his marriage to Gabor, they relocated to Los Angeles, where he shifted his focus to investment banking.
Hutner married another actress, Juli Reding, in 1969 after his marriage to Gabor. They remained together until his death in 2008.
Gabor's marriage to Joshua S. Cosden Jr. was brief.
In 1966, shortly after her separation from Hutner, they got married. She wore a white dress, white gloves, and a big veil to the ceremony. In 1967, Cosden Jr., an oil magnate from Texas, and Gabor were divorced.
Joshua S. Cosden Sr., Cosden's father, was commonly known as "the Oil Prince".
Another one of Gabor's brief marriages was to Jack Ryan.
Ryan was the research and design vice president at the toy company Mattel.
While many attribute the creation of Barbie to Ruth Handler, the co-founder of Mattel, Ann Ryan, the daughter of Ryan, claims that her father is the true creator of the doll, citing him as the one responsible for the design.
Ryan and Gabor were only married from 1975 until 1976.
Gabor met Michael O'Hara, a divorce lawyer, when he represented her during her divorce with Ryan.
In 1976, the two were married just a few days after her divorce was finalized at the Hilton in Las Vegas. By 1983, she had divorced her seventh husband.
Gabor's shortest marriage lasted only one day.
She and Felipe de Alba were married in 1983 at sea.
Her last divorce with O'Hara had not yet been finalized when she married de Alba, resulting in the quick annulment of their marriage, as reported by the BBC.
Gabor's final marriage was to a German-American businessman named Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, who became Prince Frédéric at age 35 through adoption.
"Marie Auguste von Anhalt, the most well-known princess in Germany, adopted me, as per The New York Post. I had played soccer with her grandson, who moved to South America. I was the black sheep of my family. I was adopted by the daughter of the last emperor of Germany."
According to Page Six, while the German monarchy retains its title, it no longer holds any power.
Gabor was married to von Anhalt from 1986 until her death in December 2016.
In 2022, he adopted an adult son and documented the experience on A&E's "Adults Adopting Adults."
"Von Anhalt previously told Planet Chronicle Digital that he tried very hard to find somebody, but the show came along and said they could help him. He felt it was the right thing to do to get more people involved, and because of the show, it became much easier to find the right person."
Kevin Feucht, who met Gabor before her death, was eventually adopted by him.
Despite the controversies surrounding his wife, including her arrest in 1989 for slapping a police officer, Von Anhalt remained by her side throughout their marriage.
