How many times did Raquel Welch get married?

Raquel Welch was one of the biggest actresses of the 1960s thanks to her roles in the 1966 hits ‘One Million Years B.C’ and ‘Fantastic Voyage’.

The 82-year-old passed away on February 15 following a brief illness, having been married four times and having two children throughout her life.

Welch once stated she was too set in her ways, which is why she didn’t need a man.

“I’m too set in my ways,” she told Piers Morgan on his ‘Life Stories’ show in 2015. “I like what I do, I actually enjoy being me, and I make a very good living at it, and I’m happy. I don’t have to have a man.”

Here’s a look at the men Raquel Welch married over the years.

James Welch

Raquel married her high school sweetheart, James Welch, in Las Vegas back in 1959 despite her father’s protests.

“By marrying Jim, I was doing something for my own personal satisfaction and pretty much in defiance of my father’s wishes,” she explained.

“What I didn’t anticipate was how a series of events would dovetail together and forever complicate my life. Jim and I were just settling into an apartment together and tackling the realities of married life: he was looking for a job, and I was calling my mother ten times a day for recipes and tips on cleaning products.”

The couple had two children, Damon Welch, who was born in 1959, and daughter Latanne ‘Tahnee’ Welch, who was born in 1961. They later separated in 1962 and divorced in 1964, though she kept his name.

Patrick Curtis

Welch married producer Patrick Curtis in 1967. They had worked together on ‘A Swingin’ Summer’ in 1965 and decided to tie the knot at Paris’ City Hall just two years later.

The couple later got divorced in 1972.

André Weinfeld

Weinfeld and Welch married in 1980 and remained together for 10 years.

“We had a very happy marriage,” André told Closer Weekly in 2015. “Today, Hollywood marriages last three months and that’s considered long.”

He added that Welch’s decision to move back to Los Angeles, while he stayed in New York, is what ultimately ended the marriage.

Richard Palmer

Richard Palmer, owner of Mulberry Street Pizzeria, and Welch met in 1996 and opted to get married in 1999.

“My wife is a living legend,” he said. “I get great seats at the fights. You go wherever you want to go. It’s great.”

However, the couple separated in 2003 and got divorced a year later, with Welch later stating she would not remarry.
