Jack Nicholson dated leading ladies of Hollywood, but married only one of them: Inside the Actor's complicated love life: Complete story here!
Actor Jack Nicholson causes a media ruckus as he appears, looking disheveled, in the public eye after over a year of disappearance. Known for his illustrious career, consisting of classic hits like Terms of Endearment, The Last Detail, The Shining, and Carnal Knowledge, Nicholson's last acting role was in the 2010 romantic comedy, How Do You Know; following which the actor adapted to a notoriously low-key lifestyle until his complete withdrawal from the public eye.
Jack Nicholson was born on April 22, 1937, in Neptune City, New Jersey. He made his film debut in the 1958 film The Cry Baby Killer, but it wasn't until a decade later, in 1969 that Nicholson landed his breakthrough role in Easy Rider. Jack has since carved a career parallel to any Hollywood legendary actor. He has raked three Academy Awards, three BAFTAs, one Grammy, and several more in his five-decade-long career. Nicholson has lived a love life as thrilling and eye-brow raising as his professional feats.
Inside Jack Nicholson's Romantic Life!
The Academy-winning actor is known for his womanizing ways and has been linked to numerous women over his decades-long career. He has had a few long-term relationships but based on the estimation that he slept with over 2,000 women, Jack is rightfully known as the "fling king." Nicholson's first-ever public relationship was with actress Sandra Knight, his co-star in Terror. The pair fell in love young and haphazardly stepped into married life. Nicholson recalls feeling a wave of doubt as he exchanged vows with the actress.

Despite their brief nuptial and Nicholson's seductive tendencies, Sandra had only nice things to say about her ex-husband. "The real Jack is a loving, caring, and giving person," Sandra said about Jack. The Shining actor was legally tied to Sandra when he started dating Mimi Machu. Jack's most famous fling was with Susan Anspach, who alleged that Jack had conceived a love child with her.
Nicholson is considered one of Hollywood's most infamous seducers. SOURCE: Instagram Jack provided financial assistance to their alleged son, Caleb, but never publicly admitted to being his biological father. Inside Nicholson's scarce long-term relationships, the first name has to be of actress Angelica Houston, who he dated on and off from 1973 to 1989. Jack's bumpy romance with Houston overlapped with many women, including Janice Dickinson, Jill St. John, and Winnie Hollman. Jack and Houston's relationship ended for good when the actor admitted to getting Rebecca Broussard pregnant.

Nicholson's lengthy list of rumored romances also includes actress Meryl Streep, with whom he worked in Ironweed, Melanie Griffith, Amber Smith, Julie Delpy, and more.
Nicholson was married to Sandra Knight from 1962 to 1968. SOURCE: Instagram Often compared with Hollywood's greatest seducers like Lord Byron and Giacomo Casanova, Nicholson rarely bragged about his wandering heart. The Oscar winner's past statement alludes to his quest to find true love. "I've had everything a man could ask for. But I don't know if anyone could say I'm successful with affairs of the heart. I would love that one last real romance," Jack famously said. The actor's last publicly known liaison was with actress Paz de la Huerta in 2006.
Get to Know Jack Nicholson's Kids!
The legendary actor has fathered six kids with five women and only one of them didn't stem out of wedlock. Nicholson's eldest, Jennifer, mostly keeps out of the spotlight and has been vocal about the inherent pressure that comes with being the daughter of the Oscar winner. She is a talented set designer, actor, and interior designer with two children of her own. "I like being Jack Nicholson's daughter and I'm proud of him, but people don't understand the pressures that come along with that," she once said.
Jack has six children with five women. SOURCE: Instagram Nicholson's second child, Caleb, was part of a controversy at one point when his mother, Anspach publicly dragged Jack for not acknowledging Caleb. Caleb's paternity remained a controversy for long but sources, even Caleb admitted to having a bond with the actor in private. Caleb has since dabbled in acting. The Shining star welcomed his third kid, Honey Hollman, with Winnie Hollman in 1981. Honey lives a low-profile life with her husband Peter Duffy, with whom she shares three kids.
The fourth and fifth of Nicholson's brood, Lorraine Nicholson, and Ray Nicholson, were products of the actor's years-long relationship with Broussard. Both Lorraine and Ray have raked in several acting credits, although nowhere near their legendary father. Nicholson's youngest, Tessa, happens to be in a situation similar to that of Caleb. Tessa was reportedly born from Jack's affair with Jenine Gourin but was never accepted by the actor himself. "My mom wanted me to have a relationship with him, but he said he wasn't interested," Tessa, who is also an actress, claimed.
