Elizabeth Taylor and Larry Fortensky (Construction Worker)
Liz Taylor met her seventh and final husband, Larry Fortensky, at the Betty Ford Center in 1988. She was there to address her issues with overeating while he was there to get a handle on his drinking problems. An unlikely match, Fortensky was a construction worker and was 20 years her junior, but that didn’t stop him from marrying the award-winning actress.
Three years after the pair started dating, they tied the knot at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. Unfortunately, after just five years together, their marriage ended. Fortensky received $1 million from Taylor in their divorce, which was the agreed amount stated in their prenup. Part of the agreement stated that Fortensky would get nothing unless the marriage lasted at least five years, which is exactly how long they made things work. Taylor paid him off and remained single till her death in 2011.

Who could have predicted that she would meet Prince William in 2001 and fall madly in love while attending the University of St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland?
While their relationship was on and off in the beginning, they were eventually able to work things out. The now Duchess and Prince were married in 2011 in a fairytale ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London. They’ve since had three children together, creating a family that is the envy of so many young girls. Not it’s hard to remember a time when the two weren’t an iconic couple!
