LIZA Minnelli was married four times over the course of her life.
Her fourth marriage ended in 2007, lasting just five years before the pair called it quits.
Liza Minnelli’s marriage to Peter Allen lasted from 1967 until 1974.
On the night of their wedding, Minnelli found Allen being intimate with a man.
Allen later began seeing Mark Herron, who was married to Minnelli’s mother Judy Garland, wrote Vice.
Allen, an Australian singer and songwriter, had a number one hit with single I Go To Rio in his native country in 1976.
In 1974, Minnelli moved on to Jack Hayley Jr.
Minelli’s mother Judy starred in The Wizard Of Oz with Hayley Jr’s father Jack Hayley, who played the Tin Man.
After five years, the marriage broke down as the pair were more platonic than romantic.
The Guardian wrote: “Haley was husband number two and straight, but they were friends rather than lovers.”
Mark Gero was a sculptor whom Minelli wanted to start a family with.
This marriage lasted from 1979 until 1992.
There isn’t much information on their relationship, however Minnelli has spoken openly about the painful moments in her upbringing.
She told Vogue: “It wasn’t and isn’t easy to live a so-called normal life. I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything.”
“You don’t ask a princess what it feels like to be a princess, because she doesn’t know anything but being a princess.
“I didn’t know anything but being Judy Garland’s daughter.”
Minnelli’s fourth and last marriage was to David Gest, a music promoter, in 2002.
Their lavish wedding cost $3.5million, with 850 in attendance and Michael Jackson as the best man.
Mercury News reported that while they were married 16 months, the divorce wasn’t finalised until 2007.
Their divorce was plagued with accusations and lawsuits.
The Daily Mail reported that Gest filed “accusations” with the Supreme Court of Manhattan and accused her of abuse.
In 2003, Gest sued Minnelli for $10million for “loss of work and illness caused by the marriage”.
Gest passed away in 2016. It was reported that he had a stroke.
