Johnny Cash, Vivian Liberto, and June Carter
Johnny Cash met Vivian Liberto at a roller rink in 1951. The couple dated in San Antonio for three weeks until Johnny was deployed to Germany for a three-year tour. Amazingly, the romance stayed alive, and the two wrote each other hundreds of love letters. Vivian and Johnny were married one month after he returned home and went on to have four daughters together.
However, their happy-ever-after was cut short when Vivian filed for divorce 12 years later. Johnny's adultery and addiction served as the catalyst, as well as his close relationship with fellow musician June Carter. Two years later, Johnny proposed to June on stage during a live performance in Ontario, and the two were married up until his death.
