Ava Gardner’s True Love
When Ava Gardner first met Frank Sinatra, she was an unknown young wannabe actress. He was one of America’s most renowned faces, and she was unknown. However, their paths met again after about a decade, and this time Gardner was a bona fide star, whereas Sinatra’s fame was fading. Gardner, fading or not, was upset with Sinatra, and unlike their prior encounter, he noticed her as well. Sinatra’s marriage stood in the way of their love. He was with his first wife, Nancy Barbato, with whom he has three children.

Sinatra Tells His Wife
While Sinatra was married, he and Gardner had an affair. Sinatra eventually told his wife what was going on and said that he and Gardner were in love. His wife kicked him out and locked the door behind him, essentially terminating their decade-long marriage. Sinatra and Barbato’s breakup took some time to settle because they were Catholics. Gardner was in Spain at the time, filming a movie. While she was there, Sinatra paid her a visit, and she learnt of Sinatra’s jealousy. He demanded to know if she was with any guys while she was there, but he insisted that as long as she told him the truth, he wouldn’t mind. She admitted to spending the night with a bullfighter, which infuriated Sinatra because he had failed to keep his promise.
