#21: Jane Fonda & Richard Perry
Jane Fonda’s later-life romance with Richard Perry came after a huge, complicated, and very public life. The Oscar-winning actress, fitness icon, and activist was in her early 70s when their relationship began. Before him, she had three marriages behind her, including to Roger Vadim, Tom Hayden, and Ted Turner.

Richard, a successful music producer, entered her life while Jane was recovering from knee surgery, and their bond became warm and steady. They shared a home for years before separating in 2017 on friendly terms. Richard died in 2024, so this love story is now bittersweet, but it still marked a meaningful later chapter.
