HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ROBERTS

Lovett was married to the Hollywood star, Roberts, for about two years. The pair tied the knot in June 1993 when Lovett was 38 years old and Roberts was just 27 years of age.

They got divorced in 1995 after releasing a joint public statement that claimed:

“We remain close and in great support of each other.”

At the time, the close friends and family members of the duo expressed their shock at their separation. A few of them expressed that Roberts and Lovett looked great together and "really in love."

Lovett got married again in 2017 by tying the knot with longtime partner, April Kimble.
