A SWEET-NATURED PERSON

Gordon further revealed that she always received Roger's utmost attention. However, when the singer started turning 50, she felt that his attention toward her had faded.

The actress further hinted that Rogers also went through a mid-life crisis at one point in life, and he started to frequently dream about the end of his career.

However, despite all the difficulties, the duo shared many sweet moments during their relationship. Gordon stated that Rogers was a "pleasure to live with" because he had a great sense of humor.

The couple was married for 16 years and they even have a gorgeous 38-year-old son. Sadly, their marriage couldn't stand the test of time and they eventually divorced later in 1993.

The legendary figure in the country music scene took his last breath at the age of 81. It was deemed that Rogers died of natural causes in the presence of his family.

Rogers was such a powerful and influential person in the music scene that he was once deemed as the person who popularized "country music" among the pop audience. In his six-decades-long career, the country star has delivered several chart-topping hits including "The Gambler," "Lady," "Islands In The Stream," and "Lucille."
