By October 1953, Clint and Magaret were engaged, and in December, they tied the knot. Their union produced two children, Kyle and Alison.
Their marriage was one filled with a lot of extramarital affairs and a secret child, so in 1978, Johnson filed for legal separation, and by November 1984, their divorce was finalized.

CONTROVERSIAL AT BEST
Each time Maggie got pregnant, she would hesitate to terminate it. However, each time this happened, Clint would convince her that it was the best thing to do. Their relationship ended bitterly in 1989 with a palimony suit.
