We all enjoy gaining a glimpse inside the life of the rich and famous. They don’t even have to be doing anything noteworthy for magazines to write about. Is a Kardashian boiling an egg? That’s quite the headline. Consider the excitement that surrounds a star experiencing a significant life event! Everyone wants a front-row seat to get a glimpse of the action! This is most likely why you appreciated our earlier article about ancient honeymoon images of the most well-known people of the last several decades. It’s also why we had so much fun putting it together, and why we thought you’d like to see a sequel.
30+ Old Photos Of Famous Hollywood Stars On Their Honeymoon
Barbara Hutton and Baron Gottfried von Cramm
If that checkered coat isn’t appropriate for a honeymoon, we’re not sure what is. Barbara Hutton proudly wore it when she locked arms with her new husband, German tennis player Baron Gottfried von Cramm. They had just landed at Idlewild Airport after being married in Paris. They were on their way to Mexico at the moment. But things did not work out between the two in the long run, and the pair eventually divorced. In reality, von Cramm was one of seven men Hutton would marry during her lifetime.

Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini
There are several sites that are ideal for honeymoon photography. This photo was taken in 1950 in Venice, Italy. Ingrid Bergman, a Swedish film star, is seen hanging out on a balcony at the Venetian Grand Hotel with her husband, Roberto Rossellini. Bergman had previously been married to Dr. Peter Lindström. However, her affair with Rossellini was well documented, with their passion beginning during the making of the film “Stromboli.” Bergman and Lindstrom eventually divorced, and she began living with Rossellini. Despite producing a son and twin daughters, the couple’s marriage was difficult, and Rossellini’s alleged infidelity eventually led to their divorce in 1957.

Joe DiMaggio and Dorothy DiMaggio
It comes as no surprise that the top baseball players have had various degrees of success in the love area. Joe DiMaggio is no exception. The New York Yankee is seen here enjoying his honeymoon with his wedded bride Dorothy. The pair met in 1937, and after only two years together, they proclaimed their engagement to the public. They married the same year, and it wasn’t long before they welcomed a son. Joseph Junior was born in 1941. However, DiMaggio’s military service during World War II strained their marriage, and the pair separated in 1944.

Peggy Lee and Brad Dexter
When we marry, we end one chapter of our lives and begin a new one. And that’s exactly what Warner Bros. star Peggy Lee did with her new husband, Brad Dexter, as they boarded the Super Chief for their honeymoon in New York and Washington. Lee has previously been married to guitarist and composer Dave Barbour. Eventually, she moved on and married Dexter. However, after alleging that he did not work, Lee decided to split up with Dexter after less than a year together. She married and divorced twice more throughout her lifetime.

Tommy Dorsey and Jane New
It’s surprising to see a bandleader like Tommy Dorsey dressed as he is in this shot. The jazz pianist was having a fantastic honeymoon with his bride Jane New. They are boarding a yacht in Miami Beach. The pair married in 1948. Jane had previously worked as a dancer at the Copacabana nightclub, and we can only assume that they met there. Tommy and Jane’s marriage lasted eight years. During that period, they had two children together. Sadly, Dorsey died in 1956, not long after his 51st birthday.

Martha O’Driscoll and Richard D. Adams
If you could define “happiness” with a photograph, this would undoubtedly be it. However, it did not fully portray the years that these two newlyweds would spend together. Martha O’Driscoll and her first husband, Lieutenant Commander Richard D. Adams, enjoyed a great honeymoon after marrying in 1943. And this photograph was shot shortly after. Unfortunately, their love would only survive ten months, with Adams’ engagement in World War II forcing their divorce proceedings to be postponed. Even though Adams refused to agree to the divorce, O’Driscoll finally got her way in 1947.

Billie Dove and Robert Kenaston
A picture of newlyweds holding hands has never looked more touching. Billie Dove, a Hollywood celebrity, and real estate entrepreneur Robert Kenaston were photographed enjoying an intimate time together during their honeymoon, just days after they married. They stayed at the Desert Inn in Palm Springs, CA. Dove had finished her final picture “Blondie of the Follies” and was eager to get back to her personal life. And it was a wise decision, as Dove and Kenaston would have 35 happy years of marriage together before the latter died in 1970. The couple is survived by their son, Robert Alan Kenaston Jr.

Clark Gable and Carole Lombard
Is there a man in Hollywood better known for stealing hearts than Clark Gable? In this photo, the renowned actor is still wearing his long hair, which he grew out for his career-defining role in “Gone With the Wind.” At the time, Gable had recently married Carole Lombard, and the couple may be seen enjoying their honeymoon at a golf course in Del Monte, California. The man standing next to them is Eric Tyrrell-Martin, a British polo player. By all accounts, it was a very happy period in Gable’s life. Tragically, Lombard died in an aircraft crash in 1942, breaking Gable’s heart in the process.

Johnny Weissmueller and Bobbe Arnst
Photos do not always capture the complete tale. While these two appeared to be head over heals for each other, their relationship would not endure. Swimming champion Johnny Weissmueller is shown here romantically kissing his wife Bobbe Arnst on their honeymoon in Miami, Florida. Weissmueller married five times in his lifetime, and this was his first wedding. But it was only a brief time in an otherwise tragic marriage. Their relationship terminated after only two years. However, his fifth marriage, to Maria Gertrude Baumann, lasted until his death in 1984.

Jack Dempsey and Hannah Williams
Even boxers deserve a chance at love at some point in their lives, as does famed performer Jack Dempsey. Kid Blackie, as he was called in the ring, was married four times during his life. In this shot, he is seen with his third wife, Hannah Williams. She was also well-known for her work as a Broadway vocalist and her divorce from Roger Wolfe Kahn. The Manssa Mauler, as he was sometimes called, took his wedded bride sailing on their honeymoon. Despite having two children, the couple parted ways in 1943.

Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt
World leaders, like everyone else, deserve to have a good honeymoon. This is exactly what former President Franklin D. Roosevelt did after marrying Eleanor, his sixth cousin, in 1905. The pair is seen here enjoying their honeymoon in Italy. However, their marriage suffered as a result of FDR’s numerous indiscretions, the most notable of which was with Eleanor’s social secretary. While their romance failed, the pair remained together for political reasons. Eleanor chose to live apart from Franklin, even as his health deteriorated. The president was also in a romance with Lucy Mercer while still married to Eleanor.

Doris Duke and Porfirio Rubirosa
Doris Duke, formerly recognized as the world’s richest girl, discovered a new type of fortune when she married Porfirio Rubirosa in Paris in September 1947. They spent their honeymoon in the French capital, where this photograph was taken. Rubirosa had paid his ex-wife a large sum of money before marrying Duke. However, he would have to repeat the process a year later. Despite the showy displays of wealth and gifts, the couple split up in 1948, and Duke remained unmarried for the rest of her life.

Marie Curie and Pierre Curie
On their honeymoon, the famed chemists Pierre and Marie Curie are seen standing next to some bikes. As their scientific careers grew in Paris, the two began working together professionally. Although they were cautious to make things romantic, they soon fell in love with each other, and it was only a matter of time before Pierre proposed to Marrie. While Pierre earned his doctorate and Marie pursued her Ph.D., the couple married in 1895. Their strong love for science (and each other) lasted until Pierre’s death in 1906.

Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli
Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli had an extravagant honeymoon in 1945. Following their lavish wedding in Hollywood, the couple flew to New York City and enjoyed a romantic few weeks together. With Broadway concerts, luxury lodgings, exquisite cuisine, and plenty of sightseeing, it’s no surprise that this celebrity couple chose New York City as their destination. Judy was already a rising star, having risen to prominence with her roles in “The Wizard of Oz” and “Meet Me in St. Louis,” while Vincente was a well-known film director, having directed hits such as “Cabin in the Sky” and “Yolanda and the Thief.”

Rita Hayworth and Orson Welles
Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth sailed to Acapulco for their second honeymoon in 1946. The stars split briefly before deciding to celebrate their reunion in Mexico. Neither were strangers to popularity; Orson was known for his legendary “Citizen Kane” and “The Third Man,” and Rita was a glam icon because to her sensuous performance in “Gilda.” Above, we see the Hollywood couple board a flight to Mexico, where they spent their time lounging on Errol Flynn’s yacht and filming “Lady of Shanghai.” To be honest, there may not be a more legendary Hollywood couple on this list who went on a honeymoon together.

Joe Dassin and Christine Delvaux
Have you ever seen a more loving photograph than this one of Joe Dassin and his wife, Christine Delvaux, below? We doubt you did. To be honest, this photo seems like it came from “The Notebook” or one of the last 30 years’ love dramas. And yet, it was taken in the 1970s! In 1977, French singer-songwriter Joe Dassin and his wife Christine Delvaux decided to honeymoon on the lovely island of Martinique, a suitable decision for the pair who had been madly in love since they first met. Joe was known for his romantic ballads, and Christine was a stunning actress who appeared in a number of classic French films.

Colin Petersen and Joanne Newfield
Colin Petersen, the drummer for the Bee Gees, and Joanne Newfield, a Canadian businesswoman, married in 1968 and went on honeymoon eleven days later. The young couple married in the Bahamas and spent their honeymoon in Majorca, Spain. Clearly, these two loved the beach and wanted to take advantage of the beautiful weather on both sides of the Atlantic. The Australian-born musician and his wife wanted some peace and quiet for a few weeks, so they kept their honeymoon dates hidden from the media. And, guess what? Unlike so many other honeymooners on this list, this pair is still married to this day!
Colin Petersen And Joanne Newfield
Errol Flynn and Lili Damita
Errol Flynn was one of the true playboys of his time. So it’s understandable that the actor and Lili Damita enjoyed a whirlwind affair in 1936 before marrying. The famous actors are shown below about to take an aircraft to Los Angeles, where they spent their honeymoon. While Errol was a rising star, his career had not yet reached the pinnacle of popularity that it would eventually achieve. Lili, despite her French aristocratic upbringing, had decided to pursue a career in movies. Unfortunately, they had a very ugly divorce in 1942, as documented in Flynn’s memoirs many years later.

Ringo Starr and Maureen Cox
Ringo Starr, the legendary drummer from The Beatles, met hairdresser Maureen Cox at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, England, in the early 1960s. The young couple married in 1965 and spent an amazing honeymoon in Sussex. The stunning lovebirds are pictured below wandering hand in hand through a beautiful countryside garden. The house they stayed at on Princes Crescent in Sussex was a loan from a friend. It was located in Hove, Sussex, and featured spectacular beachfront views and jaw-dropping mountain panoramas – the ideal place to escape the frantic hounding of the press. In the end, the pair was married for ten years.

Debbie Reynolds and Richard Hamlett
Debbie Reynolds, an American actress, rose to recognition for her parts in “Singin’ in the Rain” and “The Unsinkable Molly Brown.” She married Richard Hamlett, a successful businessman and entrepreneur, for the third time in 1984, and the couple lasted 12 blissful years. Above, we see a very happy couple prepared to embark on a romantic cruise to the Caribbean for their honeymoon. Their wedding ceremony was intimate and tasteful, held at the home of a mutual acquaintance in Miami Beach. Wedding in Miami? Honeymoon in the Caribbean? That is a combined package that we can absolutely support.

Farrah Fawcett and Lee Majors
Back in the 1970s, the gorgeous “Charlie’s Angel” Farrah Fawcett and her husband, Lee Majors, were major celebrities. The young couple married in 1973, separated briefly, and then remarried in 1977. The attractive couple can be seen below at the Los Angeles airport, getting ready to fly to their second honeymoon destination. In a love tale right out of a movie, Lee’s publicist introduced Fawcett and Majors. They met for coffee and fell in love almost immediately; even though they divorced after nine years of marriage, they remained close friends.

Tamara Lees and Fulvio Tiberio Vergari
Tamara Lees was an Austrian-born English woman who graduated from Oxford University with a Mathematics degree, but her main interest was undoubtedly acting. Fulvio Tiberio Vergari, her first husband, worked as an Italian assistant production manager for a prominent film firm. They ended up marrying in 1953. The newlyweds pose for a photo before departing on their honeymoon in the Italian Riviera. The pair visited the stunning coastline of Liguria, Portofino, and dozens of other romantic places in Italy. We’re sure they had plenty of pizza and spaghetti along the way.

Yvonne De Carlo and Bob Morgan
Yvonne De Carlo was a famous actress, singer, and dancer from the 1940s and 1950s, best known for her performance as Lily in “The Munsters.” She met stuntman Bob Morgan in the early 1950s, and the two married in 1955 at a surprise ceremony in Reno, Nevada, where the photo below was taken. One thing was certain: De Carlo dressed more normally than she did in her previous roles. The actress and stuntman had a blissful marriage of nearly 20 years and two children. That’s not terrible for a Hollywood wedding.

Frances Dee and Joel McCrea
Frances Dee and Joel McCrea, both prominent actors in the 1930s, honeymooned on the beautiful beaches of Southern California in 1934. Dee was known for her parts in films like “I Walked With a Zombie” and “Little Women,” while McCrea was known for his performances in “Sullivan’s Travels” and “Foreign Correspondent.” The couple’s honeymoon was a romantic escape to California’s sun and dunes, as well as a much-needed break from Hollywood’s frantic pace. The photo above depicts the happy and blissful newlyweds in Santa Monica, California, after they eloped for their wedding. They also got to participate in some sports while they were out there.

Sean Connery and Diane Cilento
Regardless of how many actors have played the iconic James Bond over the years, no one has surpassed Scottish gentleman Sean Connery. Connery rose to prominence after his first Bond role in 1962’s “Dr. No,” but before becoming a global icon, he appeared in “Another Time, Another Place,” where he met actress Diane Cilento. The pair married in a private ceremony in Gibraltar in 1962, and then flew to the gorgeous Marbella for their honeymoon. They had a kid together, actor Jason Joseph, but it wasn’t a lasting relationship, and the two split up in 1973.

Elizabeth Taylor and Eddie Fisher
Elizabeth Taylor and Eddie Fisher had a whirlwind courtship that started in 1958 and ended with a spectacular wedding in 1959. The celebrity pair created quite a sensation when they ended Debbie Reynolds’ marriage to Eddie. Reynolds was also best friends with Elizabeth Taylor. There was undeniable drama in this little corner of Hollywood. However, this does not appear to have dampened the young couple’s delight as they walked through the streets of St. Tropez on their honeymoon. They spent three weeks cruising the Mediterranean on a friend’s yacht. Unfortunately, their marriage lasted just five years.

Jean-Pierre Aumont and Marisa Pavan
Jean-Pierre Aumont was a well-known French actor who rose to prominence through roles in films such as “Les Miserables” and “The Red Balloon.” In the early 1950s, he met the stunning Italian actress Marisa Pavan, and the rest is history. The couple eventually got married in 1956. The photo above shows the happy newlyweds sharing a private time together while on their honeymoon in Ischia, Italy. The pair remained together until 1963, then separated for six years before remarrying in 1969. They remained married until Aumont’s death in 2001, proving that second chances work.

Glynis Johns and David Foster
Famous British actress Glynis Johns is photographed in a UK airport with her new husband David Foster as they return after a lovely honeymoon in 1952. Johns became famous for her parts in films such as “Mary Poppins” and “The Court Jester.” Foster, on his part, was an outstanding American composer and arranger who collaborated with top-tier singers like as Barbra Streisand and Michael Jackson. Foster was her second husband, and sadly, their relationship lasted barely four years. However, based on this photo alone, it appears that the newlyweds were really excited to begin their marriage.

Lenny Henry and Dawn French
Lenny Henry and Dawn French, popular British comedians, married in 1984. At the time, both had established lucrative careers as rising British television stars. Lenny had already received praise for his work on BBC’s “The Fosters and Tiswas,” and Dawn was starting to establish a name for herself by writing for and acting on numerous comedy shows. Above, we see the joyful newlyweds returning from their wonderful honeymoon in 1984. French and Henry were together for 26 years and had one child together. These two went on to create some of Britain’s most memorable comedy moments.

Ann Miller and William Moss
Never has there been a more cheerful and joyful photograph than Ann Miller and William Moss enjoying at the Trevi Fountain in Rome during their honeymoon in 1959. The American actress and the wealthy oilman married in 1958 and traveled to Italy for a romantic holiday. Miller rose to prominence as a star of Hollywood musicals in the 1940s and 1950s, and despite the fact that her marriage to Moss lasted only three years, the newlyweds appeared to be content on their honeymoon! As you can see, the pair was flinging pennies behind their shoulders, making wishes for their holy marriage.

Josephine Baker and Jo Bouillon
Josephine Baker made history as the first African American woman to appear in a major motion picture in 1927. Baker was not only a talented actor, but also a stunning dancer. This American-born French performer married orchestra chief Jo Bouillon in 1937. Following their romantic wedding in a small French village, the young couple traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina, for their honeymoon. And, let’s face it, BA is essentially the Paris of South America, so they kept everything elegant. Above, the couple poses for the camera, with Baker smiling broadly as she dines with her husband at an Argentinian luxury hotel.

Tallulah Bankhead and John Emery
Tallulah Bankhead, an American actress, rose to stardom in the 1920s. Her colorful lifestyle and fascinating theatrical performances contributed significantly to her success. Bankhead went on to star in major Hollywood pictures, including Alfred Hitchcock’s “Lifeboat.” In 1937, the stunning young actress married Broadway actor and director John Emery at her father’s Alabama house. For their honeymoon, the young couple flew to the lovely seaside town of Norwalk, Connecticut. It may not be the most unique area in the world, but it is certainly gorgeous.

Princess Grace and Prince Rainier III
Grace Kelly, often regarded as one of Hollywood’s most attractive ladies, rose to prominence in the early 1950s with roles in films such as “Rear Window” and “High Noon”. The actress was the embodiment of beauty and grace, and her prominence was solidified when she married Prince Rainier III, making her a real royal. The pair married in Monaco in 1956 and embarked on a seven-week Mediterranean trip. Above, we see the couple dancing on their honeymoon in Majorca, Spain. Prince Rainier had always refused to dance with Kelly because she was taller than him, but it appears that thought disappeared soon.
Princess Grace And Prince Rainier III
Arlene Dahl and Fernando Lamas
They say that good things come to those who wait, and this was certainly true for Arlene Dahl and Fernando Lamas, two legendary classic Hollywood actors. This married couple had to wait two years after their wedding before enjoying their honeymoon. They flew to Rome to commemorate their union in 1956. Above, we find a happy couple enjoying the Roman sun near a lovely church. Because they had to wait two years to go on their honeymoon due to job obligations, they took a particularly long vacation around Italy. Good for them!
Arlene Dahl And Fernando Lamas
Elizabeth Taylor and Mike Todd
Elizabeth Taylor was famous for her beauty, talent, and extensive list of husbands. Her third husband was theatre producer Mike Todd, whom she married in 1957. The stunning actress is seen below wearing a traditional black bathing suit while on her honeymoon with Todd in Acapulco, Mexico. Despite the gorgeous wedding and romantic honeymoon to thrilling Mexico, the couple only lasted a year when Todd was tragically killed in an aircraft crash in 1958. Taylor did not spend much time as a bachelorette before marrying Eddie Fisher in 1959. In reality, she has been married eight times.
Elizabeth Taylor And Mike Todd
Tony Wright and Janet Munro
Both Tony Wright and Janet Munro were accomplished British performers. Wright appeared in several French films, while Munro starred in the 1950s and 1960s blockbusters “Darby O’Gill and the Little People” and “Life for Ruth”. The pair married in 1956 and left for the romantic city of Paris to begin their new lives as husband and wife. The delighted pair spent two weeks exploring the colorful city before returning home. Above, we see the star-crossed lovers reclining by the Seine River. It’s amazing to think how many couples have shared such special moments on this beautiful river since then. Unfortunately, their marriage lasted only three years.
Tony Wright And Janet Munro
Princess Ira Virginia Furstenberg and Prince Alfonso Hohenlohe-Langenburg
Prince Alfonso Hohenlohe-Langenburg, a wealthy Spanish businessman, was 31 years old when he married Princess Ira Virginia Furstenberg, just 15. Now, before we go any further, let us state the obvious: how can two newlyweds have such outrageously long names? Now that that’s out of the way, here are the newlyweds enjoying their honeymoon in Italy beside Lake Garda. The pair married in Venice and then moved to Mexico to start their lives together. They remained together for five years and had two children. Princess Ira, known for her stunning beauty, has also established herself as an actress, jewelry designer, and public relations manager for some of fashion’s most coveted companies.

Brigitte Bardot and Jacques Charrier
Brigitte Bardot and Jacques Charrier were both well-known in their own right: Bardot was an iconic actress in the 1950s, and Charrier was a renowned actor, producer, and artist. After marrying on June 18th, 1959, the gorgeous blonde and the handsome fella traveled to a little seaside village in France for their honeymoon. Above, we see the couple staring out from their balcony in the home where they spent many weeks on their romantic vacation. We believe the pair had no idea they were having their photo shot. There’s a high chance they were just staring out at the sunset when the videographer got lucky.
