In the showbiz world, it’s usually pretty complex to find your one true love. However, it’s still always possible to have one, just like how the love story of David McCallum and Katherine Carpenter came into existence. The duo met way back in 1965 during a photoshoot in New York. At that time, 21-year old Carpenter was a model and an actress and unexpectedly worked together with her husband David, who was eleven years older than her wife. A few moments later, they became romantically involved.

Their relationship has been shared openly with the public. The couple since then had become attached and have been together everywhere. Given this, the duo’s romantic connection became subject to different commentaries, considering McCallum was still legally married to renowned actress Jill Ireland, with whom he shared three children. However, after Jill’s numerous counts of rumored affairs with another Holywood personality, the former couple decided to file a divorce to formalize their separation.

Despite the issues they were subjected to, McCallum and his wife Carpenter continued their relationship and became even stronger. When David’s marriage to Jill finally came to a close, he decided to ask Katherine’s hand for marriage on July 04, 1967. And without a single doubt, she gave her sweetest yes for an answer. Two months later, the couple walked down the aisle and exchanged their marriage vows on September 16, 1967.

Their communion became even more blessed as they welcomed their two children named Peter and Sophie into the world. During an interview with David McCallum, he was asked about how his life is so far, to which he proudly said,

“The best moment of my life is right now.”

Evident through his words, the couple’s relationship has been more robust over the years. True enough, McCallum and his spouse are the living proof who can testify that love is meant to be firm by time. Currently, the duo is now lovingly enjoying their 54th year of marriage. Indeed, the entire universe conspired to help them find each other’s hearts.

His first wife, Jill Ireland.

Before McCallum’s love story with Katherine Carpenter came into life, he was first married to another renowned star, Jill Ireland. They met in the year 1957 during the set of “Hell Drivers.” Throughout their dating stage, they decided to take a step forward. The duo was married in the same year -1957- and had a small ceremony that their families and small friends attended. And similar to a happy ending love story, they, too, shared three children. For 11 years of being together, their relationship has been on a roller-coaster journey.

Years passed, their seem-like ideal romance turned out too different from expectation. Throughout the couple’s married life, they have been tested with time and how strong they can be together. However, a few moments later, it was reported that Jill was secretly visiting another famed actor, Charles Bronson. For David, it was indeed a heartbreaking moment. Given these unfortunate events, their marriage ended in divorce.

According to some celebrity news outlets, Jill was already in love with Bronson before marrying David. But what’s more interesting is David knew everything. As the years go by, this issue no longer concerns them as both are now happy together with their new partners.
