4. She Was Married A Total Of Seven Times

Hutton had a favorite saying that money did not buy happiness. If you look at Hutton’s seven marriages, you might believe her. On the outside, Hutton looked like she had it all. However, on the inside, her life was filled with psychological problems and abuse. She first got married in 1933 to Alexis Mdivani, who claimed to be a prince from Georgia. Hutton was practically forced to marry Alexis because his brother threatened Hutton with negative publicity if she refused. After Alexis spent the $1 million dowry and more millions of Hutton’s inheritance, the couple divorced in 1935.

Kurt Haugwitz-Reventlow was Hutton’s second husband and father of her only child, Lance. They married in 1935 and Kurt quickly dominated the relationship through his physical abuse, which eventually sent Hutton to the hospital. The two divorced in 1938. In 1942, Hutton married actor Cary Grant. The two genuinely seemed to care for each other, but due to Hutton’s psychological issues, they divorced three years later. In 1948, Hutton married Igor Troubetzkoy in Switzerland. However, in 1951, he filed for divorce.

Hutton’s fifth marriage was to Porfiri “Rubi” Rubirosa. This marriage only lasted for about 53 days, from December 30, 1953, to February 20, 1954. In 1955, Hutton married friend and German tennis player, Baron Gottfried Von Cramm. The two would end up divorcing about four years later, in 1959. Finally, Hutton married Pierre Raymond Doan in 1964. However, in 1966, the couple would divorce. This last union would be Hutton’s seventh and final marriage (and divorce). However, this does not mean Hutton did not have relationships after.
