| Harrison Ford (Affair) | During the filming of Star Wars, Fisher had an ongoing affair with her co-star Harrison Ford, beginning in 1976. Like many celebrity couples, the pair became infatuated with each other while working on the film. At that time Ford was still married to Mary Marquardt, with whom he had two children. He and his wife divorced in 1979. |
| Paul Simon (Dated) | Fisher dated Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel, from 1977 until 1980. After their breakup, they got back together and were married from August 1983 to July 1984. They divorced after a year of marriage, but began dating again afterwards. Simon’s song “Hearts and Bones” is about his relationship with Fisher. |
| Dan Aykroyd (Engaged) | Canadian-American actor, producer, screenwriter, musician and actor Dan Aykroyd proposed to Fisher while they were on the set of The Blues Brothers (1980). This was during the time when her and Simon were on a break. Fisher accepted the request and they had a brief engagement, until she reconciled with Simon. |
| Bryan Lourd (Dated, with Child) | After things were over for good between her and Simon, she began a relationship with Creative Artists Agency principal and talent agent, Bryan Lourd. They had one child together, Billie Catherine Lourd (born in 1992). Their relationship ended when Lourd left Fisher to begin a relationship with a man. Although Fisher and Lourd were never married, she often referred to him as her second husband in interviews. |
| James Blunt (Rumors) | Rumors surfaced around 2003 of Fisher having a relationship with musician, James Blunt. While he was working on his Back to Bedlam album, he spent a lot of time at Fisher’s residence. When asked by Vanity Fair if the duo were in a sexual relationship she replied, “Absolutely not, but I did become his therapist. This boy has seen awful stuff. You know, he comes from a long line of soldiers dating back to the 10th century. He was a captain, a reconnaissance soldier. I became James’ therapist. So it would have been unethical to sleep with my patient.” |
