Glenn Close Spouse: Was Glenn Close Ever Married?

American actress, Glenn Close, has been married three times, with each marriage ending in divorce.

Her first marriage—at age 22—which Close has described as “kind of an arranged marriage”—ended before she attended college. This marriage (from 1969 to 1971) was to Cabot Wade, a guitarist and songwriter with whom she had performed during her time at Up with People.

She was married to businessman James Marlas from 1984 to 1987. Later, Close began a relationship with producer John Starke, whom she had met on the set of The World According to Garp.

Their daughter, Annie Starke, was born in 1988 and is an actress. Close and Starke separated in 1991. In 1995, Close was engaged to carpenter Steve Beers, who had worked on Sunset Boulevard; the two never married, and their relationship ended in 1999.

In February 2006, Close married executive and venture capitalist David Evans Shaw in Maine, but they divorced in August 2015.
