Val Kilmer had a whirlwind dating history that included some of Hollywood’s most beautiful and famous women, but surprisingly remained single for 20 years. The late actor revealed this in his 2020 memoir “I’m Your Huckleberry,” where he wrote about his relationships with Cher, Carly Simon, Ellen Barkin, Joanne Whalley, Cindy Crawford, Daryl Hannah, and Angelina Jolie.
Kilmer’s most notable relationship was with actress Cher, whom he dated in the early 1980s. Cher shared a heartfelt tribute to Kilmer on social media after his passing, calling him “brave,” “funny,” “brilliant,” a “great friend” and a “pain in the a–.” The two had a unique nickname for each other – “Valus” for Cher and “Cherus Reprimandus” for Kilmer.
Kilmer also dated singer Carly Simon, who he met at a party for the premiere of “Top Gun” in 1986. He fell deeply in love with her but ultimately broke up due to her feeling overwhelmed by his intense emotions.
The actor’s relationship with actress Ellen Barkin was marked as “one of the enchantresses who got away.” After their breakup, Kilmer joked about Neil Young, whom he dated, saying “I always loved you, but I’m afraid I hate you now.”
Kilmer also had a romance with Cindy Crawford in 1995, which helped him recover from his divorce. He wrote in his memoir that he would die of happiness if she were to leave him.
Before his passing, Kilmer dated Angelina Jolie while they played the parents of Alexander the Great in “Alexander” in 2004. The actor reflected on their relationship, describing her as “more gorgeous, more wise, more tragic, more magic.”
Val Kilmer passed away on Tuesday due to pneumonia, leaving behind a legacy of his iconic performances and captivating love life.
