Jaclyn Smith has been married four times, and the long marriage that still defines her personal life is the one that began in 1997 with Brad Allen. That answer is now what readers are searching for, alongside the basic question of how old is Jaclyn Smith, because her relationship history has been laid out in a way that puts the timeline front and center.
Smith, who starred as Kelly Garrett on Charlie’s Angels from 1976 to 1981, was the only Angel featured in all five seasons of the show. That longevity on-screen helped make her a familiar name, but the facts around her off-screen life are drawing attention too: she was married to Roger Davis, Dennis Cole, Tony Richmond and Allen, and she has now been with Allen for nearly three decades.
Her first marriage began in 1968, after she met Davis while working as a model in New York City. He proposed after only two dates, and Smith later said, “I was such an innocent,” adding that she was too much living for him and lost sight of herself. In 2026, she said she discovered Davis had been cheating on her with their real estate agent, and she recalled finding him with another woman on their fourth wedding anniversary. The marriage ended after that, with Smith saying she wanted people around her to tell her to leave, but instead kept hearing, “Why do you stay?”
Smith’s second marriage came in November 1978, when she and Cole wed in New York City with only 25 guests. They booked decoy hotel reservations across New York City and held their reception under fake names at Central Park’s Tavern on the Green, a detail that fit the controlled, old-fashioned image of the day. But the marriage did not last long. They divorced in 1981, and Smith said that competition between the two actors had played a role in the strain. “I tried with all my heart, but you can only try so much,” she said that year, adding, “I’m a dreamer, but you have to live in this world.”
The part that makes the current interest sharper is the contrast. Smith has spoken candidly about breakups that left her feeling naive, yet her marriage to Allen has lasted since 1997 and now stands as the durable part of the record. The gap is not what happened in the past, but what has kept this marriage intact for so long. Smith has not said what, if anything, changed in that private equation; for now, the answer is simply the one history gives her: four marriages, and one that has held for nearly three decades.
