In 1981, when actor Burt Reynolds met Loni Anderson, little did he know they would go on to become one of Hollywood's most revered power couples of the '80s. "Whether this relationship will go any further than it has right now, I have no idea," Burt told People in 1982. "Loni and I are both trying very hard to get acquainted and to like each other without too many explosions and broadsides from the press." Six years later, the two were married in an intimate Florida ceremony. "I feel like Cinderella. I married Prince Charming," she gushed to People at the time. The fairy tale, however, did not last long.
Five years after saying "I do," Reynolds filed for divorce from Anderson claiming in court documents, per UPI, that their union was irretrievably broken. "The decision to divorce was amicable and we're still friends. We felt it was the best thing to do at this time," Anderson later said in a statement, as reported by The Palm Beach Post. But in true Hollywood fashion, this divorce was anything but amicable.
Following their divorce, Reynolds and Anderson were locked in a contentious custody battle over their adopted son, Quinton. While Reynolds described Anderson as an unemployed star suffering from low self-esteem, the "Deadly Family Secrets" star alleged, according to the Los Angeles Times, that she was physically abused during their marriage. While both stars eventually sorted out their issues, Anderson has maintained a low profile in the years since, begging the big question — where is Loni Anderson now?
