Ringo Starr's Dramatic Relationship History: Meet His Ex-Girlfriends and Wives

Do you ever sit around and wonder who Ringo Starr dated? Me neither, but that's about to change due to Ringo's life being the subject of an entire Beatles biopic starring Barry Keoghan—along with three other films focused on the lives of John Lennon, George Harrison, and Paul McCartney. Obviously, these films are going to be full of famous people playing famous people, so the time has come to fan-cast. But first? A comprehensive list of everyone Ringo dated/married—from Maureen Cox to Barbara Bach.

Maureen Cox: 1962 to 1975

Ringo and Maureen met in the early days of The Beatles, and went on to get married a few years later in 1965. They had three kids, but split in 1975 amid a lot of drama—including infidelities on both sides (for her part, Maureen was allegedly caught having an affair with...George Harrison).

Maureen hasn't given many interviews about her time with Ringo, but did once say "Richy isn’t assertive at all. He’s pretty laid-back and gentle—some people could call him a pushover. He has this inferiority complex about him. I don’t know how to describe it. He just wants me to constantly reassure him that I love him because he gets afraid. We would be lying in bed and he would hold me close to him and say, 'Do you really love me?' I would have to constantly reassure him that I did love him, that I did care for him; and I think he was really pleased to hear me say that to him. He was so afraid that I might not love him."

Vicki Hodge: circa the early 60s

Ringo seems to have had a brief fling with Vicki at some point—at least according to the Daily Mail, who mentioned her in an article claiming her "past lovers have included Ringo Starr, actor Elliott Gould and the late, notorious—and well-endowed—TV hardman John Bindon."

Nancy Lee Andrews: ~1974 to 1980

Ringo and Nancy were pretty serious—they even got engaged after Ringo's divorce!—but eventually split. In part because Ringo fell for someone else. As Nancy told DayTrippin, "I thought he would come home to me but he fell hard for Barbara Bach. I put my focus on photography."

Shelley Duvall: 1978

Correct: Ringo was linked to Shelley Duvall—though, there isn't much known about their alleged relationship (or if he and Nancy were on a break?). But here they are strolling through the airport:

Barbara Bach: 1980 to Now

Ringo and Barbara connected on set of the film Caveman after meeting at LAX, hit it off, and then got married in 1981.

Annnnnd they're still married to this day! Back in 2015, Ringo told People “I think I love Barbara as much [today] as I did at LAX — and I’m beyond blessed that she loves me and we’re still together."

Cuuuute.
