How Many Times Has Kelly McGillis Been Married?

Kelly McGillis has been in three high-profile marital relationships since she made it to the limelight as an actress. Kelly was born and raised in the southern California suburb of Newport Beach where she received her elementary and high school education. She later moved to New York City where she studied acting at Juilliard School and graduated in 1983. Here’s everything to know about her past relationships as well as her current sexual orientation.

Kelly’s First Marriage Was to Boyd Black

During her days at Juilliard School studying acting, Kelly Mcgillis met Boyd Black. Boyd was her fellow student at Julliard and they fell in love not long after they met. They started dating in 1978 and on the following year, precisely on 14th April 1979, they tied the nuptial knot in a wedding ceremony. From the start, their marriage seemed to be a perfect one but eventually ended in divorce.

The couple officially got divorced and went their separate ways in 1981. Since then, neither Boyd nor Kelly has openly talked about what actually led to the end of their marriage. Their union did not produce any children. Following their divorce, Boyd Black kept a very low profile about his love life while Kelly, who has a good part of her life in the limelight, went back to the dating world.

Kelly Mcgillis Remarried in 1989 To Fred Tillman

On 15th January 1989, eight years after the end of her first marriage, Kelly Mcgillis got married to Fred Tillman. Fred is a yacht salesman from the United States of America. There is no information about where the two met but records have it that they met in 1988. Having gotten some experience in her first marriage, Kelly seemed to be more committed in her second marriage.

She accomplished a lot with Fred as they were jointly running a business in Key West, Florida where they resided. The husband and wife founded a restaurant business called Kelly’s Caribbean Bar and Grill. Together they also purchased a 110-foot schooner worth $1.5 million though it was later destroyed by fire in 1996.

Unfortunately, the marriage still ended in divorce just after the arrival of their second daughter. Kelly Mcgillis and Fred Tillman divorced in 2002 after Fred was allegedly arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover police officer who is a prostitute in disguise. They were married for twelve years and eleven months and their marriage produced two daughters.

Their first daughter named Kelsey Tillman was born on 24th May 1990 and is currently 33 years old. On 10th April 1993, they welcomed their second daughter, Sonora Tillman. She is 30 at the moment. While there is no available information about Kelsey, Sonora is taking in the footsteps of her mother as an actress and has appeared in a good number of films.

Moreso, Sonora is married to Jordan Garcia and they share two kids, making Kelly a grandmother. Meanwhile, Kelly Mcgillis was at the time of the divorce denied custody of her children given her addiction to alcohol and drugs.

Melanie Leis Became Kelly’s Third Husband

Following her divorce from Tillman, Kelly Mcgillis moved on with both her professional and romantic life. Also, the fact that she had been through two marriages and divorce made her a strong woman who was able to pick herself up and move on. Kelly met Melanie Leis in 2000 in Kelly’s Caribbean Bar and Grill, the restaurant she opened with her ex-husband, Tillman, in Florida.

During that time, Melanie worked as a bartender in the restaurant. They began talking and in a short time, Kelly started growing affection for her. Melanie, on her own side, was impressed by Kelly’s good sense of humor and both of them fell in love with each other. They got more close, attended events together, and as well, engaged in drug and alcohol abuse. Melanie would later propose to Kelly and she said yes.

The duo got married on 15th September 2010 under a civil union in New Jersey and later moved to Mohnton Pa Pennsylvania. The wedding ceremony was a private one, attended by only 11 of their friends, including Kelly’s ex-husband, Fred Tillman. The ex-lovers seemed to have a perfect union at the beginning even though their friends and families were not in support of the union.

However, their relationship hit the rocks in 2011, just a year after their wedding. Both of them saw that the union was no longer working out and decided to go their separate ways. They didn’t reveal the actual reason for their separation. Since then, it remains unclear what the actress’s love life looks like.

Is Kelly Mcgillis Lesbian?

Kelly Mcgillis had come out publicly in 2009 to declare that she is lesbian. She made this known in an interview she granted with SheWeird.com. In the interview, the actress expressed that she had long wanted to be honest about her sexual orientation because she had been getting attracted to women since the age of 12 and throughout her high school days.

But she was not able to embrace it because she thought that God would punish her for being lesbian. However, she has now summoned up the courage to let the world know about it. She has since then stuck to her sexual orientation as lesbian and does not talk about changing.

Where is Kelly Mcgillis now?

Since the crash of her third marriage with Leis, Kelly Mcgillis has been keeping away from the spotlight, especially in regard to her love and relationship life. She might be single at the moment as there is no dating or marriage news about her. The actress seems to be entirely focused on her career as an actress and performing arts teacher.
