James Cameron’s personal and professional lives have been through a lot, especially when he competed against his ex-wife and renowned filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow. The two faced off in a good way at the 2010 Oscars with Cameron’s Avatar and Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker, resulting in the latter’s win.

Apart from being the visionary of the highest-grossing franchise, James Cameron struggled to find long-term stability, but his love life has evolved in the public eye.

Over the years, James Cameron has been married five times, ultimately finding his forever companionship in Suzy Amis (via Hello! Magazine). Here’s a list of all his relationships to date:

Sharon Williams (1978 – 1984): James Cameron married Williams in the late 1970s. This was before he became a major Hollywood name. The relationship mostly remained private and later ended as his career skyrocketed.

Gale Anne Hurd (1985-1989): He later married Hurd, a producer herself, who worked closely with him on films like The Terminator and Aliens. They seemed to be a power couple as their marriage blended personal and professional lives, but it eventually ended in divorce.

Kathryn Bigelow (1989-1991): Cameron’s third and highly talked-about marriage was to filmmaker Bigelow. This was deemed as one of Hollywood’s most creative partnerships. Although the two later competed at the Oscars, they regarded each other professionally.

Linda Hamilton (1997-1999): In 1997, Cameron married his Terminator star, shortly after the massive success of Titanic. Their marriage was short-lived and ended within two years. It was reportedly one of the most expensive divorces in Hollywood at the time.

Suzy Amis (2000-Present): He later found long-term stability with actress Suzy Amis, whom he met while filming Titanic. The couple married in 2000 and has remained together since. They have a family and share a strong focus on social causes.
