Stevie's Boyfriends
 

Not sure if someone has already posted a thread like this, but i searched and searched and couldn't find one so I've decided to start a new thread on all of Stevie's boyfriends. I know quite a few but I'm sure theres people on here that know more than little old me. I'll post below the ones I know of, it would be great if you guys could help me out! Besides that have fun, do whatever. Share pictures, thoughts interviews, I'd love to see what you guys have to share ;)

Lindsey
Jimmy
Don
Joe (Walsh)
Rupert
Mick
(Is it official she dated Tom Petty?)
Dave (Young)
Dave (Stewart)
Kim Anderson (married)
(Did she date Waddy?)
(Theres a thread somewhere on here that claims she dated someone half her age during The Dance...?)

Well, this will probably end up being more like a list of.. partners.. than it is a list of boyfriends. I don't believe Stevie ever dated Dave Stewart, for instance...

Here's a few off the top of my head that you didn't mention:

Walter Egan
Paul Fishkin
J.D. Souther
Dallas Taylor

I don't think we can count Waddy or Tom as having been her love interests, because although it's definitely possible, there's no real evidence of anything at all and none of them have ever mentioned it. It's just pure speculation.

yeah, very true. I don't think they did either, but I know a few who do..
I could also have put John, but theres no proof plus they never officially dated. Theres just rumours that they enjoyed time with each other :rolleyes:

I think people think Waddy because of what Stevie said about If Anything Falls.

Michele

one of the recording engineers during Rumours, per Ken Caillat. He may mention the guy's name, I just can't recall.

Les Dudek.

Actually, there have been many lists like this. Probaby diagrams. Graphs, with inverse directional slopes.

Michele

Prince. Though more rumour than substantiated. He was certainly interested, but she says they were just friends.;)

ETA also rumours about Warren Zevon.

Didn't Brett Michael's allude to something while they were recording together? Or am I imagining things (again)?

Never heard rumours about Ken... Are you talking about Richard? (Dashut)
...very possibly him

I think they meant that Ken said that Stevie was involved with one of the recording engineers in the studio, not that she was involved with Ken.

Oh, i see. :sorry:
maybe Cris? He's the only other person I could think of.
And didn't Carol mention in her book that Stevie also had a a affair with Curry??

She had a thing going with Sara Fleetwood's first husband during the Rumours tour. I forget his name. Is it Jim?

Yes, Jim Recor cheated on Sara with Stevie in 1976.
What about governor Jerry Brown, was there any thruth to those rumours?

OMG

Sara secretly slept with Mick while he was secretly dating Stevie in 1978? Must secret Love secretly die?

Yeah I heard about that Jerry guy before... I don't personally believe it. Doesn't seem legit. I don't much about him though, so maybe I should look into that

Jerry dated Linda Rondstadt for some time in the 70s and was very in with the California rock n roll crowd.... Jackson Browne, the Eagles, etc.

So, Sara forgave Stevie for sleeping with her husband but Stevie was devastated when Sara slept with Mick and because she was so crushed the band (Stevie) banned Sara from coming to the studio while recording Tusk.... how different the world looks when the shoe is on the other foot, no?

What about the guys in the Heartbreakers? I've always wondered about Mike Campbell or Benmont Tench tho I've never really heard any rumours.

What about that cook at the Waffle House on interstate 90 and that janitor at Frische's Big Boy? There were rumours that she picked up some carni worker from the Ohio State Fair...

[QUOTE=bombaysaffires;1084420]Prince. Though more rumour than substantiated. He was certainly interested, but she says they were just friends.;)

Yes, she said she wrote Thousand Days "about my non-relationship with Prince."

and their brothers....

Derek Taylor

never even heard of him? :shrug:

:lol: that "jerry guy" is the current governor of california!

I'm Canadian, so I don't need to know this :P :thumbsup:

Neither have I, until today. He was apparently the road manager for the Beatles, and is who inspired Beautiful Child. Stevie said they had a relationship but that it didn't last because he was married (I'm noticing a trend here..)

So the affair with Derek Taylor would've been in 1978, I guess? In the 70's he was Vice-President of Marketing for Warner Bros, at that point he was already married for 20 years. He was 16 years older than Stevie.

Let's see.
Definites:
Dave Young
Lindsey
Don Henley
Jim Recor
Hernan Rojas
Paul Fishkin
Mick
Derek Taylor
JD Souther
Jimmy Iovine
Dave Stewart
Kim Anderson
Joe Walsh
Rupert Hine
Dallas Taylor

Men i've heard about but heard no proof yet / aren't sure:
Curry Grant
Jerry Brown
Les Dudek
Danny Goldberg
Waddy Wachtel
Glen Parrish
Stan Lynch
Dennis Wilson
Brad Jeffries
Walter Egan (Was this ever substantiated? I know he had a thing for her but idk if she had feelings back.)
Norm Van Lier (Weirdest one i've heard yet, but many people have told me she was definitely hooking up with him back in the day)


Then there was the ex boyfriend she dated again in the early 2000's, and the guy half her age during The Dance.
Missing anyone?

I believe the Walter thing was confirmed. Although I think they only went on a few dates and it wasn't anything serious. If I recall, he said she kept saying he reminded her of Lindsey or something. :lol:

I thought Les Dudek was confirmed too?
And Brad Jeffries is gay.

Walter said himself that they had a thing going on in a Penguin Q&A here.

"You may or may not know that for a short time at the end of 1976 Stevie and I were, how you say....together, and the story of "Magnet & Steel" is somewhat contained therein."

Also,I read somewhere that supposedly Dave and Stevie didn't have a fling, he just passed out during a party in her house -on a bed drunk/high- and woke up later to see Stevie trying on clothes. Or was it confirmed that they dated?

I remember when I was kid (mid 80's), my mom got the 45 of Smuggler's Blues.When I asked her who Glenn Frey was, she told me about him being in the Eagles and stuff. And then she mentioned that she read in a magazine that Glenn and Stevie dated.
Whether this is true or not, I don't know.It might have just been a rumor.

Imagine if Stevie had had Mick's, Lindsey's and Don's babies, plus whomever else she was rumored to be knocked up by. Could you imagine them forming a Band like say... Wilson Philips or maybe Hanson back in the late 90's when they would have been teenagers? HOW amazing and talented they would have been to have Stevie as a Mom and any one of those men as Dads. Of course, being raised famous they would have shortly spiraled out of control and turned into Drug heads and ended up dating Lindsey Lohan and possibly OD'ed on some substance and then wound up on Celebrity Rehab before finally dying in fiery wreck driving off a cliff in California. But Stevie would have tons more to write sad songs about!

That's hilarious! :thumbsup:

From this list Walter Eagan & Les Dudek have definietley been confirmed, though Stevie's affair with Walter was more fleeting. I recall a story about Stan Lynch kinda being a one night stand (someone may recall the story where they slinked away to a hotel.) Dave Stewart was again more of a fleeting "once night stand" situation then romantic relationship. Jerry Brown is a rumor, though I swear a rock rag in the early 80's referenced Stevie had a relationship with the former governor, but I always thought that could've easily been confused w Ronstadt. Stevie's never mentioned Jerry directly.
As far as missing anyone I believe between 76' - 89'-ish Stevie fell in love at the drop of a hat, and had various fleeting "romances" & daliances with bodyguards, crew, music men, plus the infamous waiter in the 90's!;) I think it's safe to say we will never have a full list:shrug:

Last weekend when Stevie dropped the inspiration behind "Beautiful Child" during L.A.'s Q&A as being about her relationship with "Derek Taylor" is a great example of WTF?!? Who knew?? Derek was probably Stevie's initial connection to George Harrison, making a full-circle link to that picture of Stevie in pigtails with Harrison around the time Stevie was dating Derek?!? Also the lyric "You fell in love when I was only ten, years disappear, much has gone by much then" makes more sense, knowing that Derek was @15-16 yrs older than Stevie. Derek died in 97' at the age of 65.
Freaky thing was I was just thinking about that very song and wondering who it was about just last week. :laugh: Stevie needs to write that book.:nod:

They didn't date. They just had relations. Although, the story has been told a few different ways.

Oh GOD that would be aweosme!:]

Well, Mick was George's brother in law for a while (he was married to Jenny Boyd and George was married to Patty Boyd). Plus wasn't Chris chummy with Eric Clapton? There's several ways that she could have gotten connected with that crowd.

I always thought Beautiful Child was another song about Lindsey.. :shrug: It never really made sense to how it could be about him but Stevie and her metaphorical lyrics :p Guess I haven't been keeping up with my Stevie studies. I don't recognize a few of the names. Had no idea it was official she was with Walter for some time.

I have always wandered about Stevie and Chris Issak. They seemed pretty close there for awhile. Could he be the one that is 20 years younger than her? I know he prefers Asian women but hey she's Stevie Nicks!!!

we will never know the full list.... Stevie herself has said she gets "terribly lonely" on the road and has admitted finding comfort in the arms of many many men -- however briefly-- while on the road. Our girl is not afraid of a one-night stand.

But also, realize she is almost 65 years old. So we are looking at relationships over the last 45 years or so.......and when you figure there are 365 nights per year, times 45 years..... that's a lotta lonely nights to fill! :thumbsup:

Edited to add: I guess I wouldn't be shocked at this point if she'd had an affair with Glen Frey, but I am skeptical. She's never really had anything positive to say about him; in her stories of dating Don she's always said how dismissive and condescending Frey was of her, never giving her any credit for having a career of her own and success of her own but rather always talking to her and treating her like some hanger-on of Don's, not much more than a groupie. She's never seemed especially fond of him.
