Carrie Fisher married Paul Simon, a musician she met while filming Star Wars and dated for more than 6 years from 1977 to 1983. In the interim, she was briefly engaged to Dan Aykroyd, a Canadian actor and comedian who proposed to her when they were filming “The Blues Brothers” in 1980.
They later reunited and married in August 1983, but their marriage only lasted until July 1884. She even made an appearance in Simon’s music videos for numerous of his tracks. She then began a relationship with Bryan Lourd, the principal and talent agency of Creative Artists Agency, with whom she shares their only child, Billie Lourd (b. 1992). They split up after Lourd abandoned her for another man.
She was also linked to James Blunt, an English singer-songwriter, but the two never had a romantic relationship. R. Gregory “Greg” Stevens, a 42-year-old lobbyist, was found dead in Fisher’s California house in 2005, prompting her to claim that his ghost haunted her home and that she returned to using narcotics.
Fisher was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and struggled with cocaine and prescription medicine addictions, which she treated with ECT.
