<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlthough Bo only shot to fame in 1979, she had already been in the acting business. At age 16, she was cast in \u201cFantasies,\u201d directed by John Derek, a man who would eventually become Bo\u2019s first husband. During a chat with Interview Magazine, the actress recalled how the interview for the movie role made her meet John.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Bo, she had gotten a call from her agent, explaining that she had an interview for a role in a few days. Next, she told her inquisitive mom, who was by her side, that the interview was with John Derek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Immediately, the actress\u2019s mom was excited and could not hold back her thoughts about how handsome the director was. A few days later, Bo would confirm her mother\u2019s words when she saw John for the first time. In the \u201cBolero\u201d star\u2019s words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd when I walked in and met him in the office, I thought, \u2018Oh, Mom was right. He is so handsome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, John told the actress about his desire to cast her in \u201cFantasies.\u201d However, Bo could only take on the role on the condition that she would leave school and travel to Greece for the filming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without hesitation, Bo accepted John\u2019s conditions. The actress\u2019s mother gave her blessings and tagged along with her daughter as a chaperone to the beautiful island of Mykonos in Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Surprisingly, Mykonos had other plans for Bo and John. Not only did they leave the island with a movie, but also a controversial love affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A LOVE AFFAIR IN A FOREIGN LAND<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Bo and John first met, the latter married Veteran Actress Linda Evans. The director was also 30 years Bo\u2019s senior, but the age gap and John\u2019s marital status did not stop the \u201c10\u201d star from falling in love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the chat with Interview Magazine, Bo explained that their romance blossomed in Mykonos, even though her mom was there, making it feel awkward and strange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the actress, she and John\u2019s love was incredible. Bo explained that John admired strong women, and she was one, even though she was very young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, while at Mykonos, the actress knew their love was not as one-sided as many may have thought. Their romance grew with each passing day, and after filming was over, the pair were ready to go public with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following the controversies surrounding Bo\u2019s 22-year first marriage, the actress never expected to find love again. John and Bo remained in Europe as they could not return to the US due to the statutory laws. According to the law, the duo\u2019s relationship was illegal because Bo was a minor, and John could face rape charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lovebirds were unwilling to take risks, so Bo dropped out of high school to remain with her man in Europe. There, they had a lot of adventures together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bo was even privileged to meet Ursula Andress, John\u2019s second wife, and close friend, in Switzerland. After touring Europe for a while, the couple\u2019s stay ended when Bo turned 18. Then, they returned to California and eventually tied the knot in 1976.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Bo and John seemed to be in a happy place, not everyone was in support of their romance. The actress revealed that her parents were quite upset with her decision. Nevertheless, Bo still stayed with John until his demise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, many believed that they were meant for each other. However, the actress thought otherwise, realizing that marrying John was wrong, even though they were happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many years after John passed away, Bo still lives with the guilt of ruining Evans\u2019 marriage. During a 2016 interview with Interview Magazine, the Hollywood star revealed that stealing someone\u2019s husband was the worst thing to do, and she hated herself for it. Bo confessed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI remember I was doing an interview with Oprah, and she asked about it. I said, \u2018No, I don\u2019t forgive myself for that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The actress\u2019s act made her feel even more guilty, especially as Evans, who Bo worshipped and adored, was kind to her. Due to the guilt, Bo said she always felt like shit whenever she and Evans crossed paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, Evans surprisingly revealed that her divorce from John helped her greatly. At first, it was the hardest and one of the most devastating experiences she had been through. But later, it became a silver lining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Had she not divorced John, who did not want her to work, Evans revealed that she would not have appeared in \u201cDynasty\u201d and known all the magic that followed the show. Meanwhile, although Bo is trying to move on, she will forever live with the guilt of breaking up a beautiful marriage. In her words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI might move on and make sure I don\u2019t make the same mistakes again, but you have to move on. But I look back at that time in my life as a terrible mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following the controversies surrounding Bo\u2019s 22-year first marriage, the actress never expected to find love again. However, things do not always go the way people expect. Now, Bo is happily married to American Actor John Corbett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The couple started dating in 2002 but had no intentions of getting married. Bo noted that when they met, it was just \u201cattraction and comfort.\u201d But with time, they started to get a little more settled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He made Bo laugh all the time, and her feelings for him grew as the years progressed. The couple dated for 20 years before announcing they finally got married in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indeed, Bo is happy even though she has no kids, which is a decision she made. According to the actress, she could have had kids at the time, but her life was unconventional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bo believed that children deserved a chance to have two parents that are committed. Nevertheless, the Hollywood star is not less of a woman. She continues to inspire a lot of women around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, Bo Derek is happily married but once ruined the marriage of an actress she adored by stealing her husband.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2680,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-house-designs"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/dailygreenhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-709-1024x717.png\")

Unfortunately, John\u2019s marriage to Evans paid the price for their love to continue. The former couple divorced, allowing the director and Bo to focus on their relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/dailygreenhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-711-1024x696.png\")
