Kim Delaney's Husband seems to have married her in recent years. Before she settled with the unknown man, the actress went through two marriages and a failed engagement.

Kim Delaney is well-known for her successful Hollywood career, but only a few people know she's been married several times. Despite not wanting to share too many details, in June 1984, Delaney revealed she was engaged to her fellow soap opera star, Charles Grant, also known professionally as Charles Flohe.

The celebrity revealed that their wedding would happen next month. The then-22-year-old celebrity held her fiancé's hand and snuggled close to him as she shared the news.

Years later, in 1997, Delaney confessed that marrying her first husband when she was "too young" was the most irrational thing she ever did. The Roxborough native revealed that her first marriage happened shortly after she relocated to New York.

In a separate interview, Grant said he met Delaney when he was still starring on "Edge of Night," sadly, their marriage didn't last long, and they soon divorced.

The "All My Children" actress and Grant didn't welcome any children during their union, but she had her first child in her second one.

Who Is Kim Delaney's Husband That She Married a Few Years Later?

In 1989, Delaney gave marriage another go when she married another actor, Joseph Michael Cortese. During their marriage, the couple welcomed one child, son Jack Cortese, who was born in 1990, before his parents' union concluded in divorce in 1994.

Although the "NYPD Blue" actress and her son's father went their separate ways, they maintained a close bond. In early February 2020, the former couple and their now-adult son posed for a picture while eating dinner together at Dear John's restaurant, as seen on Delaney's Instagram post.

A now older Delaney didn't shy away from showing off her son. For his birthday in March 2023, the celebrity shared an Instagram picture of them posing together, wished her "moon" and "star" a happy birthday, and declared her love to him. Before getting married for the third time, Delaney got engaged.

Who Did Delaney Get Engaged to but Never Married?

In April 1997, when Delaney's son was six, she got engaged to Alan Barnette. By 2002, she and the television producer lived together in Beverly Hills. The former couple remained engaged for years, but by July 2007, she was single again. Despite having gone through several relationships, Delaney never gave up on love.

The celebrity appeared to be wearing a white wedding dress, and the guy wore a black suit.
