Did Betty Jo And Steve Get Married In Real Life? The Truth Behind The Romance

Okay, let’s dive into the world of “Green Acres” and see if Betty Jo and Steve tied the knot in real life.

In the show, Steve and Betty Jo, played by Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor, were a beloved couple, and their on-screen wedding was a heartwarming moment for fans. But, did their real-life counterparts, Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor, actually get married? The answer is no.

While Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor had wonderful chemistry on screen, they were never romantically involved in real life. Eddie Albert was married to Marguerite “Maggie” Geraldine Little from 1945 until his death in 2005. Eva Gabor was married three times: to Dr. Freddie Fels (1943-1949), Richard Carlson (1953-1966), and Frank Fenton (1973-1975).

Now, you might be wondering about the bit about “they married in September 1968, only to divorce five years later.” That’s actually about Tom Bosley, who played the role of “Tom” on “Green Acres”, and Betty Jo’s real-life daughter, Barbara Henning. Tom Bosley and Barbara Henning did, in fact, marry in 1968 and were divorced in 1973.

So, while “Green Acres” fans might have wished for a real-life romance between Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor, their love story was strictly confined to the world of television.
