Bonnie and Roy had met back in high school, and the pair married a couple of days before she turned 16. Roy wasn’t exactly a good guy and was known for his abusive behavior. Tired of the physical altercations, Bonnie packed up her things as soon as the relationship crumbled for good, although the pair never formally filed for divorce. Some people argue that Bonnie had a “thing” for robbers, as in 1929 Roy was arrested on robbery charges. He served a prison sentence of five years for the misdemeanor, and the two of them never laid eyes on each other ever again.

Clyde The Heartbreaker

When Bonnie met Clyde, she was only 19 and he was an escaped prison convict. It was like a love at first sight, and Bonnie was all too keen to escape the doldrums of her life for an adventure of a lifetime. What followed was more than she could have ever bargained for. While on the run together, the romance hit a new peak. A few weeks into the courtship, however, Clyde was arrested and he was back behind bars before the honeymoon period of their relationship was over.
