According to Spero Pastos' book on Betty Grable, and he got this info direct from Bettys own daughter, who said that after Bettys' marriage to Harry James ended, Betty Grable would pick up lots of guys, often much younger ordinary guys, not celebs, and just go with them casually, Betty would bring these guys home, then after a very quick introduction she would disappear up into the bedroom with them. As these were not 'relationships' as such so I don't know if they would count on here. Later on towards the end of her life Betty found stability and happiness again with Bob Remick who seems to have been a very positive force for good in Bettys' life.

You left out my grandfather Robert Gottschall. Known in Hollywood as Robert Shaw (https://www.famousfix.com/topic/robert-shaw-actor), he was an actor with Twentieth Century Fox in the late 30s and 40s and dated Betty Gable, Sonja Henie, Linda Darnell, and Judy Garland. His most notable role was starring in the Robin Hood-esque serial Son of the Guardsman. We have pictures of the two together and a letter she wrote to him many years after they were both out of the limelight. You can find his IMDB entry here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0332058/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1
