Of all her husbands, who loved Marilyn Monroe the most? Determining who loved Marilyn Monroe the most among her three husbands—James Dougherty, Joe DiMaggio, and Arthur Miller—is subjective and challenging. Each relationship had its unique dynamics and expressions of love. Here’s a brief overview:

James Dougherty:

Monroe’s first husband, whom she married at 16, provided stability and a way out of her difficult foster care situation. Their marriage was more about companionship and security than passionate love, and it ended as she pursued her career in Hollywood.

Joe DiMaggio:

Monroe’s second husband, the famous baseball player, is often seen as having had a deep, enduring love for her. Despite their tumultuous marriage, which lasted only nine months, DiMaggio continued to care for Monroe even after their divorce. He was profoundly affected by her death and arranged her funeral, sending roses to her grave for 20 years.

Arthur Miller:

Monroe’s third husband, the playwright, had a more intellectual and emotional connection with her. Their relationship was intense and passionate, but it also faced many challenges due to Monroe’s personal struggles and Miller’s career pressures. Their marriage lasted five years and ended in divorce.

While all three men had significant relationships with Monroe, Joe DiMaggio is often regarded as the one who loved her most deeply and consistently, especially considering his actions and loyalty after their divorce and her untimely death.
