Robert has had a long list of girlfriends and wives as well. A good-looking man, he was charismatic in his ways, very friendly and also possessed a good sense of humor. As a result, he made many friends and admirers, and eventually girlfriends as well. He has been in different relationships with actresses like Dana Delany, Lesley Ann Warren etc and others. His first wife was Sondra Kerr whom he married in 1961. Staying together for some 22 years, they got divorced in 1983 with two children: Noah Blake (born 1965) and Delinah Blake (born 1966), both of actors as well. Then he met a woman named Bonnie Lee Bakley, who was accused of taking advantages of older men, especially celebrities and such for money. Being in a relationship with another man, Bonnie was also romantically involved with Robert, and soon asked him to father her child. He however insisted on a DNA test for confirmation, and when the reports came o\positive; the two got married in the year 2000. It was Blake’s 2nd marriage, and Bonnie’s, 10th. The marriage however ended in a year or so and since then Blake’s relationship history has been a mystery. Many accused him to be sexually gay, but that is not true at all.
In 2001 when Robert and Bonnie out for a dinner, and after returning to the car, again went inside to collect his gun that he had left on the table. While he returned back, his wife was dead and she was shot in the head. This stirred a major controversy that Robert was responsible for his wife’s death as he had a gun too and that only she was killed and he was alive. Robert was taken into custody along with his bodyguard and was pleaded not guilty. It was clear that his gun did not fire the shots, although he was later convicted on a trial and was charged with a million dollars for bail. But his children filed a case against him accusing him to have murdered their mother. As of today, he lives at his own place by his own, and is doing well although his health isn’t at its best shape.
