Dusty Springfield husband
From the findings, we have got on Dusty Springfield. She was never reported to be in a heterosexual relationship, and the question of her sexual orientation was raised by the press throughout her life. From 1966 to the early 1970s, she lived in a domestic partnership with fellow singer Norma Tanega.
In 1970, she told the Evening Standard: “Many other people say I’m bent, and I’ve heard it so many times that I’ve almost learned to accept it. I know I’m perfectly as capable of being swayed by a girl as by a boy. More and more people feel that way and I don’t see why I shouldn’t.” She was later in several romantic relationships with women in Canada and the United States, including an “off and on” domestic relationship with Faye Harris, an American photojournalist.
In 1983, she and her partner Teda Bracci exchanged vows at a wedding ceremony, which was not recognized under California law at the time. However, the pair had a “tempestuous” relationship leading to Bracci hitting Dusty in the mouth with a saucepan, requiring plastic surgery. The pair separated within two years.
