At 86, Lee Majors finally opens up about his decades-long silence on his passionate but heartbreaking marriage to Farrah Fawcett, revealing how fame, jealousy, and lost love tore them apart — and how her final words still haunt him with both regret and tenderness.

At 86, Lee Majors Finally Admitted The Devastating Truth About Farrah  Fawcett

At 86 years old, Lee Majors — the legendary “Six Million Dollar Man” — has finally broken his silence about the woman who changed his life forever: Farrah Fawcett.

For more than forty years, Majors has kept quiet about their passionate, complicated love story, a romance that captured the attention of the entire world and ended in heartbreak that he never truly recovered from.

Sitting for a rare and emotional interview at his home in Los Angeles, Majors spoke softly but clearly as he reflected on the woman who defined both his greatest joy and deepest pain.

“We were young, beautiful, and foolish,” he said with a faint smile.

“Everyone thought we had everything — but what they didn’t see was how fame tore us apart.”

Majors and Fawcett were one of Hollywood’s most dazzling couples in the 1970s.

He was the rugged television hero, starring in The Six Million Dollar Man, while she was America’s golden girl from Charlie’s Angels, her iconic poster decorating millions of walls around the world.

They met in 1968 and married in 1973, quickly becoming the embodiment of glamour and success.

But behind the cameras, their lives were anything but perfect.

According to Majors, the pressure of fame created a distance between them that no amount of love could bridge.

“She became this global icon almost overnight,” he recalled.

“Everywhere we went, people stared, cameras followed, and privacy disappeared.

We stopped being Lee and Farrah — we became headlines.”

Their marriage began to crumble in the late 1970s as Fawcett’s career exploded.

Rumors of infidelity and jealousy swirled, and while Majors never confirmed them directly, he admitted that the constant spotlight was suffocating.

“I was proud of her — I truly was,” he said quietly.

“But I think we both lost ourselves somewhere in that chaos.”

The couple separated in 1979 and officially divorced in 1982.

Not long after, Farrah Fawcett began a relationship with actor Ryan O’Neal, which would later dominate Hollywood gossip pages for decades.

When asked how he felt about O’Neal, Majors paused for a long moment.

“Ryan and I were friends once,” he said.

“Life takes strange turns.

I never held hatred — just sadness.

She deserved peace, and I hope she found some.”

Fawcett’s tragic death in 2009 after a long battle with cancer deeply affected Majors.

Though they hadn’t spoken regularly for years, he revealed that they shared one final conversation before she passed away.

“It wasn’t long,” he said, his voice breaking.

“She told me she remembered the good times — the laughter, the love, the silly moments we thought would last forever.

That meant everything.”

Friends close to Majors say that he still keeps a framed photo of Farrah in his home, taken during the early days of their marriage.

“She was the light of his life,” one longtime friend shared.

“Even after all the fame, all the heartbreak, he never stopped caring for her.”

In the decades since their separation, Majors continued acting, appearing in shows like The Fall Guy and countless guest roles.

Yet he often avoided discussing Fawcett publicly, preferring to keep those memories private — until now.

“You reach a point in life where you realize time is short,” he said.

“And if you don’t tell your truth, it dies with you.”

When asked what he would say to Farrah if she were here today, Majors smiled wistfully.

“I’d tell her I’m sorry — for not being strong enough to protect what we had,” he said.

“And I’d thank her for loving me when I didn’t even know how to love myself.”

The interview ends in silence, but the weight of his words lingers.

After four decades, Lee Majors has finally spoken — not as a Hollywood star, but as a man who loved deeply, lost painfully, and still remembers the woman who made him believe in forever.

His confession serves as a reminder that even in the glittering world of fame, true love leaves scars that never fade — and memories that never die
