Gable was married five times.
He was engaged to actress Franz Dorfler when he lived in Astoria, Oregon.
She referred him to the woman who would become his acting coach and manager, Josephine Dillon.
Gable and Dillon married in 1924 and divorced in 1930.
Gable would say "he owed her a debt of gratitude" for the training he received from Dillon in the early years of his career.
 His second wife was Texas socialite Maria Franklin Prentiss Lucas Langham (nicknamed "Rhea").
The couple divorced on March 7, 1939.

Only 13 days later, during a production break on Gone with the Wind, Gable married comedic actress Carole Lombard, who died in a plane crash less than three years later.
In 1949, Gable married Sylvia Ashley, a British model and actress who was the widow of Douglas Fairbanks; the couple divorced in 1952.
Throughout his film career, Gable had affairs with famous actresses, including Joan Crawford, Marion Davies, Loretta Young (mother of his daughter), Lana Turner, and Nancy Davis (later Ronald Reagan's wife).

In 1955, Gable married Kay Spreckels (née Kathleen Williams), a three-times-married former fashion model and actress who had previously been married to sugar-refining heir Adolph B. Spreckels, Jr., and became stepfather to her two children.
On March 20, 1961, Kay Gable gave birth to Gable's only son, John Clark Gable, at the same hospital in which her husband had died four months earlier.
John Clark had two children: Kayley Gable (born 1986) and Clark James Gable (1988–2019).
Kayley is an actress, while Clark James was the host of two seasons of the nationally syndicated reality show Cheaters.
Clark James died at age 30 on February 22, 2019.

During the filming of The Call of the Wild in early 1935, the film's lead actress, Loretta Young, became pregnant with Gable's child.
Their daughter Judy Lewis was born on November 6, 1935 in Venice, California.
Young hid her pregnancy in an elaborate scheme and nineteen months after the birth she claimed to have adopted the baby.
Most in Hollywood and some in the general public believed Gable was Lewis's father because of their strong resemblance and the timing of her birth.

Five years after Gable's death, when confronted by Lewis, Loretta Young confirmed that she was Lewis's biological mother and that Gable was her father by an affair.
Young died on August 12, 2000; her autobiography, published posthumously, confirmed that Gable was indeed Lewis's father.
Judy Lewis died of cancer at age 76 on November 25, 2011.
In 2014, Young's son, Christopher Lewis, and his wife, Linda, publicly disclosed that Young had told them in 1998 that Judy Lewis was conceived during a rape, stating they had chosen to remain silent about the information until both Young and Lewis were deceased.

In 1933, Gable was initiated into Freemasonry at the Beverly Hills Lodge No.
528 CA.
