Baxter married actor John Hodiak on July 7, 1946, at her parents' home in Burlingame, California.
They had one daughter, Katrina, born in 1951.
Baxter and Hodiak divorced in 1953.
At the time, she said they were "basically incompatible", but in her book she blamed herself for the separation: "I had loved John as much", she wrote. "
But we'd eventually congealed in the longest winter in the world.
Daily estrangement.
Things unsaid.
Even a fight would have warmed us.
To my shame, I'd picked one at last in order to unfreeze the word 'divorce.'"
Hodiak died in 1955.

Baxter was a Republican who was active in the campaigns of Thomas E. Dewey and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

In the mid-1950s, Baxter began a relationship with her publicist Russell Birdwell, who took control of her career and directed her in The Come On (1956).
The couple formed Baxter-Birdwell Productions to make films on a 10-year plan; Baxter would star in the films and Birdwell would work behind the camera.
Princeton University Library has a collection of 175 letters by Baxter to Birdwell.

In 1960, Baxter married her second husband Randolph Galt, an American owner of a neighboring cattle station near Sydney, Australia, where she was filming Summer of the Seventeenth Doll.
After the birth of their second daughter, Maginel, back in California, Galt unexpectedly announced that they were moving to a 4,452 hectare (11,000 acre) ranch south of Grants, New Mexico.
They then moved to Hawaii (his home state) before settling back in Brentwood, California.
Baxter and Galt were divorced in 1969.
In 1976, Baxter recounted her courtship with Galt (whom she called "Ran") and their experiences at Giro in a well-received book called Intermission.

Melissa Galt, Baxter's first daughter with Galt, became an interior designer and then a business coach, speaker, and seminar provider.
Maginel became a cloistered Catholic nun, reportedly living in Rome, Italy.

In 1977, Baxter married David Klee, a stockbroker.
It was a brief marriage; Klee died unexpectedly from illness.
The newlywed couple had purchased a sprawling property in Easton, Connecticut, which they extensively remodeled; however, Klee did not live to see the renovations completed.
Although she maintained a residence in West Hollywood, Baxter considered her Connecticut home to be her primary residence.
