In 1961, James first got married to Dee Jay Mathis. Tara, a daughter born to them through their union, graced their lives in 1964.

Sadly, only two years after delivering Tara into the world, their marriage hit rock bottom, and they divorced in 1966.

2. Sheila Marie Ryan And James Caan's Marriage

The well-known actor's second wife, Sheila Marie Ryan, was also an actress and a former model.

She appeared in the centerfold pictorial of Gallery Magazine, which was published by F. Lee Bailey in January 1973, and was well-known for her roles in Road House (1989), Lone Star Blues (1994), and Hunter (1984).

Before she moved in with Caan, she used to date Elvis Presley. After one year of marriage, she divorced Caan in 1977.

Prior to their split, they had a son named Scott Cann, who shares his father's profession as an actor and was born on August 23, 1976.

In addition to having custody of their kid and receiving $3,000 per month in alimony payments for five years following the divorce, Ryan also received $1,000 per month in child support up until the youngster turned 18 years old.

Sheila Marie Ryan's death following a protracted fight with cancer was reported on the website of Elvis Presley's fan club. Similarly, she passed away on September 18, 2012, in Canoga Park, California (USA).

It was said that Caan took a significant hiatus from everything marriage-related after his second divorce. Over a decade or so passed during the hiatus. He reappeared in 1990 as Ingrid Hajek's husband, although the couple was not together forever.

James Caan and his third wife eventually divorced, just like in his first two marriages. Even though the cause of their separation was never made public, the divorce was officially concluded on March 29, 1995.

4. Linda Stoke And James Caan's Marriage

James Caan seems to have a penchant for fashion icons like models and stylists. On October 7, 1995, a costume designer named Linda Stokes drew his attention, and the two exchanged vows.

After two decades of an idyllic marriage, Caan made the decision to file for divorce, alleging irreconcilable differences.

Even though the marriage lasted longer than his other unions, it was rumored that the reason the pair stuck together for so long as they wanted to defy convention.

According to rumors, James Caan filed for divorce from Stokes at least twice before their 2017 divorce became finalized. He initially did it in 2005 and again in 2009.
