Melissa Lee Gatlin

Melissa Lee Gatlin is the ex-spouse of Billy Bob Thornton. She is famously recognized as being the ex-wife of Billy, a famous filmmaker, actor, and musician. 

Originally, the lady belonged to the United States of America, and her nationality is American. 

What was the reason behind Melissa's divorce?

Melissa was the first spouse of Billy. The former pair tied the wedding knot back in 1978. 

Nevertheless, the individuals were in the relationship before turning their relationship official. 

Sadly, just after two years of togetherness, they parted their ways. Melissa had confronted the reason as incompatibility and adultery on Billy's part for their split up. 

One daughter from her married life with Billy

Together, Melissa and Billy were the parents of a daughter named Amanda Brumfield. 

However, their daughter was sent to prison for the murder case of her best friend's one-year-old daughter. 

Nevertheless, the lady said she didn't imagine being behind bars. Before being sent to prison, she believed in the system. 

However, as of now, Amanda had lost most of her faith in the justice system. It all happened after seeing her case being handled. 

Amanda says that she had fought this journey for so long. 

Further adding that they are fast enough to put you in prison but to let you out, it is much slower; Amanda speaks in a Facebook Live discussion with the Innocence Project of Florida after her release for the first time. 

She also says she has been a victim of a system. The lady kept on saying that the baby was dead trying to climb out of her playpen at her house in Ocoee. 

The little baby got injured in the head, which led to her death. Amanda poured her heart out that the prosecutors judged the situation based on Junk science, which is false. 

Lastly, she confronted that she missed important events and graduations in her life. 

Her ex-husband had several relationships

After being separated, her former husband had many other relationships too. Billy tied the knot with Toni Lawrence later on April 4, 1986. 

Just like before, his relationship tore apart after two years. Cynthia Ann Williams and Billy became officially together in the year 1990. 

However, just after a year, they split up. Cynthia serves as a singer, actress, and author. After all these, Pietra Dawn Cherniak married Billy in the year 1993. 

She is a playboy model. Before the divorce, the lady gave birth to two kids named William Langston Thornton and Harry James Thornton. 

Pietra claimed Billy was abusive towards her, so she chose divorce. Angelina and Billy's marriage is considered a well-known event among all. 

However, separating in the year 2002 indeed. Last comes Connie Angland, whom he met in the year 2003. 

He didn't believe in marriages after five failed relationships. However, after marrying Connie in 2014, the pair are still together. 

They have a daughter named Bella Thornton, born around 2004. 

Billy Bob Thornton's family was poor

Billy's childhood was very hard as he faced numerous obstacles as his family didn't have enough food to eat. 

Billy was raised in a large family in Malvern, Arkansas. All of them ate the food their grandfather brought home after hunting.
