Tom Jones had a heartbreaking relationship with his loyal wife who stood by him through his multiple affairs. The Sex Bomb hitmaker, 83, had a reputation as a womaniser during the height of his career, and confessed to having “hundreds” of affairs with women while still married to his beloved wife Linda Trenchard. The couple began dating when they were just 12 years old, and five years later, they were married.
Just a few months after exchanging vows in the Welsh town of Treforest, Pontypridd, they welcomed their only child, son Mark. Tom’s career went from strength to strength in the 1960s, and he was propelled to superstardom with the release of his iconic hit It’s Not Unusual in 1965. However, while the Welsh crooner jetted off around the world , his loyal wife Linda stayed at home in Wales with their son, and soon Tom began having multiple affairs with hundreds of women.
He confessed to sleeping with more than 250 women a year during his heyday - and even had a separate dressing room on you to entertain his female guests - and was linked to Supremes singer Mary Wilson and TV host Charlotte Laws. But it was his fling with former Miss World Marjorie Wallace that landed him in hot water, as pictures of the couple holding hands in Barbados and Las Vegas prompted her to be stripped of her Miss World crown. When Tom realised Linda was about to learn the truth, he called it quits with Marjorie and confessed to the affair, and revealed his wife was so furious she punched .
