In the modern world of social media, tabloids, and gossip websites, it often seems like fans know everything about their favorite star's love life. In many cases, that is the case because many celebrities now seem to share every aspect of their love life on social media.

In years past, however, there were a lot of celebrities who did everything they could to maintain their privacy. An example of that elder group before his passing, Michael Gambon avoided talking about his personal life as much as he could.

According to The Mirror, Gambon once took extreme measures to keep his love life out of the spotlight. During an interview, Gambon was asked about his longtime wife, and he responded to the question by asking, "What wife?"

If that response had anyone questioning if Gambon actually was married, his passing ended the mystery. Once Gambon took his final breath, a statement was released on behalf of his wife and their son Fergus Gambon mourning the famed actor.

Reportedly a mathematician, Anne Miller married Gambon in 1962 when she was only 22 years old. Following their nuptials all those years ago, Miller and Gambon remained married for more than sixty years until he passed.

According to The Sun, Michael Gambon had a life-changing moment on the set of the Channel One show Longitude. While working on that show in the year 2000, Gambon met a set designer named Philippa Hart.

Even though Hart is twenty-five years younger than Gambon, the two hit it off. A year later when Gambon was working on the movie Gosford Park, he reportedly introduced Hart to his co-workers as his girlfriend.

In the years 2007 and 2009, Hart gave birth to a pair of sons she shared with Gambon. Similar to Gambon's relationship with his wife, Hart reportedly remained his girlfriend until he sadly passed away at 82 years old.

Given what is known about Gambon's love life, it appears that he had a wife and girlfriend at the same time for more than twenty years. While that seems very scandalous, it is important to note that Gambon reportedly wasn't sneaking around.

According to reports, it wasn't only Gambon's friends and co-workers who knew he had two families. Instead, Gambon's wife and girlfriend reportedly were completely aware of each other. With that in mind, it begs an obvious question, did Gambon's wife and girlfriend get along?

In reality, the only people who know how well Hart and Miller got along are the two of them and Miller. On top of that, some people close to the love triangle may have some idea of their dynamic.

That said, there have been reports about how things played out once Gambon got involved with Hart. According to a report from The Daily Mail, Miller initially was "devastated" by the situation and even moved out of the home she shared with Gambon. However, Miller reportedly had a change of heart.

"Lady Gambon was said to initially have been devastated by the news of her husband's other relationship and moved out of the home they shared. But she then came to terms with the arrangement and moved back in to their Gravesend home."

While Miller and Hart reportedly agreeing to co-exist, there is no indication the two women became close
