Lee Majors gained prominence after starring alongside Burt Reynolds in the '60s western series, The Big Valley which aired from 1965 to 1969. However, it was his lead role as Steve Austin in the '70s action series, The Six Million Dollar Man that earned him wide acclaim and made him a pop icon. Aside from his blooming acting career, Majors is also known for his high-profile relationship. The actor has been romantically linked with Hollywood stars and models like Karen Velez, Sally Field, Farrah Fawcett, and Patti Chandler. The father of four recently clocked 85 and took to Instagram to share a celebratory post with his fans. "This is 85! Or as I like to say “58” Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Feeling very blessed and grateful," he gushed, captioning a photo of him seated in front of his birthday cake with a bright smile.

Majors tied the knot with his first wife, Kathy Robinson, who was also his high school lover, in 1961 and welcomed a son who followed in his dad's footsteps. However, four years later, the couple went their separate ways, and by 1973, the actor found love again and married Charlie's Angels star Farrah Fawcett. They became a Hollywood power couple through the '70s, but their relationship only lasted nine years, and they cited their busy schedules as the major cause.
