Mixed Ethnicity Actress Pam Grier: Did She ever Get Married? Lesbian Rumors?
For the modern people, media is the source of truth and-and in this busy era people tend to believe whatever they read in the magazine or on the internet. However, things get out of control at times because of so many false rumors and hoax that surround the lives of many celebrities. Most of these rumors are or were based on their private life; especially on their partners, affairs, and sexual orientation! It is kind of similar story with the actress we are writing about, Pam Grier.
Did She Ever Walk Down The Aisle?
Pam Grier is a revolutionary actress, who has made a legacy in her 45 years career as an actress. Most of her roles in movies were unique because of the style and appearance she possesses. For example, we can look at her sultry and bold characters on stage, based on stories of Crime, Drama, and Blaxploitation.
However, it is kind of shocking to learn that this iconic woman is not married, even at the age of 67 years old and sadly, Pam stays mum about the reason.
In her past, she had loads of relationships, and there was a time when she got engaged. In April of 1998, Pam revealed to Jet on 13th April 1998 about her engagement to Kevin Evans and her plans to have babies.
However, her engagement couldn't take another step; which was getting married and the couple called it quits the following year, failing to become husband and wife. Her engagement and plans to have babies was not the only thing she revealed with Jet as she also had a chat about her death-defying experience with cancer.

Pam failed to specify the cancer type but recalled that the doctors only gave her only 18 months of time with her life. Fortunately, Pam recovered from cancer but still is unknown to what contributed to her cure other that medical assistance. She said,
'I'm human and there was a great chance that I wouldn't be here. It just wasn't my time. There are a lot of strong people who don't make it. You just don't know. You're lucky if you can think hour-to-hour, day-to-day and plan for the next week I think myself as a strong person."
Both Pam and Kevin did not bother to reveal the reason for their split, but even after Pam's hopes of marrying and having children with Kevin were crushed, it did not stop her from continuing her career. She appeared in a couple of Lesbian roles, which is very much popular and appreciated amongst her fans.
Dating life that crushes lesbian rumors:
As every good thing has its consequences, some people were and still are blindfolded by the character Pam played on-screen and forgot the fact that TV roles and real life are completely different and we can prove that by the examining the rumors of Pam being a real-life lesbian.
If you look at her dating history with men, the rumors have no grounds to stand on. Pam has dated many well-known figures in Hollywood, who never said anything to raise suspicion towards her sexual orientation.
Apart from Kevin Evans, Pam dated Late actor Freddie Prinze, and Pam was together for a brief between 1973 and 1974. She revealed that Freddie wanted her to have his baby.

Next to that comes Richard Pryor in 1976. However, the relationship ended in the same year after Pam could not take Richard's cocaine addiction and had it enough after Pam discovered cocaine residues in her body.

Both Kareem and Pam did not mention the reason for the split, but Pam did mention that Kareem wanted her to convert her to Islam.

Last but not the least is with Peter Hempel whom she dated for about eight years. There is no information available about Peter, and he is only known for being the boyfriend of Pam Grier. In 2014, Pam addressed a rumor regarding her boyfriend and cleared up about it in twitter.
However, still, her fans can't disagree with the fact that even at this age and time, she still has got that sex appeal that most women dream of having.
