A Controversial Relationship
Like many relationships in Hollywood, their romance ran into its challenges almost immediately. One major problem was the fact that at the time, Katharine was still technically married to a movie set technician, Gaetano Lisi. Their marriage was already on the rocks big time and headed toward divorce, but it was still considered to be quite scandalous at the time.

As soon as Ross’ divorce to Lisi was finalized, she was free to pursue her relationship with Sam. Now, she was open and more deeply committed to the man she met and fell in love with. But her divorce was nothing new to her; she had already been divorced four times. Sam, on the other hand, had never been married.
