Morgan got married for the first time to actor Charles Weldon in 1980. However, their marriage only lasted for four years and they went their separate ways in 1984.
The Eve’s Bayou star moved on with Charles S. Dutton, a former convict who did time for manslaughter before becoming a Broadway star. The pair tied the knot on December 31, 1989.
Morgan opened up about what attracted her to Dutton when talking to Oprah Winfrey on Where Are They Now.
“One of the things with children growing up with domestic violent homes is that, they are drawn to people that have a lot of brute strength,” she said. “Because they feel that they are gonna protect them.”
She further explained that after she learned of him having spent time in prison and the sort of life he had lived, she found those aspects of him “seductive.”
Though her relationship with Dutton wasn’t physically abusive, Morgan shared it was the lowest point in her life.
They eventually split in 1994. Morgan shared that when they went their separate ways, Dutton had told her she would never have been happy with him because he wasn’t “worthy to be anybody’s husband.”
Dutton hasn’t gotten married again after his divorce from Morgan.
Morgan later married photographer Donn Thompson on March 15, 1997, on a Bahamas beach. The two met when he shot her portrait for the June 1995 cover of Black Elegance.
Similar to her two previous relationships, this one was short-lived too. They ended their marriage after three years in 2000.
