So in order to shed a bit of life on the romantic endeavors of one of Hollywood's most cherished actresses, let's take a moment to break down Julie's love life.

Julie's first love was British costume and set designer, Tony Walton.

Julie and Tony first met when they were both just 13 years old. At the time, Julie was performing in a Royal Variety stage production of "Humpty Dumpty."

Julie and Tony took a quick liking to one another and began dating soon after.

On May 10th, 1959, Julie and Tony said their "I dos" in front of a close gathering of friends and family in Weybridge, Surrey.

Not long before Julie rose to superstardom with 'Mary Poppins', Julie and Tony welcomed their daughter, Emma, into the world.

Unfortunately, Julie and Tony's relationship wasn't made to last. A little less than eight years later, the couple filed for divorce.

A year later, Julie married her second husband — Blake Edwards.

Blake and Julie met at an intersection, driving in opposite directions from the same therapist's office. Their meet-cute truly was like something out of an old Hollywood movie.

After Julie and Blake were wed in 1969, they raised their children together and adopted two daughters from Vietnam.

They lived all around the world, with homes in Los Angeles, London, and Gaad (Switzerland), until the time of Blake's unfortunate passing in 2010.

"Blake was the most charismatic and interesting fellow you could possibly meet," Julie said while promoting her 2019 memoir.

"He was hilariously funny and had such a dark sense of humor that just put me away, that I loved so much," she explained.

Although laughter was plentiful, Julie was quick to point out that Blake had a dark side.

Julie talked about how Blake battled with depression, and how at times she had to save her husband from the monsters inside of his head.

As to whether or not she's dating today, Julie prefers to keep that information tight-lipped.
