Val Kilmer was linked to Cindy Crawford, Angelina Jolie, Cher and more celebrities throughout his life.
The Batman Forever star’s daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed her father died of pneumonia on Tuesday, April 1, per The New York Times.
“I’ve always found women infinitely more interesting than men,” the Top Gun star wrote in his 2020 memoir, I’m Your Huckleberry. “Perhaps that’s why we’ve always gotten along. We are big oafy elephants … and they are butterflies.”
While he was in several public relationships, Kilmer only walked down the aisle once. He married actress Joanne Whalley in 1988. After welcoming daughter Mercedes in 1991 and son Jack in 1995, they called it quits, finalizing their divorce in 1996.
While he moved on from his spouse with Crawford in the ’90s, he referred to his split from Daryl Hannah, whom he dated in the early 2000s, as his “most painful” heartbreak of all.
Kilmer also claimed that he hadn’t “had a girlfriend in 20 years. The truth is I am lonely part of every day.”
The actor died at age 65 in April 2025. His death certificate later confirmed that his cause of death was pneumonia.
