Marriage to James Moreland
In the early years of her career, Courtney Love got together with fellow musician James Moreland, frontman of the now-defunct rock band “The Leaving Trains.’ Their relationship was poorly documented owing to the fact that Love was relatively unknown at the time.

Billy Corgan
Right before she got together with her famous late husband Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love had a brief relationship with fellow singer-songwriter Billy Corgan, frontman of the rock band ‘The Smashing Pumpkins’. It remains unclear how they met or when the relationship actually kicked off, however, Love has made some major revelations regarding their breakup in 1991. According to the singer, she had accompanied Corgan and his Smashing Pumpkins band on a European tour, however, he refused to pay for her return flight. The relationship between the two remained strained for several years that followed, however, they eventually reconciled in 2014.
Marriage to Kurt Cobain
Courtney Love’s most notable relationship yet is her 2-year marital union to late rock musician Kurt Cobain. It has been widely reported that Love developed a crush on the rock star in 1989 after seeing him perform at a gig in Portland, Oregon. In May 1991, Love and Cobain had a much closer encounter after a Butthole Surfers concert at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.

Things began to go awry for them after Love admitted in a Vanity Fair interview that she had taken heroin while pregnant with her daughter. As a result, the couple came under intense public scrutiny including a lawsuit by the Los Angeles County Department of Children’s Services which declared them unfit to be parents. However, Love later denied the allegations claiming that she had been quoted out of context.
Unfortunately, Courtney Love’s marriage to Kurt Cobain came to a tragic end on April 5, 1994, following the latter’s death by suicide. Prior to his death, Cobain had exhibited suicidal tendencies on a number of occasions and as a result, his wife Love had him admitted for a drug detoxification program at the Exodus Recovery Center in Los Angeles.
