Was your father a homosexual? Idiot!!

Wayne was married three times, always to Spanish-speaking Latinas; to Josephine Alicia Saenz, Esperanza Baur, and Pilar Palette. He had four children with Josephine, three with Pilar, most notably actor Patrick Wayne and Ayissa Wayne who wrote a moving memoir of her life as the daughter of John Wayne. All but one of his children went on to have minor Hollywood careers.

His romance with Josie Saenz began when he was a college student and continued for 7 years before their marriage. Miss Saenz was 15 or 16 at their first meeting at a beach party at Balboa. The daughter of a successful Spanish businessman, Josie resisted considerable reluctance on the part of her family to maintain her relationship with Duke.

In the years prior to his death, Wayne was happily involved with his former secretary, Pat Stacy.
