Kerr's first marriage was to [[Squadron Leader]] [[Tony Bartley|Anthony Bartley]] [[Royal Air Force|RAF]] on 29 November 1945. They had two daughters, [[Melanie Jane Bartley|Melanie Jane]] (born 27 December 1947) and Francesca Ann (born 18 December 1951, who married the actor [[John Shrapnel]]). Through Francesca they had three grandsons, actors [[Lex Shrapnel]] and Tom Shrapnel as well as the writer Joe Shrapnel. Melanie is a medical sociologist and retired academic. The marriage was troubled, owing to Bartley's envy of his wife's fame and financial success,<ref name="Deborah"/> and because her career often took her away from home. They divorced in 1959.

Her second marriage was to author [[Peter Viertel]] on 23 July 1960. In marrying Viertel, she became stepmother to Viertel's daughter, Christine Viertel. Although she long resided in [[Klosters]], Switzerland, and [[Marbella]], Spain, Kerr moved back to Britain to be closer to her own children as her health began to deteriorate. Her husband, however, continued to live in Marbella.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/actress-deborah-kerr-dies-at-86/| title=Actress Deborah Kerr Dies at 86| date=18 October 2007| work=[[CBS News]]| access-date=20 June 2020}}</ref>
