===Kim Kerrigan===
{{main|Kim McLagan}}
Moon's first serious relationship was with [[Kim Kerrigan]], whom he started dating in January 1965 after she saw the Who play at [[The Downstairs Club (later Le Disque a Go! Go!)|Le Disque a Go! Go!]] in Bournemouth.{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=112}} By the end of the year she discovered she was pregnant. Her parents, who were furious, met with the Moons to discuss their options, and she moved into the Moon family home in Wembley.{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|pp=139–141}} She and Moon were married on 17 March 1966 at Brent Register Office,{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=146}} and their daughter Amanda was born on 12 July.{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=163}} The marriage (and child) were kept secret from the press until May 1968.{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=220}} Moon was occasionally violent towards Kim:{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=184}} "if we went out after I had Mandy", she later said, "if someone talked to me, he'd lose it. We'd go home and he'd start a fight with me."{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=186}} He loved Amanda, but his absences due to touring and fondness for practical jokes made their relationship uneasy when she was very young. "He had no idea how to be a father", Kim said. "He was too much of a child himself."{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=220}}

From 1971 to 1975 Moon owned [[Tara, Chertsey|Tara]], a home in Chertsey where he initially lived with his wife and daughter.{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=290}} The Moons entertained extravagantly at home, and owned a number of cars. Jack McCullogh, then working for [[Track Records]] (the Who's label), recalls Moon ordering him to purchase a [[milk float]] to store in the garage at Tara.{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=295}}

In 1973 Kim, convinced that neither she nor anyone else could moderate Keith's behaviour, left her husband and took Amanda;{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=352}} she sued for divorce in 1975 and later married [[Faces (band)|Faces]] keyboard player [[Ian McLagan]].{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|pp=323, 365}} Marsh believes that Moon never truly recovered from the loss of his family.{{sfn|Marsh|1989|p=413}} Butler agrees; despite his relationship with [[Annette Walter-Lax]], he believes that Kim was the only woman Moon loved.<ref name="butler"/> McLagan commented that Moon "couldn't handle it".{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=323}} Moon would harass them with phone calls, and on one occasion before Kim sued for divorce, he invited McLagan for a drink at a [[Richmond, London|Richmond]] pub and sent several "heavies" to break into McLagan's home on Fife Road and look for Kim, forcing her to hide in a [[walk-in closet]].{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=323}} She died in a car accident in [[Austin, Texas]], on 2 August 2006.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/iconic-model-who-married-keith-moon-dies-in-crash-410477.html |title=Iconic model who married Keith Moon dies in car crash |work=[[The Independent]] |last=Herbert |first=Ian |date=4 August 2006 |access-date=6 April 2013 |archive-date=21 March 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080321060059/http://www.canada.com/topics/entertainment/story.html?id=06ccba15-3e88-4d88-b46f-895b1ce2b81c&k=5326 |url-status=live }}</ref>
