==Personal life==
===Doorn Van Steyn===
In 1946, aged 18, Moore married a fellow RADA student, the actress and ice skater Doorn Van Steyn (born Lucy Woodard), who was six years his senior;<ref name=TelegSep12/> Moore and Van Steyn lived in Streatham with her family, but tension over money matters and her lack of confidence in his acting ability took their toll on the relationship,<ref name="Moore2009">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5B7dAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT36 |title=My Word is My Bond: The Autobiography |author=Roger Moore |date=10 October 2009 |publisher=Michael OMara |isbn=978-1-84317-419-6|pages=36–}}</ref> during which he allegedly suffered [[domestic abuse]].<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/9537467/Sir-Roger-Moore-James-Bond-actor-beaten-up-by-first-two-wives.html Sir Roger Moore: James Bond actor 'beaten up by first two wives'] ''The Telegraph'', 12 September 2012</ref>

===Dorothy Squires===
In 1952 Moore met the Welsh singer [[Dorothy Squires]], who was 12 years his senior, and Van Steyn and Moore divorced the following year.<ref name=SquiresObit>"Obituary: Dorothy Squires", ''[[The Times]]'', London, 15 April 1998, pg. 21</ref> Squires and Moore were married in New York.<ref name=SquiresObit/> They lived in [[Bexley]], [[Kent]], after their wedding.<ref name=Kent5031173>{{cite web|url=http://www.kentnews.co.uk/news/sir-roger-moore-former-james-bond-actor-bexley-and-tunbridge-wells-resident-dies-aged-89-from-cancer-1-5031176|title=Sir Roger Moore, former James Bond actor, Bexley and Tunbridge Wells resident, dies aged 89 from cancer|first=Luke|last=May|publisher=Archant|work=Kentnews.co.uk|access-date=23 May 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170523153358/http://www.kentnews.co.uk/news/sir-roger-moore-former-james-bond-actor-bexley-and-tunbridge-wells-resident-dies-aged-89-from-cancer-1-5031176|archive-date=23 May 2017}}</ref>

They moved to the United States in 1954 to develop their careers, but tension developed in their marriage due to their age difference and Moore's infatuation with starlet [[Dorothy Provine]], and they moved back to the United Kingdom in 1961, where they resided in [[Sutton Coldfield]], near [[Birmingham]].<ref name=SquiresObit/> Squires suffered a series of miscarriages during their marriage, and Moore later said the outcome of their marriage might have been different if they had been able to have children.<ref name=SquiresObit/>

During their tempestuous relationship Squires smashed a guitar over his head, and after learning of his affair with the Italian actress [[Luisa Mattioli]], who later became Moore's third wife, Moore said, "She threw a brick through my window. She reached through the glass and grabbed my shirt and she cut her arms doing it...The police came and they said, 'Madam, you're bleeding' and she said, 'It's my heart that's bleeding'."<ref name=TelegSep12/> Squires intercepted letters from Mattioli to Moore and planned to include them in her autobiography, but the couple won injunctions against the publication in 1977, which led Squires to unsuccessfully sue them for loss of earnings.<ref name=SquiresObit/> The numerous legal cases launched by Squires led her to be declared a [[vexatious litigant]] in 1987.<ref>[https://www.gov.uk/guidance/vexatious-litigants#history Retrieved May 2017]</ref> Moore paid Squires's hospital bills after her cancer treatment in 1996; she died in 1998.<ref name=SquiresOperation>"Moore pays for Squires operation."

Moore had three children with Mattioli: the actress [[Deborah Moore]] (born 27 October 1963) and two sons, Geoffrey (born 28 July 1966) and Christian (born 23 August 1973).<ref name=ESNov03>{{cite news|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/news/moore-saint-or-sinner-7292765.html|title=Roger Moore Saint or Sinner?|last=Cavendish|first=Lucy|work=London Evening Standard|date=17 November 2003|access-date=10 September 2014}}</ref> Geoffrey is also an actor, and appeared alongside his father in the films ''[[Sherlock Holmes in New York]]'' (1976) and ''[[Fire, Ice and Dynamite]]'' (1990).

===Kristina "Kiki" Tholstrup===
Moore and Mattioli separated in 1993 after Moore developed feelings for a Swedish-born Danish socialite, [[Barbro Kristina Linder|Kristina "Kiki" Tholstrup]].<ref name=TelegOct00/> Moore later described his [[prostate cancer]] diagnosis in 1993 as "life-changing", which led him to reassess his life and marriage.<ref name=ESNov03/> Mattioli and Tholstrup had long been friends, but Mattioli was scathing of her in the book she subsequently wrote about her relationship with Moore, ''Nothing Lasts Forever'', describing how she felt betrayed by Tholstrup and discarded by Moore.<ref name=TelegOct00/><ref name=ESNov03/>

Moore remained silent on his divorce from Mattioli, later saying that he did not wish to hurt his children by "engaging in a war of words".<ref name=ESNov03/> Moore's children refused to speak to him for a period after the divorce, but they were later reconciled with their father.<ref name=ESNov03/> Mattioli refused to grant Moore a divorce until 2000, when a £10 million settlement was agreed.<ref>James Bone. "Roger Moore's £10m divorce." ''[[The Times]]'', London, 10 October 2000</ref> Moore subsequently married Tholstrup in 2002.<ref name=ESNov03/> Moore said that he loved Tholstrup as she was "organised", "serene", "loving", and "calm", saying, "I have a difficult life. I rely on Kristina totally. When we are travelling for my job, she is the one who packs. Kristina takes care of all that".<ref name=ESNov03/> Moore also said that his marriage to Tholstrup was "a tranquil relationship, there are no arguments".<ref name=TelegNov13/> Tholstrup had two children, Hans-Christian Knudsen Jr. and Christina Knudsen, from a previous marriage; Christina described her stepfather as a positive influence, saying, "I was in difficult relationships but that all changed" when her mother met Moore. Christina Knudsen died of cancer on 25 July 2016, at the age of 47; Moore wrote, "We are heartbroken" and "We were all with her, surrounding her with love, at the end".<ref>[http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/christina-knudsen-dead-roger-moore_uk_5797418ee4b06d7c426d9798 Roger Moore's Daughter, Christina Knudsen, Dies Aged 47] – Huffington Post UK</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/sirrogermoore/status/757864395473027073|title=Sir Roger Moore on Twitter}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/sirrogermoore/status/757864919765254144|title=Sir Roger Moore on Twitter}}</ref>
