Gaynor was romantically involved with her friend and frequent co-star [[Charles Farrell]] during their work together in silent films until she married her first husband. Choosing to keep their relationship out of the public eye, Gaynor and Farrell were often assisted by a mutual friend [[Douglas Fairbanks Jr.]] in maintaining the ruse. Looking back, Fairbanks would later recall, "We three were so chummy that I became their 'beard,' the cover-up for their secret romance. I would drive them out to a little rundown, wooden house well south of Los Angeles, near the sea. I'd leave them there and go sailing or swimming until [it was] time to collect them and then we'd all have a bit of dinner."<ref>{{cite book|last1=Baker|first1=Sarah|title=Lucky Stars: Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell|date=2009|publisher=BearManor Media|location=Albany, GA|page=82}}</ref>

According to Gaynor's biographer Sarah Baker, Farrell proposed marriage during the filming of ''[[Lucky Star (1929 film)|Lucky Star]]'', but the two never followed through with it. In her later years, Gaynor would hold their different personalities accountable for their eventual separation.

Gaynor was married three times and had one child. Her first marriage was to lawyer Jesse Lydell Peck, whom she married on September 11, 1929. Gaynor's attorney announced the couple's separation in late December 1932.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1499&dat=19321221&id=ZahQAAAAIBAJ&pg=5926,6714298|title=Janet Gaynor, Peck Announce Separation|date=December 21, 1932|work=The Milwaukee Journal|page=8|access-date=March 30, 2015|location=Milwaukee, Wisconsin}}{{Dead link|date=December 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> She was granted a divorce on April 7, 1933.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1913&dat=19330407&id=7UEpAAAAIBAJ&pg=6299,427539|title=Janet Gaynor Is Granted Divorce|date=April 7, 1933|work=Lewiston Evening Journal|page=1|access-date=March 30, 2015|location=Lewiston, Maine}}</ref> On August 14, 1939, she married MGM costume designer [[Adrian (costume designer)|Adrian]] in [[Yuma, Arizona]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=897&dat=19390815&id=YzZNAAAAIBAJ&pg=3314,3377967|title=Janet Gaynor Weds Adrian In Yuma|date=August 15, 1939|work=Prescott Evening Courier|page=1|access-date=March 30, 2015|location=Prescott, Arizona}}</ref> This relationship has been called a [[lavender marriage]] because Adrian was openly gay within the film community, and Gaynor herself was rumored to be bisexual.<ref>{{cite book|last=Stern|first=Keith |title=Queers in History: The Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Historical Gays, Lesbians and Bisexuals|year=2013|publisher=BenBella Books, Inc.|isbn=978-1-935-25183-5|page=6}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last=Habib|first=John Phillip|date=July 9, 2002|title=Dressmaker for Stars and Secretaries|journal=The Advocate|publisher=Here Publishing|issue=867|page=61|issn=0001-8996|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eGQEAAAAMBAJ&q=janet+gaynor+gay&pg=PA60}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Lyttle|first1=John|title=The bride and groom wore lavender|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/the-bride-and-groom-wore-lavender-1598474.html|access-date=March 18, 2015|work=The Independent|date=August 29, 1995}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Lord|first=M.
