Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted sex offender and New York-financier who died in jail awaiting sex trafficking charges, and his alleged crimes are the focus of a new Netflix docu-series Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich. Told primarily through the first-person perspective of his many accusers, the docu-series will undoubtedly instill outrage in anyone who watches, and bring up even more questions about Jeffrey's mysterious personal and professional dealings.
"He is this mysterious, Gatsbyesque figure," one of Jeffrey's associates told New York Magazine in 2002. "He likes people to think that he is very rich, and he cultivates this air of aloofness. The whole thing is weird."
He also surrounded himself with beautiful, young women. "I've known Jeff for fifteen years," Donald Trump told New York Magazine in 2002. "Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."
Over the years, Jeffrey had many girlfriends, but ultimately never married. Here's what to know about his romantic relationships.
Jeffrey was open to marriage.
Sources revealed Jeffrey said in 2014 that if he ever married, it would be to Celina Dubin, who was 19 years old at the time, according to New York Post . However, Celina and Jeffrey weren't actually dating or in a romantic relationship. She was also the daughter of Jeffrey's ex-girlfriend Eva Andersson Dubin. Jeffrey and Dubin dated for 11 years starting in 1980, according to The Daily Mail.
Jeffrey never married, but one ex-girlfriend remained by his side for decades.
Ghislaine Maxwell was the daughter of Robert Maxwell, a British media mogul. She moved to New York City in 1991 and dated Jeffrey in the early '90s. They maintained a mysterious relationship afterward.
Over the years, she helped manage his multiple homes and coordinate his social relationships, the New York Times reported. Ghislaine floated in and out of the house with the keys, and even though Jeffrey told me they didnt have a sexual relationship, shed drop under her breath that she was sleeping in his bed from time to time, one of Jeffrey's ex-girlfriends told Vanity Fair .
Ghislaine was in love with Jeffrey the way she was in love with her father," another source told the publication. She always thought if she just did one more thing for him, to please him, he would marry her.
Jeffrey reportedly preferred baby-faced blondes.
He kept a photo of Morgan Fairchild, a 1980s soap opera actress, in his Upper East Side home, according to V anity Fair. She was reportedly his ideal type.
There were women who were not underage, but usually in their younger 20s, who became part of what were calling Epsteins sex-trafficking orbittheyd either be trafficked or lent out, describe it as you will, to other people, David Boies, attorney for some of Jeffreys accusers, told the publication. Then there were young professional women of comparable age whom Epstein sort of dated, and then he might or might not recommend them to other people.
And, he often had multiple girlfriends.
Jeffrey's ex-girlfriends revealed his polyamorous ways. "It was a whole spiel about polyamory, and it made me really insecureI wasnt a girl who had high self-esteem or self-worth at that time," one of his ex-girlfriends told Vanity Fair. "I didnt think I could do an open relationship, and I also thought if I said I wouldnt do it, he would still go out with me, but he didnt.
But most of them prefer to remain anonymous.
Many women who dated Jeffrey have kept their names secret, but they've opened up to media about their relationships. He was so insecurehe had that outer-borough thing of always needing a model on his arm, one of his ex-girlfriends, a Sports Illustrated model, told Vanity Fair. He was emotionally infantile, stunted, without an inner world.
Jeffrey often appeared at events with companions identified as "mystery woman" or "guest." "He always wanted to give the impression that he was an international man of mysteryI control everyone and everything, I collect people, I own people, I can damage people, another ex-girlfriend told Vanity Fair.
