Andrea Dotti

Andrea Paolo Mario Dotti was an Italian psychiatrist. He is well known as the second husband of Audrey Hepburn from 1969 to 1982. Dotti met Audrey Hepburn in June 1968 on a cruise on a yacht owned by a friend and fell in love with her on a trip visiting Greece. They subsequently married on 18 January 1969. At the time, Audrey Hepburn said that Dotti and her planned to have children together and that she decided to end her acting career to become an "Italian housewife". The couple had one child, a son named Luca, born on 8 February 1970. Dotti and Hepburn stayed married for 13 years, but, many of those marital years were marked by Dotti's adulterous behavior with many reported affairs with younger women. Audrey Hepburn stayed with Dotti until she decided that their son was old enough to deal with the divorce. Although their divorce was somewhat bitter, Hepburn stayed in contact with Dotti following the divorce for the benefit of their son Luca. Andrea Dotti died in Rome in 2007 on 30th September, following complications from a colonoscopy.
