Donna Mills’ Partner – Larry Gilman
Donna Mills has been in a long-term relationship with Larry Gilman since the year 2001. So, technically speaking, they have been together for 22 years now, which really shows the depth of their relationship and their love for one another.
They were always questioned as a couple as to when they would be marrying one another. But Mills has been very prominently vocal about her take on the matter.
She has never beaten around the bush and has outrightly said that she and Larry do not plan to marry at all. Yes, it is true. They have said that staying together without subscribing to the institution of marriage is a ‘much cleaner’ idea.
We don’t know if it is because they are not willing to make it a labeled relationship or just because they want it to be so. However it is, the two have already mentioned their decision on the matter, so there is not much left for people to whisper about.
But one thing that is always discussed among people is the depth of their bond. Often, and in most cases, relationships don’t last more than a couple of years. Looking at that, we can say that Larry and Mills have really set an example for all lovers to see.
Donna Mills took care of her daughter with partner Larry Gilman.
Since Donna did not have children, she decided to adopt a baby and keep her as her own. The baby she adopted was just four days old at that time and was requiring a lot of care.
People even tried to walk her out of this decision as this toddler needed a lot of attention, and Donna had turned 54 years old. However, she stood by her decision and named her daughter Chloe.

Since then, Larry and Donna have been looking after their daughter together and giving her all the love possible. The daughter is now 28 years old, while Donna is in her 80s. Although old, she has taken good care of her daughter and her partner.
Going against the normal norms of society, Donna adopted a daughter in her 50s and kept her with love. She has worked in the TV industry as well as in movies, earning a good amount of popularity. She and Larry have set a bar for the lovers to come, and that stays.
