The Oscar-winner has tragically passed away, with the actor being found dead alongside his wife Betsy and their dog. Gene Hackman and his first wife Faye welcomed three children together, but the actor always remained quiet about his personal life except for rare interviews.
Hackman and Faye Maltese were married for 30 years, between 1956 and 1986, with Gene and Faye sharing children Christopher, Elizabeth and Leslie together. Five years after they split, Gene tied the know with classical pianist Betsy Arakawa.
Although the movie star typically kept his personal life out of the limelight, he did make a heartbreaking confession about his family before his death.
