Do you think that Spencer Tracy should have divorced his wife and married Katherine Hepburn, and do you believe the rumors that both he and Hepburn were gay and only using their relationship as a cover?

Evidently, it was love at first sight. When Katherine Hepburn was first introduced to Spencer Tracy on the set of the 1942 film “Woman of the Year”, she couldn’t help but fall madly in love with him almost instantaneously. Hepburn naturally was familiar with Spencer’s film work and no doubt had a great deal of respect for him on a professional level, but her infatuation went far beyond that. There was just something so alluring about the “Inherit The Wind” actor that she couldn’t quite put her finger on.
Still, the celebrated actress did her best to act as nonchalant about the encounter as possible. Reportedly, she even made a few jokes about Tracy’s height in a thinly veiled attempt at playing it cool and not revealing her hand too quickly.
Although Hepburn was head over heels for Tracy, he was still married at the time to actress Louise Treadwell. After Tracy and his wife began having relationship issues following the birth of their son Spencer separated from her in 1933 and left the family home never to return. That being said Neither Tracy nor his wife ever pursued a divorce and when Spencer and Katherine began their relationship, they had to tread lightly in order to not stir up controversy.
Not long after being introduced, Hepburn and Tracy started seeing each other They went on to enjoy a hot and heavy, albeit very secretive, romance for several decades, and ultimately spent the remainder of their lives as close inseparable friends.
Katherine and Spencer had some serious chemistry. Honestly, they would have made for a great husband-and-wife team if it weren’t for Tracy’s marriage. In this video, we’ll be taking a look at why Tracy never pursued such a course even though he and Hepburn clearly had a good thing going for them.

My favorite actress!!! Loved her in every movie she did. The African Queen is one of my top favorites and so is On Golden Pond. Spencer and Hepburn would have been the 'It' couple. Thank you very much for this upload ❣️ Loved it ❣️🥰

Katharine Hepburn was very outspoken and bold and about her beliefs. If she were gay, she would have said so.

Your right! Getting a divorce is a sinful act, but so is adultery. So this doesn't make any sense. He should have let his wife go so she could move on. I think Tracey was very selfish in not divorcing his wife.

Scotty Bowers was a liar. He waited until everyone he talked about was dead. Katharine Hepburn lived until 2003. That was too soon for lazy, procrastinating Scotty to draw attention to himself. During World War 2 he joined the United States Marine Corps and fought as a paramarine at the Battle of Iwo Jima. So what? That did not give him the right to discuss the sexual fantasies of dead people who could not discuss their own fantasies.

That bowers stuff written when he was 89, seem baloney. If Heburn were gay and she was not, she would not order up brunettes from Bowers the gas station guy, not my how lesbian women friends or any women typically think. And how convenient for Bowers who may have been a disgruntled neighbor to make up some instance between the great star and the Bowers the gas station pimp. These assertions are simply not corroborated in other accounts of soul mates Hepburn and Tracy, also their physical chemistry on screen and some say off, was palpable. Somebody else made money on that book, as the dead can’t defend themselves.

But if he was married, and let’s say that was a cover for being gay (as it often was) why would he need to complicate it with another woman? That part of it doesn’t make sense. Maybe she WAS a lesbian or swung both ways?

Like all humans, they each were flawed & should never have been unfaithful to his marriage vows. Catholics are often strange in their beliefs, more afraid to divorce than to have multiple affairs...such legalism & ignorance where God is concerned (sigh). Anyway, both actors were extremely talented & interesting, & that's what I will remember them for.....
