Faye Dunaway and Marcello Mastroianni
Mastroianni married Flora Carabella on 12 August 1950, but eventually separated because of his affairs with younger women. Mastroianni's first serious relationship after the separation was with Faye Dunaway, his co-star in A Place for Lovers (1968).
Dunaway wanted to marry and have children, but Mastroianni, a Catholic, refused to divorce Carabella. In 1970, after more than two years of waiting for Mastroianni to change his mind, Dunaway left him.
Mastroianni told a reporter for People magazine in 1987 that he never got over his relationship with Dunaway. "She was the woman I loved the most", he said. "I'll always be sorry to have lost her. I was whole with her for the first time in my life."

She really does look Crawford-esque in that photo. Part of it is the heavy eye make-up.
A very young Joan, if you will.
And Marcello was always a fox.

He had no idea of the bullet he dodged by not marrying her.

Marcello then went on to have a child with Catherine Deneuve!
Chaira is now 48.

Despite his reputation as an international ladies man, Marcello was actually a shy, self-deprecating man, who lived a private life and was bemused by his public persona. It was his wife, stage and screen actress, Flora Carabella, who was the glamorous social butterfly. Sophia Loren described her as a "joyful, committed, independent woman; always lively."
Flora and Marcello never divorced and, supposedly, Flora offered to adopt Marcello and Catherine Deneuve's love child, Chiara, because they were too busy with their careers. Chiara and her older half-sister, Barbara, were very close and Chiara remained at Barbara's side when Barbara died of lung cancer in 2018.

Didn’t we just go through this?

R6 Yes, because Catherine Deneuve had no problem having kids without being married (she had a son with Roger Vadim). I think Faye Dunaway wouldn't have kids without being married and didn't want to be the mistress of a married man forever. Marcello, being catholic, never wanted to divorce his wife even though they were separated since mid 1960s.

Both Marcello and Flora lived their separate lives and had different lovers but Never divorce (The hypocrisy!!) .
Helmut Berger had affairs with both the mother and daughter (Flora and Barbara Mastroianni), even though he was a very good friend with Marcello!

"Mastroianni's first serious relationship after the separation was with Faye Dunaway"
I'm sure you believe that, Faye. Mastroianni was a womanizer x100, and probably had 3-4 "serious relationships" going on at the same time.
