And to think how much I admired and liked this actor. Hes been a favorite for years. have you heard about this with Morgan Freeman? you know when I was a child there was a wonderful actress, Gloria Graham, that married her step son after a divorce. It ruined her career.
It's being reported that actor Morgan Freeman, 72, has intentions of marrying E'Dena Hines, his 27-year-old step-granddaughter, once his divorce is finalized.
Family sources claim that the affair between Morgan and E'Dena has been on-going for nearly 10 years. This is the young woman, who,
Freeman and his wife (they are now separated, set to divorce) Myrna, 68,raised since she was a young child. I get that there is no blood relation but seriously,
how, at 72, can you want to be with a woman so young (*shudder*) and who has been raised as YOUR GRANDCHILD (*double shudder*)?
Freeman, once his divorce is final, will wed the young woman. Morgan has led her to believe that he wants to marry her, said a family insider.
Becoming Mrs. Morgan Freeman has been E'Dena's goal.
Freeman's estranged wife admits she and Morgan have not slept together for several years and they had an open marriage,both having other partners during the course of their marriage. However, Morgan allegedly having s*x with E'Dena as a teen
(and Myrna finding out about it later), and then the two continuing with a relationship, was too much for Myrna and she apparently
thought that that crossed a line, and filed for divorce. Um, ya I'd say a very, very, very big line was crossed!
You know, if a couple want to have an open marriage, then hey, whatever floats your boat. I just don't get how you can be romantically
involved with someone you have known as a child, they are family (blood or not, CREEPY), and are considered your granddaughter. Can you imagine their family get togethers? AWKWARD.

responses and comments:
that is pretty weird, I've always admired Freeman as an actor, but as I told another person, I may not admire the person I can still enjoy the roles [ElicBxn]
yes i still think hes a good actor but i will probably never look at his "good person" roles believably any more. [bunnybon7]
I love Morgan Freeman as a actor. He is great. But I guess what you say has alot of truth in it. But I guess alot goes on behind actors/actresses doors that we don' know or will never know about that we might think as weird and totally nuts and off their rocker...shocked He is at the age now where he wouldn't have to worry about his acting career cause if it did flush..he'd still be wealthy enough to carry on till he passed away.Where you hear this news at? [mtdewgurl74]
I know nobody is perfect..and we all do wrong..what one think is okay another thinks of as wrong it happens everywhere..But maybe it is wise not to marry his first wife's granddaughter. [mtdewgurl74]
He's getting on a bit, who knows what he was going to leave his, er, step-grandaughter in his will? Not as much as whoever he's married to at the time he pops his clogs, I'll be bound... I see dollar signs in her eyes, and a twinkle in his. A lot worse has happened in life - but Norfolk's not as well known as Hollywood. Best of luck to the old goat, say I.rasp [jazzsue58]
i think you've got that totally right. as to both their ideas [bunnybon7]
h bunnybon this is really horrid and explains why I felt so sick when in my geneaology searchs I found out that the two girls whom my mom refused to have in our house were actually' illegitimate children from my father and the soon to be bride'of my half brother,his son from a first marriage. The info I got made'me feel repulsed and sick.while my dad was in a second marriage with a mary hall,they had a dutch girl working for them named netty.wellseems that mary hall was barren.so my dad and this Netty had two illegitmate girls. then later my half brother married this same netty and they had five kids of their own and took in the two illegitmate girls my dad had sired. but my mom whowas also inthe household as a servant knew all this and still mArried him.she was his third wife.Iknew about the first marriage and of course his marriage to my own mom but not about the second one or the secret of the two girls. this really upset me but I hAd to forget it as most all the people involved are now dead. But I felt oh gross when I first read it. [Hatley]
shocked oh my Hatley! have you ever heard that old poem called "Im my own grandpa"?lol thats what i thought of reading about freeman then your post. rolleyes [bunnybon7]
Hi BUNNYBON Wow I didn't here anything about that! I really like Morgan Freeman I been watching him since the Electric Company. Is he seriously trying to pull a Woody ALLEN? (For those of you who may not know Woody Allen was having an affair with his adopted step daughter that he and Mia Farrow adopted)she was much younger than he was as well but I don't think the age difference was a big as Morgan Freemans is)Well if this is true I guess Morgan likes em young! [Cherryd41]
thats what i saidlol i said i've thought he was kind of HOT even for his age, but since i heard this i thought geesh, im way to old for his tasteblush [bunnybon7]
hiya Bon This is horrible, shocking news! and has totally shattered my visions of this man that i considered a great actor and person. I don't normally consider age and also know that they are not blood related, but there must've been a lot of heart-ache for other people related in this matter. I'm not sure if I will view him with the same feelings again. Alice sad [Aliceinwebland]
hiya Bon I heard that they may not marry after all! http://blogs.babble.com/famecrawler/2009/07/12/morgan-freeman-not-marrying-his-granddaughter/ [Aliceinwebland]
yuk thats so disgusting.. reminds me of the othe case when the hollywood director Woody Harelson married his adopted daughter.. Men like these are disgusting and the so called daughters that do this are beyond sick in the head... In my country this would seem like some voodoo ritual bent on keeping them rich forever. Usually when one goes to a witch doctor to ask for how to be rich they usually tell you to sleep with your daughter or marry your daughter. yuk am puking all over the place just reading that.. its beyond revolting..thumbdown [jellymonty]
i'll say. its so hard to imagine how some men (and now and then women) can stomache to do such things and still sleep at night. [bunnybon7]
Hi bunnybon7, To me that is sick, its almost like incest and pediafile all put together, and double shudder and double creeps to me, I have never liked him anyway. Tamara [tamarafireheart]
hey tamara. yep thats true YUK! with the capital Y. i didnt know there was anyone that didnt like him before thisshocked [bunnybon7]
When I google this, I can only find sources like "the enquirer" that tell this story. I'm wondering how true this is. I found stories on his divorce and a story on a car accident in which he was riding with a 48 year old woman that was not his wife. The step-grand daughter story didn't appear on any reputable sites. Where did you see this story? [rocketj1]
a friend sent me the link in email. i put the link in the second responders answer here. [bunnybon7]
Wow! That is gross. I think something should have been done about this. Your telling me noone knew about this prior (after 10 years)?. If shes 27 now that would of made her 17 ish when this started of eligible started. Shouldnt he be charged with statitory rape or sex with a minor? Just because he is or was famous doesnt give him the right to get away with such acts. I feel sorry for her - honestly. Becoming Mrs. Morgan Freeman has been E'Dena's goal. She had a goal to become his wife. Was it for money or for the simple title of being his show and tell toy?. Something is seriously wrong with both of them. [Ricki911]
im not upset about the age difference. that doesnt bother me as much as the fact that he raised this child. therefore you just wonder how long hes been fooling around with her. now if it was younger than 17, then yes, id say thats just nasty and whos going to ever know? [bunnybon7]
WOW!! Thats about all I can say. It is kind of creepy, when did he stop looking at her as his granddaugter, ewwwww. [Polly1]
thats what i wonder and also, could she be blackmailing him into marriage if it was when she was way to young? just makes you look at him like a predator now, huh? eeewww is right. [bunnybon7]
That is just nasty! I don't care about age differences but when a young person was raised as your grandchild...it really doesn't matter about bloodline at all. That is just a technicality. It is like turning your granddaughter into your lover and that is just wrong. Reminds me of Woody Allen's story...I never looked at the man the same after he began dating his adopted daughter. (is that what she was to him?...I really can't remember.) [sid556]
yes thats what woody did. it was his adopted daughter [bunnybon7]
I can't believe that either. I like being a great actor and that's all. i just can't believe he did that. I also have a step-daughter and at age 2, we already live together with her mom as family. Now she is 17 and I hope i will never do or that will happen to us. It's so unbelievable and so hard for the mother to accept. [neildc]
every time i think theres a good guy, i find out its not sosad [bunnybon7]
OOOOooooh! That is just gross! And I really enjoyed his work too! I am glad you let me know and that I am no aware. This is my description of a pervert. Ghee. She actually thought that had crossed a line. Like a sound barrier or something? Sorry. Just trying to be funny. AND IT ISN"T! It is down right gross!! AWKWARD? Not happening I am thinking. [celticeagle]
And it all seems to fit with what I read on the gossip sheets online too. Ugly business. [celticeagle]
Hey BON, I KNOW U HAVE HEARD THE OLD SAYING 'THERE'S NO FOOL LIKE AN OLD FOOL.' I think this fits this situation perfectly. Have a great sunday. [ANTIQUELADY]
men*(^&*^&%^%$%^ explains it all, silly old men especially.rolleyes [ANTIQUELADY]
Hi bunnybon, in a few years ago,I heard a similar news as you aboved.A 82-year-old scientist married with a 28-year-old woman. It's also pretty controversial. the scientist believes although he is old, he maintains a youthful spirit. maybe we should respect them because they're brave. [Ivy_mole]
age is not the problem. her being raised by him is the sick part. [bunnybon7]
Yes I agree to you how can old man marrying the young lady that consider to be his granddaughter. It is ridiculous and awkward everybody going to judge them. Morgan Freeman is a good actor but I don't like him personally. Sometimes it's hard to know if he has or she has a hidden agenda for marrying each other. [agv0419]
yes its quite gross for sure. [bunnybon7]
OH Yucky. I still like his acting but this is not the kind of man I would look up to. I think they no doubt will not have very many family get togethers. [muscles4me]
i would imagine they would be ashamed to show their face much at family get togethers or even their houses. [bunnybon7]
Haha....I understand you being totally grossed out by this. I also am, I swear. But like most people here, I needed to investigate first. We just can't believe one story of a person you know. But if in case this really is the truth, well, I guess we'll just let them be. Gross yes, but it's their life. But honestly, Freeman is too old to still be making news like these.....*shaking my head* [Theresaaiza]
thats true. shame on him and her. [bunnybon7]
I don't see anything wrong with marrying someone younger than your age. However, when it involves third-party affairs and starts ruining your family, that's bad. But, who are we to judge anyway? [al2fenrir]
well yes thats true. but we do often judge ones we are supposed be able to look up to for our kids sake. [bunnybon7]
That does seem weird. I think your right about the family get togethers being very awkward. [JenInTN]
yes i dont think id want to show my facelol if i was them [bunnybon7]
Hey bunny! I'm definitely with you on this one! I think that creepy definitely would describe this relationship and then I would add disgusting! I don't think this is going to help his career much! The age difference, the whole step-grandaughter situation is beyond gross! What is wrong with him? How could he have been with this child since she was 17? That's statutory rape! How does he have the nerve to marry her? Has he lost his friggen mind? [Opal26]
maybe hes got sinile? dementia or somethingsad [bunnybon7]
Hi there bunnybon7 I have not as yet heard this news until now and it is so, so wrong on many levels. You say that 'how, at 72, can you want to be with a woman so young' well I don't understand how a woman of that age would want to be a man his age! It is very wrong that even though they are not blood related they have a grandfather - granddaughter relationship. Wrong, wrong, wrong!! I don't think that he must have decided that he is going to retire from acting now as I am sure he isn't going to get much work after this. [Humbug25]
Oh my is this true??shocked Suddenly I felt disappointment glareon Freeman and I'm going to erase him from my list of good actors in Hollywood. I thought he was respectable but with this plan of getting married to his grandchild, yeah, it's creepy and disgusting. It's even more disgusting to the grandchild calling your granpa suddenly your hubby? Ugh..doh I can't imagine why Freeman has to do it. He is already an established actor and I'm sure he'll find someone more appropriate with his age to be his wife. I think the grandchild could be after the money too. Could be. [iskayz]
What image could she after forblink?? She made a bad image for herself and Freeman already. I hope the marriage won't push through. It would be a bad move for Freeman and that might destroy his career.sad [iskayz]
I have always been a Morgan Freeman fan and thought he was a good actor. Although this story doesn't change the fact that he is still a good actor I don't think I can look at him the same way after reading this story. The age difference while weird and a little hard to believe isn't what troubles me as much as the fact that this girl even though not blood related was raised as his granddaughter. When did she become something other than a granddaughter? If Morgan Freeman was seeing her as a possible mate instead of his granddaughter when she was 17, I think he has a serious problem. I also believe like someone already posted, that she is probably seeing the almighty dollar..... [Oceanblueeyes]
yes its just so hard to figure out how some people thinkthumbdown all wrong [bunnybon7]
I just know Morgan freeman as an actor, but i never know he has such a weird and creepy plan and intention. If this is not happened to him, maybe to someone else, the newspaper head title '72 year old man married his step granddaughter', This is just ridiculous. As yous said the relationship has been on for nearly 10 years, this means that Morgan freeman hit on his own granddaughter when she was 17?? Even they have no blood connected, but it just creepy! Morgan freeman is not my favorite actor, but i watch a lot of his movie. but now, I feel gross, whenever i see him, i can't forget the matter about him with his granddaughter. it just gross and weird!! [de_angel97]
i also never knew much about his personal life. i actually thought he was religious. never dreamed he'd do that. [bunnybon7]
glarehello bunny bon, They're Celebrities alright. they maybe good in their roles in recent movies but there's always a real big difference in real life. just like this one. it's their life, no matter how immoral and disgusting it maybe. it's both of their fault because they're into this open marriage that destroyed the last bit of that marriage...sad [LetranKnight25]
yes a lot of people cant deal with such things and should not try it. causes to much trouble [bunnybon7]
Hi bunnybon7, I too am disappointed. Celebrities and public figures have an obligation to maintain certain moral standards, because when they portray good characters, people try to emulate the character. Somehow people stop differentiating between their screen image and personal image. Because of this, they do have to forego many pleasures that we mortals have, like being at beaches without mob, and eating at some small place. Having said that, let us remember v r all animals. We carry the same characteristics as the animals. Animals are not confined to these limits as nature tries to improve each animal's chances of survival through permutations and combinations. We humans have developed some code of conduct and we expect others to remain within them. Such things will happen, as will incests, rapes, and pedophilic behavior. They are part and parcel of our animal origin. My heart goes out to his wife, who must have done her duty and still stands to face this fate. [vandana7]
well, i feel bad for his wife also. she may not have been perfect but he could have chosen a more logical young thing if thats what he wanted if his wife did not live up to his standards.sad [bunnybon7]
I used to hold him in such high regard as an actor--and I suppose he is still a very good actor but I can never look at him in the same way again. I don't usually let public figures' personal lives color my view of them but this is way beyond what is acceptable to me--he's a PEDOPHILE!!! Lusting after his granddaughter, blood relation or not, is sick. Especially since he helped to raise her. I wish you hadn't posted this, I'll never see him in a role again that I don't think of his sick perversion. sad [dragon54u]
oh so sorry dragonsad i couldnt help myself. i guess im just a bad gossip monger nowthumbdown its the first thing i thought tho, wondering if others knew anything about it. i think hes went into keeping his personal life hid now. as i havent seen anything else about him for a while. [bunnybon7]
That is disgusting. I can't imagine someone doing something like that. But I suppose that actor's think they can get away with anything including sex with a minor. I don't even want to imagine the family reunion's. That make's me think of the old song about I am my own grandpa. In this case, if they had kid's. he would be the great grandfather of his own child?? lolblink [youngpatrol]
oh and a second childhood song/poem.."Im A Nut!"lol remember that one? [bunnybon7]
what the??! I just can't believe this is real...hmm...I think I just don't agree with the relationship like that...i agree with you sooo GROSS!!! [becdmd]
i knowsad and he even played a very convincing GOD in one rolerolleyes [bunnybon7]
Morgan is not the first. Woody Allen started it all many moons ago. The chances of getting close to someone who is a step son or daughter is very real. Similarly felling with a friend's wife is also dead easy. Ryan fell in love with Farah. As I do not get involved in the private affairs of consenting adults, I do not view Freeman's liaisons as anything shuddering or shocking. We just have to accept it. Perhaps, he will lose some fans by his conduct but after sometimes, people forget or forgive................ [jonjee0203]
i think that may be why he tries to stay out of the spotlight so much. who knew he was like this as the parts he usually plays are of the good guy type. [bunnybon7]
I haven't heard anything about that. I doubt he is too worried about his career at his age. You know, it didn't really seem to do much to Woody Allen's career, did it? Is this the woman that was in that car accident with him? I wonder about that young woman wanting to be with such an old man. [Ruthep]
well you are probably right about him not worrying much about his career at his age. i never cared much for woody allen in the first place so im not sure about him being very popular anyway. but, i know until now, Freeman has been almost everyones/or one of their favorite. [bunnybon7]
Whats the big deal? she's only related by marraige not by blood. he has broken no laws (unlike FAR to many hollywood type) & if the girl is in it for the money - he isnt stupid - he probably knows and either doesnt care or has planned for it. as for his marraige; even his wife said it was basically a sham for many years - the reason she finally wanted the divorce wasnt because he was with someone else (SHe said they Both had other partners)it was more a matter of it being public now & probably didnt like that in the least bit. besides if she divorces him she can do her damnest to clean out his bank account before the new wife gets her hands on his money. the shame of the whole thing is that a bunch of prudes will be vocal about him and forget what an amazing talented man he is. besides if a man his age can keep a young woman happy-- good for him!! (good for her too lol) [cometkatt]
perhaps if he was actually had a big part in raising her- i would be more uncomfortable, but being a genealogist i see where WAY to many people have married first cousins and That i think is whats gross. have a great day [cometkatt]
Stranger things have happen. Stuff like this happens to us regular people too. I just dont get why when a celebrety or a polotican does it, it suddenly seems so strange and gossipy. Everyone is entitled to their private lives no matter how twisted things get. As long as nobody was breaking the law....whatever!!! [jdyrj777]
you are so right on that part, once she was grown. [bunnybon7]
Ummmm, yeah, that is DISGUSTING and I've totally lost all respect I had for him. I was just talking about him the other day too. Wow, I can't believe that. There are definetly some sick individuals out there. I'm cringing at the thought. I hope he never gets a job again. What a sicko! [Stephanie5]
yep, but he is to popular now and will probably go on getting jobs and acting. [bunnybon7]
I am not sure why it bothers you so much, they both are adult and grown up. They are not saints who someone has to look up to define their moral codes. Law gives them the right to live the life of their choice and how do we know what they share between themselves and may be there is care and understanding between them. I guess we should avoid gossiping and let them live their lives as they wish to. [mansha]
NOW they are both adult, but the report says she may not have been. also, this is what they give up when people become famous. its the sacrifice they make by having people gossip and be up in their business!!rasp [bunnybon7]
I think that is pretty tacky, his step granddaughter?????? And to have been having an on going thing since she was 17,how disgsting. I am sure there are many women his age or close to his age that he could have had a fling with, but compared to his age a CHILD. I am sure she has called him daddy or poppa at some point. Some men do not think with their minds. I will be looking at him in a different way from now on. the yound lady probably has not had much experience with other men, since he has been with her since she was a teenager. Bad move Morgan!!!!!!! [sudalunts]
there you gorasp my feelings exactly. it wouldnt be so bad to me that shes young. the relationship to his wife and his through raising her is the shame [bunnybon7]
shades of woody allen.. that's nasty. i suppose technically she's only related by marriage,but still..he definetly should have had some decorum there.besides the fact she's quite a bit his junior. [scarlet_woman]
thats how i see it. he could have chosen a non related persay, young gal [bunnybon7]
I would ahte the believe this is true, it seems so unethical. like most of you I also admire him as an actor and I don't know if that will change but I don't like hearing this about him. [lumenmom]
i dont either but i couldnt resist discussing itsad [bunnybon7]
I have read other information that this is just rumor and not true. That these rumors are based on the "mysterious" woman in the car with Mr Freeman when he had his accident (after which the divorce was filed). And that these rumors have floated around before and have not been substantiated. I never believe what I read anymore or even what I hear on the news until I have seen the facts in several places. So much crap going around out there. Here is where I found the other side of this rumor: www.blogher.com/morgan-freeman-does-msn-link-make-it-real-news [quinnkl]
i guess i only have the reports of one news source but usually when something comes out like this a few years later we find it was truesad [bunnybon7]
I always said that if I wanted to be rich, I should marry a 70-80 yr old man, with one foot in the grave, and having alot of money....but I don't think it would be my step grandfather...Eech!doh [Sweetchariot]
lol exactly. well said. [bunnybon7]
i dont think that i can bear this kind of relationship.just to think about it a little bit will make me gooseflesh on both of my arms.its not rare that old celebrities marry very young maidens on the old and somehow disgusting excuse of LOVE. [flzmlady]
as i've said many times, more power to them if its their way but its the idea shes kind of related...eeeewww! he raised her. [bunnybon7]
i don't understand it either but why would a young girl want an old man or a young man wanting an old woman?i guess that is why we are all different [anniefannie]
yes i like the fact there are so many interesting people different than me but i dont like the implications of this man being with a girl he raised from a childrolleyes [bunnybon7]
