Hepburn said that she found Tracy “irresistible” immediately after meeting him. Unfortunately, they had to keep their love a secret. They had a twenty-seven-year-long affair because Tracy, a Catholic, refused to divorce his wife, Louise. It wasn’t until his wife died that Hepburn publicly acknowledged their nearly three-decade affair.
