scandales.Before Brad and Jen, there were Melissa and Rob. In the 80s, their passionate love story captivated America. Yet, behind the perfect smiles, their relationship was marked by several dramatic events.

When Melissa Gilbert met Rob Lowe in the early 80s, she was already famous for her role as Laura Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie. He was one of Hollywood’s most promising young leading men thanks to his appearances in The Outsiders and soon after, as part of the Brat Pack.

It was love at first sight, and their relationship quickly took on the air of a modern-day fairy tale: two young Hollywood stars, beautiful, talented, adored… and madly in love. For several years, they lived a romance of dizzying highs and devastating lows. “Looking back on those six years, I realize I was still very young when Rob and I were together. I was 17, and we last broke up when I was 23, and it was very tumultuous,” she recalled in an interview with People on July 30.

A story marked by instability

A tumultuous relationship explained, in part, by Rob Lowe’s rise to fame. A success that attracted girls, according to the actress. “I don’t think I was prepared for everything that came with it,” she continued. “I was prepared to attend all the premieres, award ceremonies, etc., but I wasn’t prepared for the fan community and, frankly, the girls,” she said. While “it was hard and horrible,” in her words, she emerged from this relationship stronger. “I think I learned a lot about what wasn’t for me, actually, and what I wouldn’t tolerate anymore,” she confessed.

The relationship between Melissa Gilbert and Rob Lowe was anything but smooth. The couple broke up once, got back together, even got engaged… before calling it off. In 1986, when Melissa Gilbert became pregnant, Rob Lowe panicked and ended the relationship. She lost the baby shortly after, a tragic event that left deep scars.
