The National Enquirer is reporting that Morgan Freeman is romantically involved with his step-granddaughter E’Dena Hines, and according to a family insider they plan to get married as soon as Freeman’s divorce is final from his wife of 25 years Myrna Colley-Lee. The rumor seems to be supported by Morgan’s recent choice of film roles, which include The Maiden Heist (2009) and this sequel due out in 2010:
From The National Enquirer:
“Myrna said E’Dena told her that when she was a teenager, she and Morgan went to dinner at a friend’s house one evening. Both had been drinking, and when they returned home, Morgan attempted to have sex with her. They stopped just short of having intercourse.”…Myrna confronted Morgan, and he agreed to leave E’Dena alone – but unbeknownst to Myrna, the relationship continued for years, said the source…”It’s not technically incest, because they are not related by blood…[but] Morgan is trying desperately to keep his divorce out of open court so all the shameful facts won’t become public.”
In case you’re confused by all of Morgan’s relationships, here is a rough timeline that should clear things up a tad. (NOTE – the “timeline” only includes information pertinent to Morgan and E’Dena’s relationship. Morgan has a total of four children, fathering sons Alfonso and Saifoulaye as well as daughter Morgana. As far as I know, he’s not dating any of them so I left them off.)
