Tony Curtis' Widow Jill Has Found Love Again after the Actor's Death

The widow of Tony Curtis, Jill, turned her life around at 39 after the demise of the legendary actor and even discovered love once more.

Jill was just 39 when Tony died in September 2010 at 85 years old. In spite of the fact that it was difficult for her to bid farewell to her significant other of over a decade, she comforted herself by knowing he was ready to go.

"I acknowledge the existence of my children, and have intentionally and with full knowledge chosen not to provide for them."

Jill is the sixth and last wife of Tony. The couple initially met in 1993 at an eatery, and they got hitched five years later. Their relationship had raised some eyebrows since Jill was 40 years younger than the actor. Referring to Tony's eldest daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jill told Inside Edition:

"She's been very kind to me, very supportive, and I appreciate that. I know that she's grieving very badly for the loss of her father."

During the interview, Jill shared that Tony left her the bulk of his estimated $60 million wealth. According to her, Tony wanted to ensure she had a decent life. However, a family feud is brewing after the actor excluded his five children.

In his last will and testament, Tony, who accomplished the height of his fame during the 1950s and early 1960s, wrote:

"I acknowledge the existence of my children, and have intentionally and with full knowledge chosen not to provide for them."

Jill said that even though he cut his children out, he left a hefty amount of money for his seven grandkids' education.

"I think he thought that the most important thing he could do to help his children is to leave a substantial amount of money for the education of their children," she explained.

Jill is currently dedicating herself to a non-profit organization called Shiloh, which protects neglected horses. Alongside other members of Shiloh, she saves horses from cruel owners by bringing them to Shiloh Ranch.

Through the organization, she also found Todd Weber, Shiloh's co-ranch owner, ranch foreman, and overseer. The pair fell in love and even tied the knot. They now manage Shiloh Rescue together.
