• Losses - Sir Tom Jones' wife dies
  • Lives: Tom Jones, a widower for five days, has come back lovers

Unless one likes the English picaresque novel very much, when the name of Tom Jones appears, the first person you think of is not the character of Henry Fielding -exposite and liating-, but the Tiger of Wales, that at 80 years of age he has already lost the mordant of his years of fulfillment, but not his halo as one of the most well-known and transversal figures in pop history. The thing about the Tiger of Wales is explained by his roaring voice, by his claw on stage, by that animal ferocity that appeared in each of the hits he popularized - from Delilah to It's not Unusual -, but you can also get a sharp one sexual tip, Because in the same way that Tom Jones has been a feline on stage, he has also been frolicking on mattresses.

Married to Melinda Trenchard in 1957, the story of their marriage - ended in 2016, when she passed away from cancer - is one of the most tumultuous in entertainment history, especially since he was consistently unfaithful from almost the first moment. , with no regret on his part or Linda's willingness to divorce. At his peak as a hit singer, Tom Jones never missed any opportunity to sleep with groupies, fans, or showbiz colleagues , and has come to confirm that there were seasons - between the 1960s and '80s - when he could add up to 250 lovers. year. However, he was quick to specify, "I have only loved one woman in my life." For him, sex was one thing and love was another. Love did not share it with anyone. Neither did his wife comfort him much.

The marriage with Linda was accidental - a penalty, as was said before - but apparently fueled by that true love that we said. The first fruit was the only legal and recognized son of Tom Jones, Mark Woodwad, and although it is possible that in multiple years of infidelity and plunder, he had generated the odd bastard, the only case that came to court was in the 80s, when one of his lovers, the model Katherine Berkery, denounced him to acknowledge the paternity of his son Jonathan. After conclusive DNA testing and several appeals, Tom Jones had to admit that the son was his, although he refused to acknowledge him as legitimate and to speak to him.

Of most of these dirty laundry - including some fights with his wife when she discovered some specific infidelity, such as the one he carried out with Marjorie Wallace , Miss World in 1973 - there is hardly any evidence in the memories published by Tom Jones in 2015, a text described by the critic as self-indulgent and cowed, but details have been known both in press interviews and in confessions of those interested. In any case, since we are talking about thousands of women -a more specific catalog of Don Giovanni de Da Ponte, or Pipi Estrada-, we will never know the complete list or the most delicious details of each affair.

What we do know is that fame, success and wealth - so obscene that it has allowed him to live for almost 40 years in a mansion in Los Angeles, which he moved to in 1974 to avoid paying taxes in Britain - have They have watered Tom Jones' life and have filled her with luxuries and pleasures. He has been a volcanic performer and a bandit lover who honors, of course, the title of one of his most famous hits, the highly symbolic Sex Bomb.
