Eric fell in love with Pattie and dedicated his 1970 album with Derek and the Dominos, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, to her.
She originally rejected his advances but finally moved in with him in 1979. Her new life with Eric, in yet another mansion, took on an eerily familiar pattern.
She subjugated her life to his claiming that to keep up with him she took marijuana, uppers, downers, cocaine, even heroin, and became an alcoholic as she tried to keep up with his drinking.
In 1985, soon after Eric Clapton had played at the first Live Aid concert, he met Lori del Santo, an actress.

Yet she still clung on to their marriage, even after Lori gave birth to a son, Conor, the following year.
Eric would come home to Pattie after visiting him, bursting with fatherly pride. At the time, Pattie was going through IVF.
They divorced in 1989 on the grounds of ‘infidelity and unreasonable behaviour’. Two years later, Conor died when he fell from a 53rd-floor window in Manhattan and Pattie was still there for Eric.
Despite her marital woes, Pattie’s career, which began as a model in 1962, was a huge success story.
In 2024 Boyd published her autobiography, which includes some of her photographs, and it debuted at the top of the New York Times Best Seller list.
In February this year, Boyd gathered a remarkable collection of negatives together of her life with her famous friends and husbands for an exhibit at the at the San Francisco Art Exchange.
