After the actor’s marriage to Jeannie Lou Moore collapsed in 1982—thanks to his flourishing career which alienated him from his family—he was reluctant to love again until he met Kingsberg. As the story goes, Linda and Ernie met the same year he parted with his first wife.
While they were attracted to each other, the actor was reluctant to pursue a serious relationship. This was not only because of his first marriage that failed, but also because of the fact that Linda is white. He was concerned about how they would get along as an interracial couple.
But then, what they feel for each other was so strong they ignored what people thought of them and got married. This was on the 25th of May 1985: they have been married for 40 years and happily so.
