By all accounts, theirs was a loveless marriage, an arrangement based on Blake's devotion to his baby daughter and Bakley’s opportunism. (In a truly bizarre taped conversation between the couple, Bakley tried to get him to “admit” that he wanted to sell the baby for $100,000.) They did not even share a home — she lived in a guesthouse on the property of her 67-year-old husband’s Studio City estate.
