“Orson told me, it’s unconditional,” Mills said in an interview with People. “If you don’t want to wear it, put it in a drawer. If you want to consider it an engagement ring, that’s up to you.” Bean and Mills were married on April 18, 1993.
The fact that Bean had been married twice before, to Jacqueline de Sibour in 1956 and Carolyn Maxwell in 1965, didn’t overly concern Mills. For his part, Bean told People he loved Mills “on a deep level that I haven’t known since I was a little boy with my mother.”
