Rogers’ Home in Oklahoma co-star Dale Evans was his third partner. There is a plaque in the museum dedicated to her, and her name appears on the tag. Evans had a child from a previous relationship, but as an actress, she had to hide the fact that she was an unmarried mother. According to 20th Century Fox, Tommy was her younger brother.

The two would marry on New Year’s Eve 1947, and Rogers would turn Evans into a good wife. The couple tied the knot at the ranch where the film Home in Oklahoma was filmed as a tribute to their first date, which took place there. After that, they had a daughter, Robin Elizabeth, who died at the age of two from complications related to Down syndrome. Angel Unaware, a novel written by Evans in the child’s name, was later published.
