BELLADONNA
The saying goes that you never forget your first love and Belladonna certainly fulfilled that role with Gambit.
They were in love since they were children and, although Gambit had his share of flings with other women,
there was no doubt that they would be married. Unfortunately, it was arranged to bring about the peace
between thieves and assassins, two warring guilds that made the Montagues and Capulets look positively
amicable.
Julien, Belladonna's brother who had certain unnatural feelings towards her, challenged Gambit on his wedding
day and was supposedly killed in the ensuing duel. However, because the peace between the two guilds was
so fragile, Gambit was exiled and he thought he would never see Belladonna again.
With that in mind, he decided to move on with his life and fell (unexpectedly) in love with Rogue.
(For more info, why not read our Belladonna bio and our Gambit history?)
ROGUE
Rogue is, according to most fans, the one true love of Gambit's life. And, in true Shakespearean style, the
course of true love never did run smooth for this couple. Rogue's powers - the vampiric ability to suck the soul
out of a person - prevent the tactile Gambit from ever touching her, while his caginess makes it difficult for her
to trust him.
Then, of course, there are the multiple issues that arise out of both of them having had shady and
unpleasant pasts.
As a result, although they are in love and both acknowledge it openly, their relationship is rocky and they spend
as much time apart and broken up as they do together. However, when they do get it right and they are a
couple, the chemistry and the magic between them is a thing of beauty.

THE OTHER WOMEN
The other women in Gambit's life included:
- Candra - a powerhungry, oversexed and infamously bored immortal
- Sekhmet Conoway - a naive archaelogist with a genius-level intellect and a secret belief in romance. In her case, however, the attraction was completely one-sided. Gambit only saw her as a "sweet kid".
- Andrea Strucker (Half of Fenris!) - an over-the-top, brash villainess who was one of the Upstarts
- Sister Katrina - a novice on the brink of taking her final vows who was undergoing a crisis of faith
- Minnie - a woman Gambit rescued from an evil crimelord who had stolen her heart (literally)
- Alexandra Davies - an English policewoman who found herself torn between Remy and her job
- Spat - a bounty hunter who saved Remy from being deaged only to end up regressing to childhood herself through her deed
- Genevieve Darceneaux - a jewel thief he wooed in order to rob of l'Etoile de Tricherie with the tragic result that she was killed by Sabretooth
- Claire deLuc - a waitress with whom Gambit spent some time in a podunk town after he was exiled from New Orleans
