“In Dallas, romance never stayed simple for long.” — Dallas relationships guide

This page tracks the major romantic and sexual pairings across Dallas, organised by number of partners so it’s easier to browse than a single long list. J.R. Ewing tops the chart by a wide margin, but plenty of other familiar names built their own tangled histories along the way.

29 Top total: J.R. Ewing
