Indeed, for someone who is famous for being an uncommunicative loner, Dylan has a crazy eventful romantic life. You suspect he is only able to juggle his lovers so well because his rootless lifestyle allows him to keep various lovers separate from each other.
For some time he has taken a liking to voluptuous, maternal women, mostly black. 'Bob has a thing for African women,' confirms Howard Sounes, author of the respected Dylan biography Down The Highway.
He has a daughter, Desiree, known as Desi, who is now 23 and is pictured here for the first time. She is his child by Carolyn Dennis, once his backing singer, married to him in June 1986.
Dylan managed to keep this second marriage and existence of a child completely secret for 15 years, setting the loyal Dennis up in a home in a Los Angeles suburb and visiting discreetly. Not even her neighbours noticed anything.
After six years, they were quietly separated. Desi is currently a member of The Young Americans, a travelling troupe who take music, theatre, dance and concerts to schools around the world.
