Courtney Love's Triangle inside the Billy Corgan and Kurt Cobain Drama

When she became involved with Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love was dating Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins in what became one of music's most famous love triangles.

When Cobain and Love met she was already in a torrid romance with Smashing Pumpkins' frontman Billy Corgan, a relationship interrupted by marriage, that would continue after the grunge legend's suicide at the age of 27.

THREE IS A CROWD

Love admitted she'd become fascinated by Cobain when she'd seen him perform live in 1989, and when the opportunity to meet him presented itself, she jumped at it and according to his friends, she pursued him relentlessly.

Cobain's legacy (...) is his daughter, Frances, who has inherited her father's eyes, and his love for both art and music.

CONCEPTION

Love, who has always admitted that she was militantly promiscuous and had earned her living on and off as a stripper, ran into Cobain once again in Minneapolis. The two ended up in bed together, and Love fell pregnant. Love revealed:

“I’d flown there to [expletive] Billy Corgan, who still had lots of hair. I didn’t even know Nirvana were playing that night. Kurt and I wound up at the Northstar."

Love moved on from Corgan, who wasn't always generous -- he refused to pay for her plane tickets -- to Cobain, whose career exploded, making him the world's biggest star overnight. Four months later they married in February 1992.

The brief courtship culminated in the celebrity wedding of the year in Honolulu, Hawaii, with the bride already pregnant with the couple's daughter, Frances Bean Cobain. According to many sources, it was Love who introduced Cobain to heroin.

"He wanted to stay in the apartment and do heroin and paint and play his guitar. That's what he wanted to do."

KURT COBAIN'S LEGACY

Cobain's legacy, apart from his unforgettable music, is his daughter, Frances, who has inherited her father's eyes, and his love for both art and music. She cherishes her father's memory, and was executive producer on HBO's biography "Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck."
