Rita Hayworth's Children: All About Her Daughters Yasmin and Rebecca
Golden Age actress Rita Hayworth was married five times, but it was her two children, daughters Rebecca Welles and Yasmin Aga Khan, for whom her love endured.
“She was just a wonderful mother,” Yasmin told Fox News in 2018. “So loving, so caring ... I just remember her as a loving, loving mother.”
Recalling days spent on the golf course with Hayworth, she added: “I had a wonderful childhood.”
Rita first became a mom in December 1944 with the birth of her daughter Rebecca, whom she shared with actor and director Orson Welles. Five years later, having split from Welles and married her third husband, Prince Aly Salomone Khan, she welcomed Princess Yasmin Aga Khan.
Yasmin served as her mother’s caretaker for the last six years of her life and was vocal about the bond she shared with the movie star, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 1981.
“We had a close mother-daughter relationship filled with mutual respect and love,” she wrote in a cover story for PEOPLE following Hayworth’s May 1987 death. “My sense of responsibility and duty to my mother was strong."
Here is everything to know about Rita Hayworth’s children, Rebecca and Yasmin.

For Orson Welles aficionados, the life of Rebecca Welles, his daughter with screen siren Rita Hayworth, is shrouded in mystery.
Rebecca Welles, who died on October 17, 2004, led a far more private life than her celebrity parents.
She spent much of her adult life in Tacoma, Washington. She declined to be interviewed by Barbara Leaming for a 1989 book on Hayworth, even though Leaming had penned a largely sympathetic biography of Welles a few years earlier. Her most revealing comments about her parents appeared in a seldom seen January 1972 Roto article.
Rebecca Welles was delivered by Caesarian section at a Santa Monica hospital on December 17, 1944. In her moving book In My Father’s Shadow, Chris Welles Feder recalls her half-sister’s arrival. “She was a cute baby who smiled, gurgled and looked exactly like our father.”
