John Warner, a five-term senator from Virginia, onetime secretary of the Navy, and one of seven husbands of Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor, died Tuesday night.
Warner, 94, died of heart failure, according to Politico, which cited an email sent overnight to those within the former senator’s orbit from his longtime chief of staff, Susan Magill.
He oversaw the Navy from 1972-1974 and spent more than 30 years in the Senate from 1979-2009. Warner also served in World War II and the Korean War before becoming the Navy secretary.
Warner was the sixth husband of actress Taylor, and she was his second of three wives.

He was married to Catherine Mellon for 16 years before spending six years in holy matrimony with Taylor. Warner remarried for the final time in 2003 when he and Jeanne Vander Myde tied the knot.
