Her second husband was the producer [[Alexander Paal]], who had assisted her in her escape from Hungary in 1948. They divorced in 1951.
 
She acquired British citizenship through her third marriage to English theatrical publicity agent William "Bill" Wordsworth in 1952. Wordsworth was the great-great-grandson of the poet of the same name.<ref name=LATimes/> That marriage fell apart, with him claiming that she had deserted him within a month of their marriage, to move to Rome to make a movie in 1952, but the divorce was not finalised until 7 March 1955, with Bartok not contesting Wordsworth's application.<ref name=NYT1>{{cite web |title= Eva Bartok Divorced |work=[[The New York Times]]|date= 8 March 1955 |url= https://www.nytimes.com/1955/03/08/archives/eva-bartok-divorced.html?searchResultPosition=2 |access-date= 16 November 2021}}</ref>
 
She met the British aristocrat [[David Mountbatten, 3rd Marquess of Milford Haven]], at a London dinner in 1952.<ref>{{cite web |title= Eva Bartok |work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date= 17 August 1998 |url= https://variety.com/1998/scene/people-news/eva-bartok-1117882434/ |access-date= 3 November 2021}}</ref><ref name=AP/> They embarked on a high-profile relationship that lasted for several years. Romaine, Marchioness of Milford Haven, cited Bartok in her divorce petition.<ref>{{cite web |title= David, 3rd Marquess of Milford Haven |publisher= Lord Mountbatten of Burma |url= https://www.lordmountbattenofburma.com/copy-of-master-6|access-date= 29 January 2022}}</ref> Mountbatten was prominent part in the London demi-monde of the 1950s, which brought together a colourful mix of aristocrats and shadowy social climbers, such as osteopath [[Stephen Ward]].
 
Her relationship with Mountbatten ended after Bartok began a relationship with German actor [[Curd Jürgens]] when they acted in a movie together in Germany. Amidst great media interest, she married Jürgens on 13 August 1955 in [[Schliersee]], Germany.<ref name=NYT2>{{cite web |title= Eva Bartok Wed to Actor |work=[[The New York Times]]|date= 14 August 1955 |url= https://www.nytimes.com/1955/08/14/archives/eva-bartok-wed-to-actor.html?searchResultPosition=3 |access-date= 16 November 2021}}</ref> It was Jürgens's third marriage. They divorced on 6 November 1956. Shortly after her marriage to Jürgens had ended, Bartok gave birth to a daughter, Deana, in London, on 7 October 1957.<ref name=IE>{{cite news|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/ie/daily/19980519/13950424.html|work=[[The Indian Express]]|title=Sinatra's secret child speaks out|date=19 May 1998}}{{dead link|date=June 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |first= Bruce |last= Emond |title= The Star Who Came to Jakarta |work= [[The Jakarta Post]] |url= http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/10/23/the-star-who-came-jakarta.html |date=23 October 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120206224525/http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/10/23/the-star-who-came-jakarta.html|archive-date=6 February 2012}}</ref>
 
Three decades later, Bartok claimed Deana's biological father was actually [[Frank Sinatra]], as a result of a very brief affair in 1956 with him, following the break-up of Sinatra's marriage to [[Ava Gardner]].<ref name=ct940817>{{cite news |title= British woman, 36, claims she is Sinatra's daughter |publisher= [[Chicago Tribune]] |page= 2 |date= 17 August 1994|url= https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/access/24120284.html?dids=24120284:24120284&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT |access-date= 29 April 2012}}</ref><ref name=IE /> Bartok had first met Frank Sinatra at a party while she was in Hollywood in 1955, while appearing in the film ''[[Ten Thousand Bedrooms]]'', alongside [[Dean Martin]].<ref name=AP/> Sinatra never acknowledged that he was the father.
