Personal life

Beck had three daughters with Gordon Getty, Nicolette, Kendalle and Alexandra.[1]

In August 1999, Getty's "secret second family" in Los Angeles became public knowledge as a result of Cynthia Beck having a court hearing on behalf of her three daughters, seeking the possibility for them to change their surname to Getty and be able to seek to claim a share in the Getty family fortune.[1][2]

In 2019, it was reported that her "longtime companion" was Girard Damien Saenz, with whom she co-owned some properties.[3]

Property ownership

Beck owns at least 20 houses in the Los Angeles area, with many of the homes in run-down or derelict condition.[4][5] She owns an "abandoned" beach front house at Paradise Cove in Malibu, next to the home of John McEnroe and his wife Patty Smyth, bought from Getty in September 1991 for $3 million.[4]

Beck owns a "neglected" three-acre estate in Beverly Hills.[5] She owns a four-bedroom house in West Sunset Boulevard jointly with Girard Damien Saenz.[5]

In May 2019, police raided a house that Beck owns in Bel-Air and arrested her "longtime companion" Girard Damien Saenz, and seized over 1,000 guns.[3][5] 30 law enforcement personnel needed over 12 hours to remove all the weapons.[3]
