Ed Gein was born on August 27, 1906. Adeline Watkins, who claimed to have dated Ed Gein, stated in a 1957 interview that they had a relationship lasting about 20 years. However, she later retracted her statements, saying their relationship was more of a friendship and they only interacted socially, occasionally going to the theater. Their last known date was reportedly in 1955 when Ed Gein was about 48 or 49 years old, and Adeline was 50 at the time of her claims. So, Ed Gein was in his late 40s when he last dated or had social outings with Adeline Watkins, although the nature and duration of their relationship remain somewhat ambiguous and contested.
