Eva Duarte was a loose woman and might have been a prostitute. Juan Peron apparently fell in love with her.

One of the things I liked about the movie EVITA was how it handled her probable prostitution phase in the Another Suitcase in Another Hall tango montage.
You’re thinking of Goodnight and Thank You, the song between Another Suitcase in Another Hall which has Magaldi throwing Evita out and A New Argentina, where she meets Peron. Eva apparently had quote a few lovers during that time, but whether they paid her or not is unclear.
I have vague recollections of a short lived sitcom a few years ago on ABC with Jonathan Silverman’s lead character falling in love with Kelly Hu’s character who worked in a “massage parlor”. The show was quite blatant about what was going on in the parlor, and I think they even met there (or re-met there, they’d previously gone to school together or something like that).
Thank you for all the suggestions, I appreciate it.
If you define prostitute as a woman who is paid to have sex, there is a relationship between assassin John Rain, and a woman who seduces targets for Israeli intelligence, that spans multiple novels by Barry Eisler. Highly recommended.
Idiocracy, I believe. Isn’t Maya Rudolph’s character a hooker?
No. To me the tango montage between 1:50-2:20 implies (without stating) actual prostitution. By Goodnight and Thank You she’s more courtesan and opportunistic relationships than an actual money-for-sex prostitute.
I almost mentioned Lonesome Dove. Gus certainly loves Lorena although he’s not in love with her the way he is with Clara.
While Fonda’s character’s did leave Cheyenne with few regrets. It was not quite the case with Stewart’s character. There was clearly something there.
The Belisarius series has Belsarius who is in love with Antonia, Justinian with Theodora, Eon with Tarabai, and Valentinian with Dhruva. Antonia and Theodora are both former prostitutes by the time the series starts.
book and movie
I don’t think Travis Bickle was actually “in love” with the young prostitute or even all that sexually attracted to her. She was more an object to be rescued.
