“Days of Our Lives” fans have come to adore the character of EJ DiMera over the years.
However, it was soon clear that EJ was a DiMera through and through.
The character moved in across the hall from Sami Brady and the two had instant chemistry.
Although Sami was with Lucas Horton, she couldn’t deny her attraction to EJ.
As their affection grew, they fell in love and had an on-again, off-again relationship for years.

However, their relationship was also one shocking moment away from crumbling.
Although Sami and EJ had many good years together, they also had some very difficult times.
The couple were married on two occasions, but could never really seem to make things work.
When they were apart, EJ often turned his attention to Nicole Walker.
EJ also married Nicole two times and got her pregnant twice.
Sadly, Nicole lost both of the pregnancies.
One of the couple’s messiest breakups occurred when Nicole’s sister, Taylor Walker, came to Salem.
EJ was infatuated with Taylor and ultimately began to have an affair with Taylor shortly after marrying Nicole.
Nicole found out about the affair and later plotted to get revenge on EJ.
This wouldn’t be the first time that EJ would have an affair with one of his sisters-in-law.
The steamy affair led Sami to melt down and humiliate EJ on their wedding day.
Sami got revenge by taking over EJ’s company and fortune and sending him to jail.
Soon after Sami left Salem.
Sami rushed to his side and helped him during his recovery.
The couple split and Sami went missing.
EJ was the main suspect but maintained his innocence.
During Sami’s time away, EJ grew close to her sister, Belle Black Brady.
Belle was having marital issues with her husband, Shawn Brady, and the pair grew close.
Sami officially filed for divorce and Belle worked things out with Shawn, leaving EJ alone again.
EJ later reconciled with Nicole, giving their romance yet another shot.
Through the years, EJ DiMera has had one of the most complicated love lives in Salem.
Perhaps, EJ will find his long-lasting true love in the future.
