Rizal had romantic relationships with several women throughout his life, both in the Philippines and abroad. Some of the women he courted included Julia, whom he met as a teenager; Segunda Katigbak, his first puppy love; Leonor Valenzuela; and Leonor Rivera, who he loved for 11 years but was unable to marry due to her mother's disapproval. While traveling, he also met Consuelo Ortiga y Rey in Madrid, Gertrude Beckette in London, Nelly Boustead in France, and O Sei San in Japan. Later relationships included Suzanne Jacoby in Brussels and Josephine Bracken while in exile in Dapitan. However, none of these relationships ultimately

Rizal was only 15 when he first saw Julia by accident in a river in Los Ba単os a few days after Easter in 1877. She was wearing a red wraparound skirt. Julia could not catch the butterfly she was chasing. Rizal, ever gallant, caught two, Trillana wrote. Heart beating with strange fondness, Rizal offered her the butterflies and she laughed with innocent pleasure. He was instantly attracted to her. But for
Rizal next met Segunda Katigbak, a charming girl from Lipa, Batangas. She was his puppy love, according to Trillana. Unfortunately, his first love was engaged to be married to a town mate- Manuel Luz.
After his admiration for a short girl in the person of Segunda, then came Leonor Valenzuela, a tall girl from Pagsanjan. Rizal send her love notes written in invisible ink, that could only be deciphered over the warmth of the lamp or candle. He visited her on the eve of his departure to Spain
Almost simultaneously, Rizal was meeting another Leonor. The girl, Leonor Rivera, would be his girlfriend for the next 11 years. The two were distant cousins. Rivera was to him his ideal woman, his model for Maria Clara, one of the main characters in his first novel, Noli Me Tangere. He was ready to marry her. Unfortunately, Riveras mother disliked Rizal who was then earning the reputation of being a dissident. The two last saw each other before Rizal left for Spain in May 1882. The mother hid from Rivera all the letters that Rizal was sending from Spain. After a passage of many years, thinking that Rizal had abandoned her, Rivera sadly consented to marry Henry Kipping, an Englishman who was her mothers choice. Rizal was said to have cried shamelessly when news of the wedding reached him. Rivera never got to know that Rizal loved her just as much
Rizal met Consuelo Ortiga y Rey, the prettier of Don Pablo Ortigas two daughters, in Madrid. She fell in love with him after only a few dates. He dedicated to her A la Senorita C.O. y R, which became one of his best poems. The Ortiga's residence in Madrid was frequented by Rizal and his compatriots. He probably fell in love with her and Consuelo apparently asked him for romantic verses. He suddenly backed out before the relationship turned into a serious romance, because he wanted to remain loyal to Leonor Rivera and
While Rizal was in London annotating the Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas, he boarded in the house of the Beckett family, within walking distance of the British Museum. Gertrude, a blue-eyed and buxom girl was the oldest of the three Beckett daughters. She fell in love with Rizal. Tottie helped him in his painting and sculpture. But Rizal suddenly left London for Paris to avoid Gertrude, who was seriously in love with him. Before leaving London, he was able to
Rizal having lost Leonor Rivera, entertained the thought of courting other ladies. While a guest of the Boustead family at their residence in the resort city of Biarritz, he had befriended the two pretty daughters of his host, Eduardo Boustead. Rizal used to fence with the sisters at the studio of Juan Luna. Antonio Luna, Juan's brother and also a frequent visitor of the Bousteads, courted Nellie but she was deeply infatuated with Rizal. In a party held by Filipinos in Madrid, a drunken Antonio Luna uttered unsavory remarks against Nellie Boustead. This prompted Rizal to challenge Luna into a duel. Fortunately, Luna apologized to Rizal, thus averting tragedy for the compatriots. Their love affair unfortunately did not end in marriage. It failed because Rizal refused to be converted to the Protestant faith, as Nellie demanded and Nellie's mother did not like a physician without enough paying clientele to be a son-in-law. The lovers, however, parted as good friends when Rizal left Europe.
On his second trip to Europe in 1888, Rizal stopped by Japan where he met O Sei San, a lovely and intelligent daughter of a samurai. If all he wanted was a good life, he would have married O Sei San and stayed on in Japan because a Spanish legation there was offering him a well-paying job. But he left Japan because he thought he was destined for a greater task in the
In 1890, Rizal moved to Brussels because of the high cost of living in Paris. In Brussels, he lived in the boarding house of the two Jacoby sisters. In time, they fell deeply in love with each other. Suzanne cried when Rizal left Brussels and wrote him when
While on exile in Dapitan, Zamboanga, in early February 1895, Rizal met an 18-year-old petite Irish girl, with bold blue eyes, brown hair and a happy disposition. She was Josephine Bracken, the adopted daughter of George Taufer who had traveled to Dapitan from Hong Kong to have his eye treated by Rizal. Rizal was immediately attracted to Josephine. He called her dulce estranjera, or sweet foreigner. The loneliness and boredom of exile may have taken its toll as he found himself falling in love quite easily. However, Rizals sisters suspected Josephine of being a spy for the Spanish authorities and a threat to his security. Rizal asked Josephine to marry him, but she was not yet ready to make a decision due to her responsibility to the blind Taufer. Since Taufer's blindness was untreatable, he left for Hon Kong on March 1895. Josephine stayed with Rizals family in Manila. Upon her return to Dapitan, Rizal tried to arrange with Father Antonio Obach for their marriage.
