Bellingham Smith married the painter Rodrigo Moynihan in 1931 and the couple enjoyed a busy sometimes tempestuous marriage along with a frenetic social life, their home in Old Church Street, Chelsea, becoming a salon for Bohemian London of the era. This existence was described in their son, John Moynihan’s, book The Restless Lives: The Bohemian World of Rodrigo and Elinor Moynihan. The couple divorced in 1960.
