No. He was engaged to Catherine Brigid "Kitty" Kiernan (1892 -- 24 July 1945) and due to be married in a double wedding ceremony in November 1922. Kitty was a very popular and independently minded young lady and very attractive into the bargain. Mick Collins and one of his best, if not his best, friends, Harry Boland, shared a love interest in Kitty.
It was Michael that won her heart. Tragically, 3 months before they were to be Married, Mick was gunned down in an Anti-Treaty IRA ambush at a place called Béal na Bláth on 21 August 1922. There were many ifs and buts that fateful day that conspired against Mick. If only one factor had been different, he would have survived the day and could have conceivably lived a happy and fruitful life with his sweetheart and his other love, Ireland. But his incredible good luck up until that day ran out in an equally incredible manner.
Mick and Kitty wrote to each other on an almost daily basis and there survives a collection of the letters. There is a book entitled "In Great Haste" by Leon O'Broin that the letters are the subject of. Many of the letters went on display in a museum or library in Cork around the turn of the millennium. They apparently give reviewers an insight into the characters of Kitty and Mick and the love they had for each other. There is also an historical interest in the letters as they give an insight into the political background at the time of the signing of the treaty and what Mick's and Kitty's feelings were.
Unfortunately, I have not read the book or had a chance to review the letters. I have only read of references to them.
