His lover was:
Eva von Trott (1506-1567)
German royal mistress.
" . . . The beautiful Evan von Trott was his mistress, and by her he had seven illegitimate children. In order to keep his relation to her secret, he caused it to be spread abroad that she was dead, and attended a fictitious burial, in order to give foundation to the report; then, he removed her to the castle of Stauffenburg, where she lived in the greatest seclusion." (Hawkins, 1838, p. 372)
" . . . Finally, this was, after all, the grandson of Heinrich der Jungere, who staged the apparent death of his mistress Eva von Trott. Having substituted a wax dummy for Eva's putative corpse, Heinrich der Jungere spirited the real Eva off to a nearby castle where she flourished quite nicely, bearing him three further illegitimate children before her relatives caught on to the game." (Wade: 77)
"...His private life was also scandalous. Outwardly professing the Catholic religion, he ventured to mock one of its most sacred rites by pretending to have his mistress, Evan von Trott, buried, though for years afterwards he kept her privately in one of his castles." (Smith: 393)

His lover was:
Lover in 1701-1702?.
"Thus, at fourteen, she was found a position as a companion to Princess Sophie Amalie, daughter of Duke Christian Albrecht of Holstein-Gottorp and his wife, born Frederika Amalie of Denmark. After twelve months, Sophie Amalie had to leave the family home to address her fiance, Prince August Wilhelm, heir to the house of Brunswick-Lüneburg. Of course, Anna Constantia accompanied Sophie Amalie.
Apparently, Anna Constantia was immediately allowed to drag a relationship with a younger brother of August Wilhelm, Louis Rudolf, who was already married to Christine de Oettingen. The story broke when Anna Constantia remained pregnant: she was immediately expelled from the court and returned to her parents, who were still residing in Gut Depenau. Predictably, the von Brockdorff felt ashamed and furious at having to take in that daughter who had not known how to take care of herself. It is not known what happened with the pregnancy, if it was interrupted or if it came to term." (Foros Dinastias)
