[Avodah] Having a boyfriend equivalent to being married?

[Josh E.]

Suppose a woman has several boyfriends, who she was
intimate with, prior to becoming a baalas teshuvah.
Now, there is a chazakah of "Ein adam oseh b'ilaso
bi'ilas zenus". If the chazakah applies to her, we
assume the biah was not for zenus but for kiddushin.
Therefore, does she effectively have married status
and must obtain a get (from all, or at least first, of
her boyfriends), if she wants to get married after
becoming religious?

You might say that the chazakah doesn't apply to her
because she was not observant. What if she was, but
just transgressed in this one particular area?
