- Jane Wilde(1964-1995) – Stephen Hawking met Jane Wilde (later author and educator), who was his sister’s boyfriend, shortly after he was diagnosed with motor neuron disease. Stephen was a graduate student at Cambridge at the time. In October 1964 they became engaged and it was this engagement that gave Stephen the will to live. They married in July 1965. The couple had three children, son Robert (born May 1967), daughter Lucy (born 1970) and son Timothy (born 1979). By the mid-1980s, Jane had developed romantic feelings for organist Jonathan Hellyer Jones, whom she had met in a church choir. Hawking allowed this affair as long as Jane still loved him. Meanwhile, Stephen had developed affection for one of his nurses, Elaine Mason, and told Jane in 1990 that that he would leave her for Mason. Their divorce was finalized in 1995. However, Stephen became closer to Jane after his divorce from Mason.
- Elaine Mason (1995-2006) – Hawking grew up close to his nurse Elaine Mason in the late 1980s. Stephen informed his first wife, Jane, that he wanted to marry Elaine and married Elaine in 1995, a few months after his divorce from Jane. In the early 2000s, Stephen’s family members were concerned that he might be subject to physical abuse. However, the police investigation came to nothing as Stephen refused to make official complaints. Later, his family members and close friends were excluded from his life.
