Early Life

In 1964, Jane and Stephen Hawking, Tim’s parents, got engaged and tied the knot on July 14, 1965. They were introduced by a friend from college at a party in the early 1960s before Stephen was diagnosed with motor neuron disease.
In 1990, his parents separated and their divorce was officially finalized in 1995. During the same year, Stephen Hawking married a nurse named Elaine Mason, but they later divorced in 2006. Meanwhile, his mother Jane remarried musician Jonathan Hellyer Jones in 1997.
Out of Stephen Hawking’s three children, Timothy is the third. He also has two siblings, including Robert, a notable software engineer, and Lucy, a celebrated television host, educator, and humanitarian.
