Reply to comment by PhyterNL in Stephen Hawking with his wife Jane on their wedding day (1965) by lu44ik123

They divorced in 1995.

They remained friends after the divorce, and continued to work together. The reason for the divorce was the enormous amount of care needed for her husband, effectively reducing her to caregiver and pushing her into a depression. Ironically enough, Hawking then married his actual caregiver.

I don't think it was a coincidence or ironic.
