John Lennon and Cynthia Lennon were married in 1962, and their relationship was an important part of John’s early life, especially during the rise of The Beatles in the 1960s.
Cynthia was John’s first wife, and they met at art school in Liverpool before The Beatles became famous. Their son, Julian Lennon, was born in 1963. However, John’s growing fame and the pressures of Beatlemania put a strain on their relationship. Cynthia was mostly kept out of the spotlight, and John’s lifestyle, especially his increasing experimentation with drugs and the influence of Yoko Ono later in the decade, contributed to their eventual separation.
In 1968, John and Cynthia divorced, marking the end of their marriage. Shortly after the divorce, John’s relationship with Yoko Ono became public.
Cynthia later wrote a memoir, John, where she detailed her life with John Lennon and gave insight into their relationship during the height of The Beatles’ fame. Below are 40 candid snapshots of John and Cynthia Lennon from the 1960s:
