Yes, Peruvian Spanish writer Mario Vargas Llosa married his first cousin, Patricia Llosa, in 1965. They had three children before divorcing in 2015. It was Vargas Llosa’s second marriage. In 1955, when he was 19, he married his uncle’s sister-in-law, Julia Urquidi Illanes. Their relationship inspired Vargas Llosa’s semi-autobiographical novel La tía Julia y el escribidor (1977; Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter), which was adapted into the 1990 film Tune in Tomorrow. They divorced in 1964.
