David Attenborough married Jane Elizabeth Ebsworth Oriel in 1950, and the couple had two children, Robert and Susan. They were married for 47 years until her death from a brain hemorrhage in 1997. At that time Attenborough had been filming The Life of Birds in New Zealand, but he was able to make it home to her before she died. He has described Jane as the “anchor” of his life.
