Jane Beryl Wilde Hawking Jones (née Wilde, born 29 March 1944) is an English writer and educator.
Stephen Hawking, she was married for 30 years.
Early life and education
Jane was born to George and Beryl Wilde (née Eagleton). She grew up in St Albans, Hertfordshire. She was raised in the Church of England and is a committed Christian.
She studied languages at Westfield College, University of London. At a party in 1962, Jane and Stephen Hawking met through common college acquaintances. In 1963, Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuronopathy (also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS). Despite being aware of his diminishing life expectancy and limitations, the couple married in 1964 and 1965 in their shared hometown of St Albans. They had three children: Robert, 1967, Lucy, 1970, and Timothy, 1979.
Hawking received her PhD in medieval Spanish literature in April 1981 after years of working on her doctoral thesis at Westfield College. She was compelled to obtain a PhD to have her own academic identity at the University of Cambridge.
Jane and Stephen Hawking married in 1990 and divorced five years later. She married singer Jonathan Hellyer Jones in 1997. However, she continued to help Hawking with his health issues as he went to work. "We are able to communicate easily again and enjoy many a family get-together," she writes in the introduction to her 2007 book Travelling to Infinity. It has been like old times" says the author.
Jane suffered with depression during her marriage to Hawking while dealing with his illness's progression. In a 2004 interview, she cited her Christian faith as a source of her hope during her marriage and the fear she suffered as a result of being his then-caregiver. In an interview, she discussed the irony in her faith-based resolve to assist him in the aftermath of Hawking's well-known atheism.
Later life
She wrote an autobiography about her first marriage, Music to Move the Stars: A Life With Stephen, which was used as a basis for the 2004 television film Hawking about his time as a doctoral student at Cambridge University and the start of their relationship and marriage. Following her estrangement and divorce from his second wife, she and Stephen Hawking developed a professional relationship.
An updated version of the autobiography was released under the title Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen in 2009, and it was later made into the award-winning film The Theory of Everything. Hawking talked about her time on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour in January 2015.
