Was John Denver married and did he have children?
John Denver’s first marriage was to Annie Martell. She was the subject of his classic ballad ‘Annie’s Song’, which he wrote in just 10 minutes while sitting on a Colorado ski lift.
The couple adopted a boy, Zachary John, and a girl, Anna Kate.
He said: “I’ll tell you the best thing about me. I’m some guy’s dad; I’m some little gal’s dad. When I die, Zachary John and Anna Kate’s father, boy, that’s enough for me to be remembered by. That’s more than enough”.
Denver and Martell divorced in 1982. He later said that his career demands drove them apart.
He later married Australian actress Cassandra Delaney in 1988. They couple had a daughter, Jesse Belle.
However, they separated in 1991 and divorced in 1993.
