Sara Dylan's Personal Life: Marriage & Divorce
Sara Dylan is a married woman and had previously married magazine photographer Hans Lownds and became his third wife. The couple lived in a five-story house between Second and Third Avenues in Manhattan.
Sara continued her modeling career and even appeared in Harper's Bazaar before becoming pregnant, and has worked with models like Gwyneth Paltrow. Their daughter Maria was born on October 21, 1961.
Within a year of the birth of their first child, their marriage began to fail. Sometime in early 1964, Sara Dylan met Bob Dylan while she was still married to Hans, and Dylan was still romantically linked to Joan Baez. Not long after that, they had an affair and moved into separate rooms in New York's Hotel Chelsea to be close to one another.
Sara Dylan and Bob got married in 1965 and had four children together- Jesse, Anna, Samuel, and Jakob. Bob even adopted Maria, Sara’s daughter from a previous marriage.
But by 1974, Sara’s marriage with Bob Dylan was fraying, given Bob’s erratic behavior. He even took to drinking and smoking excessively and became physically abusive towards her. The husband and wife decided to part ways, and their marriage ended in 1977.
A condition of the settlement prohibited her from speaking anything about her life with Dylan. Some reports suggest that Sara and Dylan have remained friends after then.
Though their relationship ended in an acrimonious divorce, Sara Dylan is said to have inspired several songs by Bob, with two being directly linked to her; Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, from the 1966 album Blonde on Blonde, and Sara from the 1976 album Desire.
