David Attenborough is now in his late 90s. He’s been alone for decades. But the internet loves shipping him with other people.
People joke he should marry a polar bear. Or a giant tortoise. Or maybe just his own voice. The memes are wild.
One fan asked: “Is David Attenborough married to his job?” The answer is basically yes. He’s the boyfriend of the BBC.
He once said, “I’m not a natural family man.” He meant it. His real family is the planet. And a camera crew.
Who was David Attenborough's wife and do they have any children? - OK
What about Jane? Was she jealous of the wildlife?
Fun fact: Jane traveled with him sometimes. She didn’t love the cold places. But she tolerated the mud. She even appears in a few old photos.
In one picture, she’s holding a snake. She looks delighted. He looks proud. It’s the cutest snapshot of a weird, wonderful partnership.
When Jane died, Attenborough was deeply affected. He dedicated his Life of Birds series to her. The final credits say: “For Jane.” That’s his love letter.
