Did Christopher Hitchens have a wife?

Christopher Hitchens was married twice, first to Eleni Meleagrou, a Greek Cypriot in 1981. The couple had a son Alexander and a daughter Sophia.

In 1991, Hitchens married his second wife, Carol Blue, an American screenwriter, in a ceremony held at the apartment of Victor Navasky, editor of The Nation.

They had a daughter together, Antonia.

There isn’t much information about his wives because they both kept their personal lives away from the media.

On June 8, 2010, Hitchens was a tour in New York promoting his mentor Hitch 22 when he was taken into emergency care suffering from a severe pericardial effusion. Soon after, he announced he was postponing his tour to undergo treatment for oesophageal cancer.
