Art Garfunkel Children: Does Art Garfunkel have children?
In 1985, Garfunkel met former model Kathryn Cermak while filming Good to Go. They married in 1988, and have two children together: James (born in 1990) and Beau Daniel (born in 2005, via a surrogate mother).
Art Garfunkel first married architect Linda Marie Grossman in 1972, and they divorced in 1975. He has since claimed that the marriage was turbulent, and he has not spoken to her since the divorce.
He was romantically involved with actress Laurie Bird in 1974 until her suicide in 1979. Speaking in a 1986 interview, Garfunkel said: “I asked myself constantly why I didn’t marry her, because surely she was the apple of my eye.
“She was everything I was looking for in a woman. But I was very hurt by my first marriage, so as far as marriage to Laurie was concerned, I was extra scared. I was heartbroken. It laid me low. I used to get very sad when the sun went down. The nights were very lonely for me.”
