Was Stephen ever married before

Answer 1

No he hasn't. Sondheim is gay, but struggled for quite a long time with emotional attachment. He had a few brief relationships throughout the 70s and 80s, but his major relationship was with a younger composer/producer named Peter Jones. Sondheim in fact dedicated the score of "Passion" to Jones.

Some sources seem to indicate that they are no longer together, but Jones did serve as producer on the recent albums "Sondheim Sings", which collect a lot of his own personal demo recordings.

A good source for relationship information on Sondheim is Meryle Secrest's book "Sondheim: A Life". It's a bit tabloid-y at times, but it's the only book that really looks into his lovelife. Hope this helps.
