It is not written in history and is not specified. William
Shakespeare's "lover" would probably be his wife, Anne Hathaway.
They were married in 1582, and had 3 children, a daughter Susanna
and twins Hamnet and Judith. It is rumored that Shakespeare had one
illegitimate son, William Davenant, however other sources state
that Shakespeare was merely Davenant's godfather. Davenant's mother
was Jane Shepherd Davenant.
