No, Edgar Allan Poe's parents were not divorced. His parents, actors David Poe Jr. and Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe, were married but both died when Poe was still young. Poe was raised by John and Frances Allan after his mother's death and his father's abandonment.

∙ 10y agoI do not believe that Poe's natural parents ever divorced. They had only been separated for little more than a year when they died days apart.
