Ellen Ternan, the actress, was Dickens' friend and protege and possibly his mistress. There was some speculation that she bore Dickens a son, but this has never been substantiated. After his death, she received an unrevealed sum of money and later married. She almost never spoke of Dickens.

Ellen Ternan was performing in plays alongside her mother and sister when Dickens met them and became a friend to the family. His relationship with Ellen (which is still ambiguous) continued until his death.
Charles Dickens and Ellen Ternan had a discreet and controversial relationship while Dickens was still married. After Dickens's death, Ternan lived a quiet life out of the public eye and avoided discussing their relationship. The details of their romance were not well-documented, leaving much speculation and mystery surrounding their relationship.

The short answer to that is that Charles Dickens killed Charles Dickens. His friends believed that his public readings, which were vigorous and demanding, hastened his death. It's also possible that the strain of his relationship with Ellen Ternan (or actually the strain caused by his wife's reaction to Ellen Ternan) and the stresses inherent in juggling two households contributed to his death.
Yes. In 1857, Dickens met and fell in love with a professional actress named Ellen Ternan. Their relationship seemed to have been the cause of his separation from his with Catherine. Dickens supported Ternan until he died (and probably after) and some say they had a child together.
