Stephen Sondheim had a complicated relationship with his father. His parents divorced when he was young, and he reportedly felt abandoned by his father, who was less involved in his life. This estrangement significantly influenced Sondheim's work and themes, often reflecting complex familial dynamics. Despite this, Sondheim found a strong paternal figure in Oscar Hammerstein II, who became a mentor and supportive influence during his formative years in musical theater.

Was Stephen ever married before?

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.
