Kingsley Amis - Family

Family

Amis's first marriage, of fifteen years, was to Hilary Bardwell, daughter of a civil servant, by whom he had two sons and one daughter; they are:

1. Philip Amis, a graphics designer, who is divorced and remarried.
2. Martin Amis, a novelist, twice married: first in 1984 (divorced) to Antonia Phillips, a widowed Bostonian philosophy teacher, with two sons Louis and Jacob; and then to Isabel Fonseca with two daughters. He has an additional daughter named Delilah outside of his two marriages.
3. Sally Amis, who died in 2000.

Kingsley Amis was married a second time, to the novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard from 1965 to 1983, with whom he had no children.

At the end of his second marriage, he went to live with his ex-wife Hilary and her third husband, in a deal brokered by their two sons Philip and Martin, so that he could be cared for until his death.
