However, two years later, separation reports began to surface in the press. It was at this point that Jane announced they had not legally divorced, but were no longer an item.
Jane married her second husband, Tom Hayden, who was an activist, in 1973 at her home in Laurel Canyon, just three days after obtaining a legal divorce from Roger. The same year, the couple welcomed a son, Troy O'Donovan Garity. Some years later in 1982, the husband and wife then adopted a daughter, teenage Mary Luana Williams.

By the time the early nineties had arrived, Jane had married third husband, cable tycoon and founder of CNN, Ted Turner, but the couple called it quits at the turn of the millennium, and were granted a divorce in 2001.

On the split, Jane herself said to the New Yorker: "He needs someone to be there 100 per cent of the time. He thinks that's love. It is not love. It's babysitting. We went in different directions. I grew up." Despite calling Ted her "favourite husband" in an HBO documentary about her life, the pair went separate ways and Jane began seven years of celibacy.
