Cynthia met John Lennon in 1959 at music class in Liverpool College of Art when she was 18 years old.
They got married three years later on August 1962 at the Mount Pleasant Register office in Liverpool after finding out that she was pregnant with their son. "You couldn't resist being around him," she said in a 2005 interview with a US television.
They stayed together until 1968, when The Beatles became the world's biggest music group.
Cynthia filed for divorce from John after discovering a letter from artist Yoko Ono. Although John denied having any relationship with the artist and explained that she was just some "crazy artist" who wanted to be sponsored, the two were eventually divorced on November 1968.
Later in 1969, John Lennon married Yoko Ono.
