How many times has James Cameron been married?

The story behind the answer

James Cameron has been married five times. His spouses have been Sharon Williams, producer Gale Anne Hurd, director Kathryn Bigelow, actress Linda Hamilton, and actress Suzy Amis.

Cameron married Williams in 1978, and they divorced in 1984. He married Hurd in 1985; their professional partnership included films such as The Terminator and Aliens, but the marriage ended in 1989. Later that year, Cameron married Bigelow, whom he had met through the film industry. They divorced in 1991.

Cameron and Hamilton, known for playing Sarah Connor in The Terminator films, had a daughter before marrying in 1997. Their marriage lasted about two years. Cameron married Amis in 2000, and they have three children together.

A common mix-up is counting only Cameron's long-term or publicly prominent relationships. The quiz asks how many times he has been married, so each legal marriage counts, including marriages that ended in divorce.
