What is the name of F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife?

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s wife was Zelda Fitzgerald.

Zelda Sayre married F. Scott Fitzgerald on April 3, 1920, in New York City, shortly after the publication of his first novel, This Side of Paradise. Their marriage became one of the most recognizable partnerships of the Jazz Age, combining literary fame, public spectacle, travel, and serious personal difficulties.

The couple first met in 1918 while Fitzgerald was stationed near Montgomery, Alabama, during World War I. Zelda initially hesitated to marry him because his literary career and finances were uncertain, but the success of his debut novel helped change her mind. They had one child, Frances Scott “Scottie” Fitzgerald, born in 1921.

Zelda was much more than a novelist’s spouse. She was a writer, painter, dancer, and social figure in her own right. Her semi-autobiographical novel Save Me the Waltz appeared in 1932, and her artistic ambitions sometimes caused conflict with Fitzgerald. Mary Hemingway, Hadley Richardson, and Martha Gellhorn were associated with Ernest Hemingway, not F. Scott Fitzgerald’s marriage.
