Detailed explanation-3: -It is highly probable that the couple were rushed into marriage because Anne was pregnant.

Three years later Anne gave birth to the twins Hamnet and Judith.

They also had twins, Judith and Hamnet, baptised on 2 February 1585. Shakespeare had four grandchildren who all died without heirs, so there are no direct descendants of his line today.
