Detailed explanation-1: -William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway in November 1582 and they remained married until Shakespeare’s death. At the time of their marriage William was 18, while Anne was 26-and pregnant with their first child.
Detailed explanation-2: -Marriage (to Anne Hathaway) and children A few years after he left school, in late 1582, William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway. She was already expecting their first-born child, Susanna, which was a fairly common situation at the time. When they married, Anne was 26 and William was 18.
Detailed explanation-3: -From 1585 until 1592, very little is known about Shakespeare. These are generally referred to as ‘The Lost Years’.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is highly probable that the couple were rushed into marriage because Anne was pregnant. This speculation appears to be confirmed by a baptismal record for their first child, Susanna, who was born just six months after their wedding. Three years later Anne gave birth to the twins Hamnet and Judith.
Detailed explanation-5: -Like so many circumstances of Shakespeare’s personal life, the question of his sexual nature is shrouded in uncertainty. At age 18, in 1582, he married Anne Hathaway, a woman who was eight years older than he.
