Cynthia Lennon Said She 'Got on Well' With the Other 'Beatles Girls'
John Lennon’s first wife, Cynthia Lennon, described her life adjacent to the Beatles in her memoir. However, this experience also extended to other wives of the band members, with Cynthia Lennon sharing a close friendship with the self-described, ‘Beatles girls.” Here’s what we learned from John.
Around the same time John Lennon and Paul McCartney began writing music, the “Imagine” singer began his relationship with classmate Cynthia Lennon (then Cynthia Powell). After she became pregnant with her first son, Julian, the two got married.
That made John Lennon the first Beatle to get married. Due to safety concerns, the Beatles’ wives were rarely seen in public alongside the band. Still, they formed a close friendship, according to Cynthia Lennon.
George Harrison was the last Beatle to fall in love, doing so at 21 years old. He met Pattie Boyd while filming A Hard Day’s Night and married her shortly after. According to Cynthia Lennon, she was “friendly” and “easy to get on with,” similar to the “rest of us Beatles girls.”
