While taking care of Stephen, Elaine fell in love with Stephen but he was married to his first wife Jane at that time. In 1990, Stephen left his family and finally divorced Jane in 1995. Since Elaine was also married to David and had two sons, she left them to start a new life with a physicist.
Elaine and Stephen got married on 15th September 1995 at the Cambridge Register Office. Stephen’s family members and friends didn’t accept their relationship especially because of Elaine Mason’s attitude which was too protective, possessive and aggressive. Later, things didn’t work well and the pair ended their 11 years of relationship and got divorced in 2006. It was reported that Elaine got a huge amount of money for the settlement of their divorce.
Allegations were made by Stephen’s daughter, Lucy (from his first wife Jane) that Elaine tortured her dad mentally and physically. Elaine refused all the allegations and was never found guilty in the police investigation.
Stephen again came closer to his first wife Jane and children after his divorce from Elaine. He passed away in England at home on 14 March, 2018 at the age of 76.
