Here’s the bittersweet part: David has spent decades traveling to the most remote places on Earth—alone. He’s described his life as “a series of long, solitary journeys.” And yet, he came home to Jane and the kids, until he didn’t. After her death, he threw himself into work, filming Life in the Freezer and The Blue Planet. Some say he used work to escape the grief. Others say he was just doing what he was born to do. Either way, it’s a quiet reminder: even the man who speaks for the trees has known profound loss. Makes you want to hug him, doesn’t it? (Don’t; he’s a known personal-space enthusiast.)

But Wait—Is He Married Now? Any Secret Wife?
I can hear you thinking, “But what if he’s secretly married to a French botanist in Provence?” Nope. No secret wife. No girlfriend splashed across tabloids. At 98 years old (as of 2026), he’s still single, still narrating, and still walking more than I do on a Saturday. He once told a journalist, “I have no desire to remarry.” And you know what? I believe him. After 47 years with Jane, maybe he figures you only get one great love—and he already found his, thank you very much.
