Annie’s Relationship With Partner! Blessed With Three Children
Annie Leibovitz was close to her writer partner Susan Sontag. Before her partner’s death in December 2004, the duo used to travel around the world and resided at the New York apartments opposite each other. However, the pair never referred to each other as a couple.
More than a couple, Annie described her partner of 15-years Susan as a close friend. However, after her partner’s death, in an interview with the New York Times, she addressed her relationship with Susan and said:
With all due respect to Susan we never liked words like ‘companion’ or ‘partner.’ Susan never used them. I never used them. It was a relationship in all its dimensions. It had its ups and downs. … I mean, we helped each other through our lives.
She and Susan never lived together but shared the bond almost like husband-and-wife. The Waterbury native who never married Susan continued to discuss her relationship and said:
Call us lovers. I like ‘lovers.’ You know, ‘lovers’ sounds romantic. I mean, I want to be perfectly clear. I love Susan. I don’t have a problem with that. I just had a problem with ‘partner’ or ‘companion.’ It just sounds like two little old ladies.
During their early days of a relationship, Susan was aware that Annie wanted to have children. When she decided to have children, Susan remained supportive, and Annie gave birth to a daughter named Sarah Cameron Leibovitz at the age of 52. The writer was at her hospital bedside when Annie gave birth to Sarah in 2001.
Four years after her daughter’s birth, her partner Susan died due to cancer. She then welcomed twin daughters, Susan Leibovitz, and Samuelle Leibovitz via surrogacy in May 2005. Today, Annie, who relishes single life, is a mother-of-three and enjoys a sumptuous bond with her children.
