Who Is David Crosby’s Wife?

David was married to his soulmate, Jan Dance, for nearly four decades! The couple tied the knot in 1987 and were madly in love for 36 years before this musician’s untimely passing in 2023. Although they got married in 1987, it was clear that their love story began many years before that based on David’s tweets about Jan. Two years prior to his death, the late 81-year-old took to Twitter to share a throwback photo of his wife and wrote about how long he’s loved her. “You can see why I love her…..46 years so far,” he captioned the sweet post.

In a bittersweet memory, the Grammy-winner also shared a photo of his “Valentine” on Feb. 14, 2022, via Twitter. “Me and my valentine and some fine trees,” David captioned the snapshot of the two spending the day of love together last year. Jan and her late husband met when she was working as a receptionist at Criteria Studios, according to The US Sun, and later exchanged vows at the Hollywood Church of Religious Science in Los Angeles.

David was not shy about his love for his wife and he once confirmed to the Los Angeles Times about his loyalty to Jan during a March 2021 interview. When asked about the Byrds track “Triad,” about a threesome, David cleared the air on whether or not he ever stepped out of his marriage. “It’s not controversial, man. The French have been doing ménage à trois for centuries. It’s just unusual if you’re sexually very square. Lots of times, three people get together in a bed,” he said at the time. “I certainly wasn’t the only one doing it. It was fun to adventure back then. I continued being an adventurer for a long time, but my focus was really on obliterating [myself] with hard drugs. Once I got married to Jan, I never touched another woman, ever, at all.”

Did David & Jan Have Kids?

During Jan and David’s 36-year marriage they welcome one child together, a son named Django Crosby, 27. Along with Django, the iconic guitarist also welcomed a few other children during his life from different relationships.
