Yes, Albert Einstein had two wives.
First Wife: Mileva Marić
Albert Einstein's first wife was Mileva Marić. She was born on December 19, 1875, in Titel, Vojvodina, Serbia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). Mileva was a physicist and mathematician who met Einstein while they were both studying at the Zurich Polytechnic. They married in 1903 and divorced in 1919. Their relationship and her contributions to Einstein's work have been a subject of historical debate. They had three children: Lieserl (whose fate is unknown), Hans Albert, and Eduard.
Second Wife: Elsa Löwenthal
After divorcing Mileva, Einstein married Elsa Löwenthal in 1919. Elsa was his cousin (both through their mothers and their fathers). She was born in 1876 and died in 1936. Unlike Mileva, Elsa did not have a scientific background and primarily served as Einstein's caretaker and social buffer.
