Personal Life
Goodall was married to Hugo Van Lawick, a photographer on March 28, 1964, at Chelsea Old Church, London. However, their marriage did not last until forever as the vows, and they got a divorce in 1974. The following year was a merry again as Jane married Derek Bryceson, who was by then a member of Tanzania’s parliament and the director of the country’s national park.
Unfortunately, he died in October 1980. He had cancer, which was the cause of his death. Due to Bryceson’s position in the parliament, Goodall’s research project (an embargo on tourism at Gombe) was protected.
