Yoko Ono ‘never has moved on’ from John Lennon 44 years after his death reveals son Sean

This Sunday will mark the 44th anniversary of John Lennon‘s tragic murder at age 40, and his widow Yoko Ono never found love like that again.

‘I grew up with my mom speaking about my dad every day,’ Yoko’s son Sean Ono Lennon told BBC Radio 6 Music on Tuesday.

‘She famously cut her hair when my dad died [because] in Japan, you used to cut your hair when your husband dies. So she spoke of him every day and I think she never has moved on from that relationship.’

The Beatle’s assassin Mark David Chapman, now 69, is scheduled to have his next parole hearing in August after being denied 13 times.

The 91-year-old artist and the British pop star were still married to their spouses Anthony Cox and Cynthia Powell, respectively, when they originally met in 1966.

Cox gained custody of Yoko’s 61-year-old daughter Kyoko Chan Cox after their 1969 divorce, and she miscarried her first son with John in 1968 a few weeks after his divorce from Powell was finalized.

And while Ono and Lennon formed the Plastic Ono Band and went on to collaborate on protests and music, the married couple separated for 18 months between July 1973-January 1975 during which he lived with his assistant May Pang.

‘The truth is, even when they were apart, they were always talking. So I don’t think they ever really broke up. All his stuff was still in the apartment with my mom. It’s not like they had a real separation,’ the 49-year-old nepo-baby dished.

‘I think it’s clear what his view of my mom was in his life. She was monumental, obviously, and the whole album [Mind Games] is about her. She’s there in the studio… It sort of confirmed how deeply in love he was with my mom.’

The seven-time Grammy winner was technically Yoko’s third husband after divorcing her first husband, Japanese composer Toshi Ichiyanagi, back in 1962.

And Ono reportedly dated interior designer Sam Havadtoy for many years until their 2001 split.

During his turbulent six-year marriage to Cynthia, John welcomed his 61-year-old son Julian Lennon.

Sean just scored his first-ever Grammy nomination for producing the $167.98 Mind Games (The Ultimate Collection) Deluxe Box Set featuring six CDs, two HD Audio Blu-Rays, and a 136-page book.

‘You look at the album cover, it’s a collage of my mum literally the size of a mountain, and he’s this little tiny thing sort of fading into the background,’ Lennon noted.

‘And I think it’s clear what his view of my mum was in his life. She was monumental, obviously. And the whole album is about her…It sort of affirmed how deeply in love he was with my mum.’

The British-American musician continued: ‘I think every relationship is very difficult, and I don’t believe that human beings have really solved the love equation. So I think they did the best of anyone I can see.’
