Julia Thorne
Julia Stimson Thorne (born on September 16, 1944) is the author of You Are Not Alone (1994) and A Change of Heart (1996).
She was once married to John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee. Thorne and Kerry were married on May 23, 1970 and divorced July 25, 1988 (they had been separated for many years). They have two children together, Alexandra Kerry (born 1973) and Vanessa Kerry (born 1976).
When the couple met, Thorne was Kerry's best friend's sister.
On May 7, 1997, two years after his remarriage, Kerry publicly announced that he had requested an annulment from the Roman Catholic Church of his marriage to Thorne. Thorne vigorously opposed the annulment, but it was granted.
Thorne has remarried and lives in Montana. She has endorsed Kerry's campaign, stating, "I think he is an immensely talented statesman, and I am 100 percent behind him." She has, however, expressed concern about protecting her privacy, and hopes that the couple's daughters will not become too involved in public life.
