All four of the director’s children are from different women. David Lynch first married Peggy Lentz in 1967 in Chicago.. A year later, their daughter Jennifer Chamber Lynch, who became a film director, was born.. The marriage did not last long; they divorced in 1974. His son, Austin, was born to him in 1982 by his second wife, Mary Fisk.. Lynch's common-law wife, his editor Mary Sweeney, gave him a son, Riley, in 1992. David's third wife, actress Emily Stoufl, who was more than 30 years his junior, gave birth to his daughter Lulu in 2012.

David Lynch suffered from health problems in the last years of his life..

At the beginning of August 2021, the director announced that he had emphysema. The cause of the disease was smoking: he began to indulge in tobacco at the age of eight and smoked a lot and often all his life. It got to the point where Lynch couldn’t breathe normally, and even small walks around the house were difficult for him. David Lynch died on January 15.
