The astronaut is believed to have first met his third wife, philanthropist Lois Driggs Cannon, at a beach party in 1985. They made it formal in 1988. Aldrin and Cannon were together for more than two decades, and divorced in 2011.
All of Buzz Aldrin's three biological children, James Michael Aldrin, Janice Ross Aldrin, and Andrew John Aldrin, he shares with his first wife, Joan Archer Aldrin.
