Haitink had five children from his first marriage to Marjolein Snijder.[1] Their marriage ended in the late 1970s and he had two further, comparatively short-lived, marriages in the 1980s and 1990s, first to a cellist and then to a violinist from the Concertgebouw. He married his fourth wife, Patricia (née Bloomfield), a barrister and former viola player in the orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in 1994.[37] They lived in West London.[2][38][39]
