<p>Timothy Hawkins is known as the son of the famous cosmologist and physicist, <a href="/biography/stephen-hawking">Stephen Hawking</a>.</p>

<h2>Background</h2>

<p>Timothy Hawkins was born on April 15, 1997, in St Albans, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. Timothy is the third son of the much-acclaimed theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author, <a href="/biography/stephen-hawking">Stephen Hawking</a>. Hawking passed away on March 14, 2018, at the age of 76. His mother, Jane Beryl Hawking Jones is the writer of the book. “<em>Travelling to Infinity: My Life With Stephen</em>”. His parents met through mutual college friends at a party in the early 1960s. They got engaged in 1964, and then they got married on July 14, 1965.</p>

<p>When Timothy was young, since his dad suffered badly from a motor neuron disease, he had hard times trying to understand what he was saying, before the disease left the intelligent physician paralyzed and completely voiceless. His dad lost his natural ability to communicate with others, and this brought him to use an electronic voice synthesizer to communicate with his family members, as well as other individuals in the professional and friends' circle.</p>

<p>Timothy Hawking attended Exter University in England, where he completed his degrees in Spanish and French language. Later, he went to the University of Birmingham to continue his studies and managed to work for some small companies in the United States as an account manager.</p>

<p>Timothy has 2 siblings, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Hawking">Lucy Hawking</a>, and Robert Hawking. His elder <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Hawking">sister</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Hawking">Lucy</a>, is an English <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Hawking">journalist</a> and novelist. She writes for many newspapers like the “New York Magazine”, the “Daily Mail”, “The Telegraph”, “The Times”, the “London Evening Standard”, and “The Guardian”. She has also worked as a radio journalist. His elder brother, Robert, is a software engineer, working for Microsoft. Robert is a married man and father of two children.</p>

<h2>Relationships</h2>

<p>Timothy is thought to be single but nothing much is known about his romantic life.</p>

<h2>Career</h2>

<p>After his graduation from college, Timothy gathered experience as an account manager in different companies across the UK. He finally joined the LEGO Group as a Loyalty executive, and then subsequently he got promotions in the same company. Despite his famous dad, Timothy tried to maintain a low profile in his occupation</p>

<h2>Famous Father</h2>

<p>In many interviews, Timothy acknowledged the bond of love he shared with his father, despite <a href="/biography/stephen-hawking">Stephen</a>'s trust with the fate that made him the victim and suffers from the agony of the ill effects of the motor neuron disease. Despite all odds, the reputed physicist seemed not to run out of wits and humor.</p>

<p>His parents separated in 1990, and their divorce case was finalized five years later. His mother remarried Jonathan Hellyer Jones in 1996. Following her remarriage, Jane used to continue to support her ex-husband through his health problems, as he continued to work. His father married Elaine Mason, a nurse, in 1995, but they divorced in 2006.</p>

<p>In a rare interview, Timothy admitted that in earlier days he was not able to understand the cause of his father's deteriorating speech. According to Tim, <a href="/biography/stephen-hawking">Stephen</a> was able to communicate well with his family. But as days passed his speech disorder took a serious turn and as such he was not able to communicate well. Because of the impairment of speech, Timothy was noncommunicative with his father for about five years.</p>

<p>When the speech impairment effect got more and more pronounced, <a href="/biography/stephen-hawking">Stephen Hawking</a> had no other options but to use a voice synthesizer. In his interview, Timothy also revealed that both he and his father had a passion driving motor cars, and they often joined Formula 1 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Williams_(Formula_One)">supremo</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Williams_(Formula_One)">Frank Williams</a>, who was also in a wheelchair, watching the races from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Williams_(Formula_One)">Williams</a> team pit.</p>

<p>It was a piece of advice given to him by his father when he was 12 that Tim treasured the most, “I remember asking him a question which I think at the time I thought was a bit silly. I wanted to know if there were lots of other tiny universes dotted around. He gave me the answer and then he told me never to be afraid to come up with an idea or a hypothesis no matter how daft it might seem."</p>

<p>When Timothy, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Hawking">Lucy</a>, and Robert announced the death of their dad, they wrote “He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. He once said, ‘It would not be much of a universe if it wasn’t home to the people you love.’ We will miss him forever.”</p>
