The couple stayed married until Lennon was killed in 1980, and they share one son, Sean. Ono and Lennon’s collaborative album, “Double Fantasy,” won a Grammy for Album of the Year in 1980.

Is Yoko Ono religious?

In one interview, Ono said she grew up believing God was always watching. However, in high school, Ono identified more with Buddhism but never committed to the religion. She said she was inspired to be more spiritual after visiting India with Lennon in the 1960s. Ono doesn’t identify with a specific religion but blends multiple religions to create her faith while respecting others’ beliefs.
