Late Music superstar John Lennon MBE had multiple relationships throughout his life, during his time with the Beatles in its peak years and post-Beatles era when he focused more on his domestic life rather than music career. Despite dating lots of girls, John had only two children: sons Sean Lennon and Julian Lennon.

Many people nowadays do not know much about them, and those who are Beatles fans are curious to learn whether the two are close or not. Such details are given below, so let's find out!

'We've talked about working together; I'm sure we will...,' Julian added. 'I think we have the same sensibilities in many respects.' He also talked about his relationship with Sean's mom Yoko Ono: 'I think the key point to all this for me at least has been Sean. If I hurt Sean's mother then I hurt Sean.'

Julian continued to elaborate on his relationship with Sean. 'It's a roundabout way of thinking about things but because I love Sean so much I just don't want to hurt him. I can get over it. I have got over it.' Julian and Yoko, who once fought for their share of John Lennon's fortune in court, now seem to have patched up things with each other. Even Yoko admitted they had a normal relationship with each other. 'Julian is the biggest thing in our family,' she once said.

Sean Lennon Was John Lennon's Favorite Child

In an interview with Playboy in 1980, John Lennon talked about his relationship with his sons.

'90 percent of the people on this planet, especially in the West, were born out of a bottle of whiskey on a Saturday night, and there was no intent to have children,' John told Playboy, as per Express UK. 'So 90 percent of us… that includes everybody… were accidents. Julian is in the majority, along with me and everybody else.'
