Wollstonecraft fell in love with a man named Gilbert Imlay, an American, while in Paris, France. The relationship was never one destined for marriage, as Imlay never wanted it, even when Mary got pregnant. She gave birth to Fanny Imlay, likely named after her childhood friend, in Le Havre, France. As Imlay was known as an adventurer and never wanted the family life, he eventually abandoned both of them.
