For a long time, he is single. It does not seem like he has a spouse. Even if he was married he is not with his partner any longer. Eustace has not spoken anything on the subject.
He was the subject of the book The Last American Man by Elizabeth Gilbert. The 2002 book touched upon Eustace’s relationship history based on interviews with Eustace himself, as well as some of the women with which he was romantically linked.
He said to a woman that he hopes she could bear 13 children for him. He said,
“One hundred years ago a woman wouldn’t have been scared by that idea.”
Writer Elizabeth said,
“Women that were once strong and independent turned into submissive cheerleaders when paired with Conway, giving up much of their own identities to support his vision of Turtle Island,”
She added,
“They were often ignored, held to impossible standards and harshly judged, yet many of the women reflect on the love they still have for Conway and the romantic notion that things may have or should have worked out differently.”
