Who is David Suzuki’s wife?
David Suzuki has been married twice and his first marriage was to Setsuko Joane Sunahara from 1958 to 1965. The couple had three children before calling their marriage a quit. Suzuki moved on and tied the knot with his current wife Tara Elizabeth Cullis. The two love birds first meet at one of Suzuki’s lectures at Carleton University.
“I was giving a lecture at Carleton University where Tara was a grad student working on her master’s degree in comparative literature. I spotted her immediately, sensationally beautiful, at the back of the room. During my lecture about the impact of genetics on society, a huge snowy owl came to the window and hovered, looking in — something my Indigenous friends tell me was a sign.“- David Suzuki revealed.
He continued- “After my talk, I announced, “Hope everyone is coming to the party tonight” and left without indicating where or when. Somehow, she found out where, showed up and I asked her to dance. That was it.” After their dance, David’s friend drove the couple to her apartment at the end of the night where he walked Tara to the door and kissed her. “That kiss sealed everything and we’ve never stopped kissing for 50 years.”
The couple tied the knot in 1973 in a beautiful wedding ceremony in a church in West Vancouver where Tara grew up. They married on the first anniversary of their meeting, December 10. Since then David Suzuki and his wife Tara Elizabeth Cullis have been inseparable.
For their Honeymoon, Tara Elizabeth Cullis and Suzuki took four months traveling through Europe. They even went to the Soviet Union for a month as a guest of the Russian government. They also went through India, Thailand, and Korea to Japan. They are the parents of two daughters: Severn Cullis-Suzuki and Sarika Cullis-Suzuki. The couple are now grandparents of 10 children who are the joy of the couple.

Talking about his marriage to Tara and the longevity of the marriage, Suzuki told streetsoftoronto– “A profound respect. I often say, when we first met, all the superficial things, like looks and lust, blinded me to what an amazing human being Tara is. She is way smarter than I am in a strategic sense, but it is her rock-solid values of honesty and empathy that I rely on daily to keep going in the right direction.“
Tara Elizabeth Cullis is the founder of the David Suzuki Foundation
According to David Suzuki’s website, Tara founded or co-founded nine other organizations before co-founding the David Suzuki Foundation in 1990. The couple has been the driving force behind the David Suzuki Foundation for over 30 years. The award-winning writer is a former faculty member of Harvard University. Tara Cullis has also been a key player in environmental movements in the Amazon, Southeast Asia, Japan, and British Columbia.
Aside from that, David Suzuki’s wife was a founder of the Turning Point Initiative, now known as the Coastal First Nations Great Bear Initiative. This brought First Nations of British Columbia’s central and northern coasts into a historic alliance, protecting the ecology of the region known as the Great Bear Rainforest.
Talking about her works, Tara Elizabeth Cullis revealed on their website- “Our Western point of view currently overvalues the linear, reductionist left brain. This lack of balance is destroying ecosystems and cultures. My focus is to bring our world back into balance by bringing right-brain thinking — that of Indigenous peoples, women, poets, musicians, and philosophers – back into the equation. Why work with half a brain!“
