"I was terrified -- and bored. Terrified that he might ask me something I didn't know the answer to, and bored because I was just a 21-year-old."[2] She recalled, "The next day he's on the same Pan Am flight I am, going to Paris. When I got out 19 hours later in Paris, I was heads over heels in love with this guy."

They were married eight years later, on December 14, 1976. The Negropontes have five adopted children, Marina, Alexandra, John, George and Sophia, all of whom were adopted from Honduras.
