===Relationships and family===
In 1975, Ferry began a relationship with model [[Jerry Hall]]. They first met when she appeared on the album cover for ''[[Siren (Roxy Music album)|Siren]]'' (1975), which was photographed in Wales during the summer of 1975. According to ''[[Harper's Bazaar]]'', the photo shoot boosted Hall's status as an international celebrity.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Jerry Hall: The Interview |url=https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/news/a625/jerry-hall-interview/ |magazine=[[Harper's Bazaar]] |access-date=18 August 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=The Many Romances of Jerry Hall |url=https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/g2037/jerry-hall-relationships-men/ |work=Town and Country Magazine |access-date=18 August 2018}}</ref> Her stay at Ferry's Holland Park (London) home, following the album photo shoot, marked the start of their relationship. Hall and Ferry lived together, sharing homes in London and in the [[Bel Air, Los Angeles|Bel Air]] neighbourhood of [[Los Angeles]], and Hall also appeared in some of Ferry's solo music videos, including "[[Let's Stick Together (song)|Let's Stick Together]]" and "The Price of Love" (both 1976).<ref>{{cite news |title=Bryan Ferry: "People like you to be difficult and weird" |url=https://www.uncut.co.uk/features/bryan-ferry-people-like-difficult-weird-103600/2 |work=Uncut Magazine |access-date=18 August 2018}}</ref> Their relationship ended when she left him for [[Mick Jagger]] in late 1977.

Ferry rarely talks about Hall, but fans have often speculated his song "[[Kiss and Tell (Bryan Ferry song)|Kiss and Tell]]" from his album ''[[Bête Noire (album)|Bête Noire]]'' (1987) was his response to Hall's 1985 tell-all book in which she discussed their relationship.<ref>{{cite news |title=Songfacts: Kiss And Tell by Bryan Ferry |url=http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=8268 |work=Songfacts |access-date=10 August 2007}}</ref> Additionally, Ferry's 1978 solo album ''[[The Bride Stripped Bare (album)|The Bride Stripped Bare]]'' is widely believed<ref>{{cite news |last=Myers |first=Stephanie R. |title=Jerry Hall Prefers Rockers Over Brad Pitt |url=http://news.softpedia.com/news/Jerry-Hall-Prefers-Rockers-Over-Brad-Pitt-7387.shtml |publisher=Softpedia |access-date=10 August 2007}}</ref> to contain allusions to his break-up with Hall, particularly the song "When She Walks in the Room".

On 26 June 1982, Ferry married London socialite [[Lucy Helmore]], who had become pregnant with their child [[Otis Ferry|Otis]] (b. 1 November 1982).
