On 25 March 1919, Fokker married Sophie Marie Elisabeth von Morgen in [[Haarlem]]. This marriage ended in divorce in 1923. In 1927, he married Canadian Violet Austman in [[New York City]]. On 8 February 1929, she died in a fall from their hotel suite window. The original police report said her death was a suicide, but this was later changed to "vertigo victim" at the request of her husband's staff. On the subject of his marriages, Fokker wrote, "I have always understood airplanes much better than women. I had more love affairs in my life, and they ended just like the first one, really, because I thought there was nothing that could be more important than my airplanes&nbsp;... I have now learned, by bitter experience, that one must give a little too; in love one has to use one's brain just as much as in business, and perhaps even more".<ref name="HegenerFOKKER1961/2">{{cite book|author=Henri Hegener|editor=Bruce Robertson|title=Fokker—the Man and the Aircraft.|year=1961|publisher=Letchworth (UK) / Aero Publishers (US)|page=111}}</ref>
