Here’s the short, chill answer: No, Ian Dunn did not remarry in the traditional sense. His relationship with Ian Leith was his one great, lifelong partnership, even though they eventually separated. After that, he had other relationships, but he never walked down the aisle—or even strolled down a registry office corridor—again.
Why is that interesting? Because it shows us that marriage wasn’t the ultimate goal for him. For a man who spent his life fighting for legal recognition, his own love life stayed happily outside that box. It’s a kind of quiet rebellion, isn’t it? Like a punk rocker who writes a love song but refuses to play it on the radio.
A Life Full of Different “I Do’s”
Ian Dunn did commit, though—just not in a way that involved a wedding ring. He committed to his son, to his activism, and to building a community for LGBT+ people in Scotland. Think of it this way: some people are married to their cause, and Dunn was absolutely married to his.

He also had a knack for unconventional families. After splitting from Ian Leith, he remained close with him and their child, creating a blended, chosen family long before that was trendy. It’s like he invented his own relationship rules, ones that prioritized love over legal paperwork.
