Summary from Wikipedia

Scandalously and unconventionally for the era, she lived with George Henry Lewes as his conjugal partner, from 1854-1878, and called him her husband. He remained married to his wife and supported their children, even after she left him to live with another man and have children with him. In May 1880, eighteen months after Lewes's death, George Eliot married her long-time friend, John Cross, a man much younger than she, and she changed her name to Mary Ann Cross.
