Side by side, Noam Chomsky was married twice and never had a divorce. And speaking of divorces, Chomsky was married to Carol Chomsky (married between 1949 and 2008, separated because of the death of his wife) and is currently married to Valeria Wasserman (married in 2014). That said, he has three children from his two marriages.
