Facing a life without Claire, Jamie married Laoghaire in 1764 so he could be a father to the girls, since he never got the chance with Brianna or Willie (Clark Butler). However, the marriage didn't last long and Jamie ended up leaving. When Claire returns in 1766, Jamie and Laoghaire's marriage is declared in invalid.
However, after some convincing from his sister Jenny Murray (Laura Donnelly), Jamie married Laoghaire. Sadly, their relationship didn't work out and before long she moved out with the pair estranged.
In late 1764, after Jamie had returned to Lallybroch from prison and indentured servitude, his sister Jenny Murray arranged a marriage between him and Laoghaire. However, the marriage was a failure, and within a year Jamie left Laoghaire and moved to Edinburgh.
Jamie has a son named William Ransom with Geneva Dunsany, who died during William's birth. Jamie also has two stepdaughters, Marsali MacKimmie Fraser and Joan MacKimmie, from his marriage to his second wife, Laoghaire MacKenzie.
When Claire returns to the past, she and Jamie reconnect and begin to live as man and wife once again. But some might be wondering what the legal implications of Jamie's marriage to Laoghaire might mean. Given he remarried after Claire, it seems possible their marriage might be void after all.
Unable to sleep, Claire heads to Colum's library to borrow a book, and ends up eavesdropping on a conversation between Colum and Dougal. She discerns that Dougal has gotten Laoghaire pregnant.
Just as she begins to worry that Jamie might be capable of lying to her, Jamie quells her fear by revealing to her his indiscretion with Mary MacNab, a woman who worked at Lallybroch, while Claire was back in 1968 with Frank and Brianna. This confession soothes Claire, and the two find themselves realigned once again.
This one stings.
The simple answer is no. Claire and Jamie don't have any more children after Brianna. Claire heads through the stones while pregnant with Brianna at the end of the second season/book. She spends 20 years in the 20th century, and she and Frank don't have any children together.
The writers of Outlander made a big change to the series from the source material in season three. In the third outing, Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) tied the knot with Laoghaire MacKenzie (Nell Hudson) during the 20 years while Claire (Caitriona Balfe) was in the future.
Laoghaire goes completely nuts. She tells Brianna her mother is a witch who should have burned at the stake, that she bewitched Jamie and nastily tells her that Jamie never wanted a child, so he sent Claire away. She locks Brianna up.
At the start of the eighth book, Jamie reveals that he is alive. He had been on another ship with Jenny. He does find out that Claire and John married, and it ends his friendship with John.
Nonetheless, Jamie did have sexual relations with Laoghaire in a bid to make the marriage work but ultimately failed and so the couple separated. Additionally, it seems Jamie was acting of out duty to his new wife however past trauma meant Laoghaire was unable to reciprocate.
Mary Hawkins' baby was that of Alex Randall, with her and Jack only marrying to ensure Mary was provided for after Alex's death. But that didn't make Mary and Black Jack Randall's wedding valid. If you remember back to “The Wedding,” Jamie made it clear that he and Claire had to consummate the relationship.
Later, Tom discovers that Malva is pregnant, and in a dramatic revelation, Malva names Jamie as the father.
Claire Fraser was born on October 20, 1918.
That would make her 27-and-a-half at the time she and Jamie meet in the books, while Jamie's barely 22. This would make Claire five and a half years older than Jamie.
Claire gives him a beautiful, tender answer: she shares his regret, but regret is not enough. And together they make the decision to give the baby to Lucinda, a young mother who lost her own baby at birth, and has both love and milk in abundance.
Author Diana Gabaldon, who wrote the book series upon which the Starz TV show is based, has confirmed that it is Jamie's ghost that Frank saw, but she's also stated repeatedly that Jamie cannot travel forward in time.
Stay tuned for more on Season 7 as it continues to take shape at Starz, and settle in for the next Droughtlander, which will thankfully pass quicker than Claire and Jamie's 20-year separation through time.
But as fans know, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire Fraser's (Caitriona Balfe) love story was put on hold for 20 years. And during those two decades, they didn't know if they would ever see each other again. It was during that time apart that Jamie married another woman — Laoghaire MacKenzie (Nell Hudson).
Jamie does admit he's slept with someone else, telling her about his one-night tryst with Mary MacNab (Emma Campbell-Jones) before he turned himself in to authorities following the Battle of Culloden nearly 20 years prior.
Claire Saves Jamie's Life by Giving Him a [NSFW] in Outlander Season 5, Episode 9. Forget CPR! So, this entire episode of Outlander basically revolved around an evil snake (Lord Voldemort, is that you?) biting Jamie's thigh, and it was all extremely dramatic and angsty so let's get right to it.
It won't arrive soon enough, however, as Claire and Jamie have become separated on the orders of the treacherous Richard Brown. Tom promises Claire her husband is safe and would be going home but he is taking Brown's word on the matter which isn't worth very much.
Jamie: "Claire, it was you. It's always been you, and it always will be. Get into bed and put the candle out.
