Personal Life
In 1993, Fagen married fellow songwriter Libby Titus. Although the two of them had attended Bard College at around the same time, they did not become friends until 1987 when they were both going backstage after a Dr. John concert. Libby Titus co-wrote the song "Florida Room", which appears on 1993's album Kamakiriad.
Fagen is Jewish; his writings and interviews show a close identification with Jewish culture, but indicate skepticism about all religion. Donald celebrated his bar mitzvah at Kendall Park's Congregation Beth Shalom in 1961, a synagogue his father helped found.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
