Tom Buchanan is married to Daisy Fay Buchanan. She is the second cousin once removed of the narrator, Nick Carraway. In chapter four, Jordan Baker says Daisy was "the most popular of all the young girls in Louisville" back in 1917 when Daisy was eighteen. She dated soldiers training at Camp Taylor, which is where she met lieutenant Jay Gatsby before he went to Europe. She was a debutante after WWII ended, and after a broken engagement to an unnamed man, married Tom Buchanan, though she tried to back out of the wedding when Jay Gatsby wrote her a letter saying he was going to be delayed returning from war. She and Tom have a three-year-old daughter, and their marriage is unstable because she knows that Tom is unfaithful.
