Personal Life
Ball married his first wife, Joan Lynn, in 1964, with whom he had two sons, Robert (born 1965) and Darren (born 1969), who are now a comedy double act in their own right, performing under their surname 'Harper'. Bobby and Joan separated in 1970. He married his second wife, Yvonne Nugent, in 1974 (although some reports say 1971). They have a daughter, Joanne (born 1972). Ball and Yvonne live in Lytham St. Annes, Lancashire.
Ball became a born-again Christian in 1986, as did Cannon in 1992, with their conversion having a lot to do with the re-kindling of their broken friendship.Together they published a book called 'Christianity for Beginners'. They now regularly feature in their own gospel and "An audience with..." show in churches around the country.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Take two kids in competition for their parents’ love and attention. Add to that the envy that one child feels for the accomplishments of the other; the resentment that each child feels for the privileges of the other; the personal frustrations that they don’t dare let out on anyone else but a brother or sister, and it’s not hard to understand why in families across the land, the sibling relationship contains enough emotional dynamite to set off rounds of daily explosions.”
—Adele Faber (20th century)
“Unto a life which I call natural I would gladly follow even a will-o’-the-wisp through bogs and sloughs unimaginable, but no moon nor firefly has shown me the causeway to it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
