Personal Life
In 1992, subsequent to the release of the debut album Finally, Peniston was shortly married to Malik Byrd, who co-wrote "Inside That I Cried" and appeared by her side also in its video. In 2004, the singer married a three years younger, real estate professional named Frank Martin Jr. from Halifax, Massachusetts, whom she divorced in 2011.
While the singer's mother, Barbara Anne Quick (born August 25, 1938 in Brooklyn, New York), was also her manager, one of the Peniston's brothers, Gregory Dereck Peniston (born in 1972) is a behavior coach for children ages five to seventeen and a model, who tried to record several songs himself. He was involved in her co-production as a road manager, as well as in her charity work. She has also a sister, Linda.
Peniston is childless, sharing her home in Glendale, Arizona, with two pit bulls and a chihuahua.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The ingrained idea that, because there is no king and they despise titles, the Americans are a free people is pathetically untrue.... There is a perpetual interference with personal liberty over there that would not be tolerated in England for a week.”
—Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
“Modern equalitarian societies ... whether democratic or authoritarian in their political forms, always base themselves on the claim that they are making life happier.... Happiness thus becomes the chief political issue—in a sense, the only political issue—and for that reason it can never be treated as an issue at all.”
—Robert Warshow (1917–1955)
