Family
As an only child, Buckley found his mother easier to talk to than his father, because "She got it," the "it" being religion.
He first married Lucy Gregg Buckley, daughter of Donald Gregg, who served as assistant to Vice President Bush for national security affairs. They have two children, Caitlin and William (born in 1988 and 1991). He also has a son Jonathan (born 2000), from a relationship with former Random House publicist Irina Woelfle. Buckley and Gregg divorced in spring 2011.
