Personal Life

On 14 April 2007, Hackett married Australian singer Candice Alley. In March 2009, Hackett announced that his wife was expecting twins and in September she gave birth to Jagger and Charlize.

On 29 October 2011, police were called to attend a dispute at Hackett and Alley's Melbourne apartment, which was reportedly found in disarray. The couple did not publicly elaborate on the events of the evening, however Hackett admitted shortly afterwards to being "overwhelmingly embarrassed" by his behaviour. On 3 May 2012, Alley and Hackett announced that they were separating.

Hackett holds a Bachelor of Laws, Bachelor of Commerce, and an Executive MBA from Bond University. He also has a Diploma of Financial Services.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt—for “woman.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Guilty, guilty, guilty is the chant divorced parents repeat in their heads. This constant reminder remains just below our consciousness. Nevertheless, its presence clouds our judgment, inhibits our actions, and interferes in our relationship with our children. Guilt is a major roadblock to building a new life for yourself and to being an effective parent.
    Stephanie Marston (20th century)
