Personal Life

Davies passed his Eleven Plus and was sent to Gwendraeth Grammar School, where he met his first wife Karen Hopkins. The couple married ten years later, and had three children: Scott (born July 1988); Grace (born November 1992); Geena (February 1995).

It was shortly after Geena was born that Karen was diagnosed with cancer, and so the family moved back to South Wales in 1995 for family support. Karen died in 1997.

In August 2002 Davies married his second wife Helen in Cardiff who was formerly part of the Welsh dance troupe the DCD seniors the Dance troupe who reached the semi-final of Britain's Got Talent in 2009. The best man role was taken by his long-time friend and ex-rugby player Ieuan Evans.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:

    The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Bondage is the life of personality, and for bondage the personal self will fight with tireless resourcefulness and the most stubborn cunning.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    ... it is the greatest of all mistakes to begin life with the expectation that it is going to be easy, or with the wish to have it so.
    Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
