Personal Life
Aged 16, Beverley, then pregnant, married Paul Atkinson in 1974. She later miscarried. Two years later, the couple had their first child, a daughter named Rebecca Callard, who later became an actress. A year later, the couple divorced, with Callard later recalling: "we were too young. He had an alcohol-induced violent side."
In 1980, Beverley married David Sowden, an economics teacher. During the marriage, Beverley had an abortion. In 1988, the couple separated amicably. Beverley fell pregnant in 1989 to Steve Callard, and the couple married. Their son, Joshua was born in 1990. The pair separated due to Steve's infidelity, once occurring whilst Beverley was recovering from cervical cancer treatment.
In an article revealed by Digital Spy in August 2008, it was announced that Callard's pay, along with other Street stars, would be cut due to the credit crunch. She personally suffered the most, losing 40% of her wage.
Beverley now lives with her husband, Jon McEwan, in Eccles, Salford, with Jon's son Ben. They used to own a roadside pub just behind Salford Royal Infirmary, The White Horse, and adjacent carvery-style restaurant M30 for which Callard had what Salford Online called "grandiose ideas", but sold it to Maria Ball and her partner in 2010.
They married on 30 October 2010, at the Hazelwood Castle Hotel, near Leeds.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:
“A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
