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 life, personal and/or life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“Denouement to denouement, he took a personal pride in the
certain, certain way he lived his own, private life,
but nevertheless, they shut off his gas; nevertheless,
the bank foreclosed; nevertheless, the landlord called;
nevertheless, the radio broke,
And twelve o’clock arrived just once too often,”
—Kenneth Fearing (1902–1961)
“The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness. He alone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past them in a kind of dream.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
