Personal Life
Married to Amanda, the couple have two children: son, Jake (b 1993), and daughter, Ava (b 1996). They had a house in Bexley, Kent before Peacock started his studies, and a small holiday home in Canada in the Rocky Mountains.
Influenced by the positive change he saw in his mother when she became a Christian, and already a believer in God, he started attending the local Methodist church at the age of 18. From then on, his Christian faith became central to his life. He presented a feature on Football Focus about faith in the game in December 2006. He also presented Songs of Praise on 10 February 2008, at the same time as his coverage of the African Cup of Nations final. Having studied theology from September 2006 at Ridley Hall, Cambridge, after completing his commentary duties at Euro 2008, he moved to Canada for a three-year masters course in Divinity at Ambrose Seminary. Peacock's aim is to become a pastor, vicar or minister depending on which Christian denomination he chooses to work within.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“He hadn’t known me fifteen minutes, and yet he was ... ready to talk ... I was still to learn that Munshin, like many people from the capital, could talk openly about his personal life while remaining a dream of espionage in his business operations.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
