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 related to personal 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)
