Personal Life
Brazier's father, Stephen Faldo, was the skipper of the pleasure boat Marchioness, which sank on the River Thames in 1989 after being hit by a dredger, killing him as well as 50 others.
Brazier has two sons from his relationship with Big Brother contestant Jade Goody, whom he was with from 2002 until 2004. They were both born in Harlow, Essex: Bobby Jack (born 2003) and Freddy (born 2004). Brazier resides in Chelmsford, Essex. They appeared in Wife Swap in 2003 and Brazier was occasionally seen in Goody's Living shows. She died on 22 March 2009 and left Brazier full custody of their sons. He did not attend her funeral in April 2009, which was widely regarded as disrespectful, but instead took their sons away from the media spotlight to stay with relatives in Adelaide, Australia.
He presented a documentary on Living TV called Superdaddy where he uses his experiences of being a single father to help other families learn to communicate with regards to their children. He insisted his sons, Bobby and Freddie, were not involved in filming and revealed during the show he has a privacy order banning any unauthorised images of the boys since Goody died, stating he prefers them to have a normal upbringing away from any media spotlight.

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)
“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)
“I don’t believe that children can develop in a healthy way unless they feel that they have value apart from anything they own or any skill that they learn. They need to feel they enhance the life of someone else, that they are needed. Who, better than parents, can let them know that?”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
