Personal Life

Davies passed his Eleven Plus and was sent to Gwendraeth Grammar School, where he met his first wife Karen Hopkins. The couple married ten years later, and had three children: Scott (born July 1988); Grace (born November 1992); Geena (February 1995).

It was shortly after Geena was born that Karen was diagnosed with cancer, and so the family moved back to South Wales in 1995 for family support. Karen died in 1997.

In August 2002 Davies married his second wife Helen in Cardiff who was formerly part of the Welsh dance troupe the DCD seniors the Dance troupe who reached the semi-final of Britain's Got Talent in 2009. The best man role was taken by his long-time friend and ex-rugby player Ieuan Evans.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Your children don’t have equal talents now and they won’t have equal opportunities later in life. You may be able to divide resources equally in childhood, but your best efforts won’t succeed in shielding them from personal or physical crises. . . . Your heart will be broken a thousand times if you really expect to equalize your children’s happiness by striving to love them equally.
    Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)

    As the twentieth century ends, commerce and culture are coming closer together. The distinction between life and art has been eroded by fifty years of enhanced communications, ever-improving reproduction technologies and increasing wealth.
    Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
