Kennerley was born Kerri-Anne Wright, the daughter of a builder/hobby farmer. Along with her three siblings, she was raised in Brisbane's bayside suburb of Sandgate. In 1984 she married divorcee John Kennerley at the Sydney Opera House, the first such event to be held there. "Meeting John was the biggest turning point in my life" she says. Kennerley has two step children, plus a pet dog 'Harvey', which she named after former band leader Geoff Harvey. In a recent interview in Australian Women's Weekly, she revealed that she had a miscarriage 15 years ago and will always regret not having children. Kennerley has received several nominations for the Australian Skeptics' annual Bent Spoon Awards due to her uncritical acceptance of psychics and psychic phenomena.
In June 2012 Kennerley revealed in an interview in New Idea magazine that she has breast cancer.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or 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)
“In contrast with envy, which usually occurs between two people and is focused upon another person’s qualities or possessions, jealousy occurs when a third person becomes a threat to a dyad. Jealousy involves the loss or the impending loss of a relationship that one wants to hold onto, a relationship that is vital to personal fulfillment and claimed as one’s own.”
—Carol S. Becker (b. 1942)
“Clever people seem not to feel the natural pleasure of bewilderment, and are always answering questions when the chief relish of a life is to go on asking them.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
