Personal Life
McKenzie is the youngest of three children. Her parents, Tony and Lesley McKenzie, divorced in 1987. In 1996, at the age of 17, McKenzie became involved in an extramarital affair with 27-year-old footballer Dean Holdsworth, who was then a striker for Wimbledon F.C. The relationship received widespread attention in the British media.
In 1998, she became engaged to actor Michael Greco, who at the time was playing the role of Beppe di Marco in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. She twice became pregnant over the course of her 15-month relationship with Greco, but miscarried both times.
Claiming to have grown disillusioned with footballers and celebrities, McKenzie began dating 21-year-old window cleaner Terry Canty in 2000. The couple married on 21 April 2001 and Canty performed with McKenzie in her first heterosexual hardcore photoshoots and video. Scenes featuring the couple were released on the 2001 DVD Ultimate Linsey. However, the couple separated just six weeks after their wedding, and their marriage ended in divorce after 10 months.
In 2004, McKenzie began a relationship with former Wimbledon F.C. and Northern Ireland footballer Mark Williams. On 16 May 2005, she gave birth to the couple's baby boy. McKenzie married Williams on 5 January 2006 in a register office in London.
McKenzie's older sister Alyson (born 12 January 1974) has also been involved in the adult industry. Linsey and Alyson McKenzie appeared together in the 1995 softcore video Linsey Dawn McKenzie and Her Sister, which was re-released on DVD in 2002. Alyson received breast implants and modelled for The Score Group's series of adult publications between 2001 and 2004.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“What had really caused the women’s movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women’s life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn’t live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was “the problem that had no name.” Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.”
—Betty Friedan (20th century)
“When I think of this life I have led; the desolation of solitude it has been; the masoned, walled-town of a Captain’s exclusiveness, which admits but small entrance to any sympathy from the green country without—oh, weariness! heaviness! Guinea-coast slavery of solitary command!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
