Personal Life
In his early twenties, Cash had two children with his then-girlfriend, the Norwegian model Anne-Britt Kristiansen. They have a son, Daniel (born 27 May 1986) & a daughter Mia (born 1988). From 1990 through 2002, Cash was married to Brazilian Emily Bendit. Their twin boys, Shannon and Jett, were born in 1994. Jett Cash is an up and coming tennis player.
Cash became a grandfather in May 2010 at the age of 44 when his daughter Mia gave birth to a baby girl. One of the more unusual titles was Sexiest Grandfather of the Year by an independent poll in a UK women's magazine.
He continues to support various charities including GOAL (3rd world development and relief organisation) The Orchid Appeal (men's cancer) and founded Australia's best known environmental charity Planet Ark with mate Jon Dee. The two of them having moved on from Planet Ark have set up Do Something! an organisation that helps Australians to create social and environmental change. http://dosomething.net.au/

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)
“In Vietnam, some of us lost control of our lives. I want my life back. I almost feel like I’ve been missing in action for twenty-two years.”
