Personal Life
On 12 January 2008, Everitt married partner of seven years Sheree in New Zealand. Everitt has three daughters and a son. His younger brother, Andrejs Everitt, played for the Western Bulldogs after being selected in the 2006 AFL Draft, now playing for the Sydney Swans as his big brother did. Since retiring from AFL, in 2008 Everitt and Sheree have their own TV show called Great Australian Doorstep, in which they travel around Australia by motorhome filming smaller towns with what to see and do. He also competed in the 9th season of Dancing With The Stars and was the first competitor to be eliminated.
Everitt has been criticized for comments made on Twitter and Sunrise in response to the alleged rape of a women by two Collingwood players. The Age journalist Nina Funnell said "...statements like these encourage men to believe they are entitled to have sex with vulnerable women, and women to believe they are not entitled to say 'no' once drunk or alone with a man." In a tweeted response to the controversy Everitt stated "My comments are solely aimed at warning females of the danger of being drunk or under the influence of drugs."

Famous quotes related to personal 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)
