Peter Frampton - Personal Life

Personal Life

Frampton has been married three times and has four children. His first marriage was to Mary Lovett (1972–1976). In June 1978, Frampton was involved in a near fatal car accident in the Bahamas, suffering multiple broken bones, a concussion and muscle damage. Dealing with the pain of the accident contributed to a brief period of drug abuse. He later married Barbara Gold (1983–93), with whom he had two children, Jade and Julian (who co-wrote and sang on Frampton's song "Road To The Sun" from Thank You Mr. Churchill). His third was to Tina Elfers (13 January 1996 – 22 June 2011), with whom he had two additional children, actress Mia Frampton who starred as Becca Keeler on Make It or Break It, and a step-daughter by the name of Tiffany Wiest. Frampton filed for divorce from Elfers in Los Angeles on June 22, 2011, citing irreconcilable differences.

Frampton has lived in London, Guatemala, and the USA, including Westchester County, New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville. He moved to Indian Hill, an eastern suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA in June 2000. This is the birthplace of his ex-wife Tina Elfers and the city in which they were married in 1996. They chose to live there to be closer to Tina's family. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Frampton decided to become an American citizen. He made the change in 2004.

He is a strict vegetarian.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:

    A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. The first kind depends on the personal character of the speaker; the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind; the third on the proof, provided by the words of the speech itself.
    Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)

    Dragging out life to the last possible second is not living to the best effect. The nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat. The best of life, Passworthy, lies nearest to the edge of death.
    —H.G. (Herbert George)
