Personal Life

Spiteri had a long-term relationship with the editor of Arena magazine, Ashley Heath. The couple have a daughter, Misty Kyd (named after the phrase from the Clint Eastwood film Play Misty for Me and Wild West outlaw Billy the Kid), born on 9 September 2002. The birth prompted her close friend Thierry Henry to dedicate a goal to her daughter by revealing the slogan "For the new born Kyd" beneath his shirt later that day. The couple separated in the second half of 2004.

She is a patron of children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “Your children don’t have equal talents now and they won’t have equal opportunities later in life. You may be able to divide resources equally in childhood, but your best efforts won’t succeed in shielding them from personal or physical crises. . . . 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)

    “His life was gentle, and the elements
    So mixed in him that nature might stand up
    And say to all the world “This was a man.””
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
