Personal Life
Grant is a member of the Wiradjuri tribe of Indigenous Australians from the south-west inland region of New South Wales. The Wiradjuri have also roots in Inner-Victoria as well, which is where he spent much of his childhood.
Grant was married to Karla Grant with whom he had three children. A well publicised marriage break-up in 2000, prior to the Sydney Olympic Games, resulted from his starting a relationship with fellow TV personality Tracey Holmes. After a barrage from the News Ltd tabloids, while News was involved in the C7 Sport dispute with Seven, his employment at the Seven Network was terminated as a result, and they moved to Hong Kong.
Grant is the son of Stan Grant, a Wiradjuri elder.
