Married Life With Wife & Family
Tony met his wife, Sarah Ferguson, for the first time on a cricket field. While their primary-school-age sons were playing for the same team, Tony and Sarah were talking on the sidelines. Tony knew Sarah was an incredibly accomplished journalist who kept a low profile.
The journalist with a tall height of 6 feet (1.83 meters) later met Sarah at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris and fell head over heels for her. At that time, he needed a researcher, so he hired Sarah for the job.
Working together, Tony developed more intense feelings for Sarah and decided to reveal his feelings to her. Soon, they started dating, and a year later, the couple got married.
From their previous relationship, both Tony and Sarah have kids, and they have one son together. They built a beautiful family together with their children (three sons).
The couple keeps their private life away from the public’s eyes. They rarely disclose any pictures together with each other or with their family.
