Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has shared more about his personal life ahead of the upcoming election, discussing his brief marriage in his early 20s, a broken engagement to a pregnant fiancée, and the death threats he and his family have faced.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has spoken of his relationships before meeting with his wife Kirilly, discussing his divorce and a broken engagement to a pregnant fiancée as he reveals more about his background in the lead up to the election.
That relationship would have been in the early 1990s. Later, Dutton said he was engaged to another woman who was pregnant with his first daughter Rebecca, who was born in 2002. “In terms of how Kirilly responded to that, again, all in a stride and … have never seen each other as stepbrother and sister, that has never been language in our household,” Dutton said. “The kids have always been treated equally by me, by Kirilly and I think that’s been an important thing as well.”
