Patti

Newton lived at home with his mother until the age of 36, prompting widespread gossip that he was gay. But in 1974 he married Patti McGrath, whom he had known since they worked together in radio and later at HSV-7. They were married at St Dominic's Parish Church in Camberwell, with Kennedy as best man. According to the police, there were ten thousand people outside the church. The Newtons have a son, Matthew, and a daughter, Lauren. Matthew Newton has become an actor and has appeared in a number of Australian films and television dramas.
