Wife Dana Perino and Kids

Peter met his wife, Dana Perino, on an airplane flight. They were attracted to each other and decided to trade their phone numbers to continue their mutual interest with phone calls and text messages. Even though they both looked all starry-eyed at each other right away, Peter took a conservative approach because he didn't want to risk rejection. When reflecting on the start of their relationship, Peter said, "I wasn't looking for any relationship, by any means. I sat next to a 25-year-old excellent young lady, and what's the probability of some person like me having any relationship with a young lady like that? Not especially high. Thus, I wasn't hitting on her by any means. And when she gave me subtle hints, I genuinely thought it was most likely just a crush, that she enjoyed the English articulation and my comical inclination."

They got married eleven months after their first meeting. They exchanged vows in September of 1998 in England. They had a 10-day memorable honeymoon on the Greek island of Santonri. Following a year of their marriage, Perino and McMahon moved back to the United States and resided in San Diego for a long time.

Controversy and NetWorth

A noticeable incident in Peter's life occurred when the feds went after him after a government warrant was issued for his arrest. He was wanted for not paying an unleashed dog ticket in time. Peter was reportedly strolling with his dog in Lincoln Park without a leash when a U.S. Park Ranger advised McMahon to "pick up control" of Henry the dog and "put him on a chain."

Peter's dog is a vizsla which is Hungarian chasing dogs like German Shorthaired Pointers. They are hyperactive, and if the owner doesn't give them a chance to play around and get their energy outside consistently, they will crush everything in the home. Peter did not listen to the park ranger and told the park ranger to leave him alone. As reported by the Washington Examiner, McMahon said the recreation center ranger that he didn't have a leash. The cop didn't care and issue a $25 ticket to Peter. Peter was annoyed and told the ranger, "Why not go chase down a few squirrels?"

Peter claimed to lose the ticket, so he didn't have an address to send a payment for the ticket. He didn't believe it was worth the trouble to seek the information he needed to get the ticket of his record. He thought the ticket would go away on its own. The angry and offended cop would not let go of the issue. He even went as far as to issue a warrant for the unpaid ticket. Peter eventually paid the ticket but was very annoyed with the whole process. Since the government had his address and personal information, he felt they should have just sent him a ticket copy. If they had done that, the whole mess could have been avoided.
