Robert Preston Children
Peston married the writer Siân Busby in 1998, with whom he had a son, Maximilian. Peston and Busby had known each other since their teens, and only rekindled their relationship after her friend, Peston’s sister Juliet, was hospitalized after a road collision. In the meantime, Busby had married and been divorced. Busby died in September 2012 from lung cancer, after a long illness.
Meet Maximilian Peston And Simon Peston
The couple first met each other in their teens and later married before they divorced.
After the split up, Sian married Dutch filmmaker Kees Ryninks and welcomed a son, Simon with him. However, her marriage couldn’t last for long as the couple filed a divorce and moved separately. So Simon Peston is the stepson of Robert Simon.
Robert and Sian came into contact. The duo found their old love in each other and reunited to tie the wedding knots together in 1998. They even welcomed a son named Maximilian Peston and relished their together times.
