Rusedski has been with his wife Lucy Connor since 1991, when they met while he was competing in the junior tournament at Wimbledon and she was a ball girl. They married in a Roman Catholic ceremony at Douai Abbey in West Berkshire in December 1999. They have two children: a daughter, Scarlett Mary, born 27 January 2006 and a son, John James, born 1 October 2009. Rusedski is also an Arsenal football supporter.
