Personal Life
Gay resides in Clermont, a suburb of Orlando, Florida. He has a daughter with Shoshana Boyd, Trinity, who was born around 2001, and devotes himself to the care of both his own daughter and his niece Destin. While Brauman was in prison for fraud, Gay looked after the coach's wife and daughter. His mother Daisy married Tim Lowe in 1995, adding two half-siblings, Seth and Haleigh Lowe, to Gay's family.
Gay attended the St. John Missionary Baptist Church as a child, and when he returns home he still attends the church services. His beliefs matter to him both on and off the track: "I'm a religious man, so I really believe in my God-given ability, that I can do the unexpected. I really do believe I can break a record, or come close to it, or win a medal." He is frequently described as a modest and respectful athlete, standing in direct contrast with previous world-class US sprinters.
Gay has sponsorship deals with Adidas, Omega SA, McDonald's and Sega. He spends his spare and free time with his daughter Tiffany Gay.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“A tree is beautiful, but what’s more, it has a right to life; like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees. Forests create climate, climate influences peoples’ character, and so on and so forth. There can be neither civilization nor happiness if forests crash down under the axe, if the climate is harsh and severe, if people are also harsh and severe.... What a terrible future!”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
