Peter, 65, met Chelsea, 64, in 1984 through his work as a radio DJ. They married two years later
‘I was totally in awe of her’ … Peter and Chelsea at a party in 2015hen Peter was asked to host an overnight Brazilian radio show in the Californian city of
While Peter was DJing, Chelsea who was driving to Santa Cruz from Mountain View, California, tuned in. “I’d just been dumped by my boyfriend and was moving to Santa Cruz with all my stuff in the back of my parents’ car,” she says. Still raw from the breakup, she felt moved by the song. “I started looking for a payphone at a gas station so I could contact the radio station and find out what it was. I remember digging through the car seats to find a dime to make the call,” she says.
Peter answered her call while he was playing another record and told her the name of the song: Palhaço by Egberto Gismonti. He didn’t think she would be able to find it in a shop, so offered her the chance to borrow his copy and record it. They arranged to meet up outside an ice-cream store in Santa Cruz. “I heard the tik-tok of heels coming down the sidewalk,” he says. “I turned and thought: ‘Oh my God, this beautiful woman is walking towards me.’ It was love at first sight for me.
The pair quickly formed a deep friendship. “We kept asking each other if we’d met before because it felt so familiar,” says Chelsea. Over the next few weeks their feelings grew and they shared a kiss in August. “It was in the little cabin he lived in. I think a realtor would call it ‘rustic’ but it was a little rough,” she says. “At the time, it seemed cool and natural, out in the middle of the woods.” They became a couple, enjoying regular dates to the cinema and gigs.

Peter Dutton issued ‘grovelling apology’ for missing Stolen Generations apologyOpposition leader Peter Dutton has issued an apology for not taking part in the National Apology to the Stolen Generations 15 years ago, according to Sky News host Rita Panahi. “He was right - the apology didn't do anything to save vulnerable women and children,” Ms Panahi said. “It didn't close the gap, it didn't see more kids attend school, it didn't change the shameful fact that Indigenous women are more than 30 times likely to be hospitalised due to domestic violence than non-Indigenous women. “So why the grovelling apology today?”
