Pearson's Personal Life Is A Mystery To Solve

There is no doubt that media personalities are in front of the camera always; hence, it should be easier to access their personal life. However, when it comes to Hampton, he is so secretive that not a single thing is known about his relationship status.

Up to date, Pearson hasn't revealed anything about his married life. Therefore, it is not known if he has tied the wedding knot or not. However, some source claims that he is married and has a family. On his social account, there isn't a single picture of his wife or his family.

Pearson, who might be in his late 60s, may have had few affairs in the past. But again, it is unsure because Hampton has kept all the details behind the curtains. He is probably living with his family as of now.
