Personal Life
Pelosi was the driver of a car that was involved in an accident in 1957 while he was still a minor. David, his older brother, was a passenger in the vehicle and died in the collision; Pelosi was later cleared of misdemeanor manslaughter.
On September 7, 1963, at Baltimore, Maryland’s Cathedral of Mary Our Queen, Pelosi wed Nancy Pelosi (née D’Alesandro). Christine and Alexandra are among their five children. From 2007 until 2011, Nancy was the 52nd Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. In 2019, she was elected Speaker once more.
After colliding with another vehicle at an intersection in Napa County in May 2022, Pelosi was taken into custody for DUI. In August 2022, Pelosi entered a guilty plea and was given a five-day jail term, a $6,800 fine and restitution, completion of a DUI program, and three years of probation.
In the wee hours of October 28, 2022, a burglar entered Pelosi’s San Francisco house and yelled loudly, “Where’s Nancy?” He then struck Paul Pelosi with a hammer. While Pelosi was being treated for blunt force trauma at the hospital, the suspect was placed into police custody. Pelosi underwent head surgery following the assault and is anticipated to fully recover. Although Nancy was in Washington, D.C. at the time of the attack, the attacker requested to see her as soon as they entered the home. The suspect’s motivation is still an open question. The 42-year-old guy was accused of attempting to kill someone.
