===Marriages, other relationships and family===
Frampton has been married three times and has three children. His first marriage was to Mary Lovett, from 1972 to 1976.

Frampton was sued by J. "Penny" McCall in 1978 for [[palimony]]. McCall asked for Frampton's earnings during the five years that they were together. According to McCall, she left her husband and gave up her job as a rock promoter and devoted herself full-time to Frampton, just as he achieved superstar status. A New York judge ruled that Frampton and McCall never intended to marry each other and "never held themselves out to the public as husband and wife" and dismissed her complaint because to act otherwise would condone [[adultery]]. The case set precedent in New York.<ref>{{cite news | title=Peter Frampton Leaves Mark on Divorce and Family Law | url=http://www.johnkgrubb.com/peter-frampton-leaves-mark-on-divorce-and-family-law.html | work=John K.

{{Quote box| quote = The worst thing about playing for me is when I’m soloing, I have to actually think about what I’m playing. I don’t want to think – I want it just to be coming from my heart. That’s how I always played. And now I do have to think a little bit, because I’ll be in the middle of the passage and I’ll say, ‘That finger is not going to get there in time!’ So I do a regroup and I use one finger for many notes that I used to use three fingers for.}}

As to people asking if he's depressed with his condition, he responds, "you have to accept the things you cannot change. I learned that in [[Alcoholics Anonymous|A.A.]], and in many other places. What I have is not life-threatening, thank God, but it’s life-changing, and I’m going with the flow.”<ref name=":0" />
