According to the Sun, Cassandra Peterson wed Mark Pierson in 1981, and they share a daughter named Sadie. At one point in Peterson's career, her now ex-husband even worked as her manager. However, the duo went their separate ways in 2003, which was when Peterson first met Teresa Wierson. According to Entertainment Weekly, Wierson was a trainer who was fresh off her own split when she moved into Peterson's home. Over time, Peterson's relationship with Wierson blossomed, and she ended up never moving out. In her memoir (via Entertainment Weekly), Peterson recalled the first time she and Wierson kissed — and the moment they went from being 'just friends' to romantic interests. "I told her goodnight and suddenly felt compelled to kiss her — on the mouth," Peterson wrote.
Previously, Peterson had never been interested in women, but this all changed with Wierson. She detailed how her friends and family were aware of her relationship with the trainer, but that she'd opted to keep it a secret from fans for many years. "So I worried that if I announced I was no longer living the 'straight life,' my fans would feel lied to, call me a hypocrite, and abandon me. I'm happy and relieved to finally allow our secret to see the light of day," Peterson shared, via Entertainment Weekly.
