Peter Morton was previously married to model Paulene Stone. The couple tied the knot in 1978 and welcomed their first child Harry Morton in 1981, before divorcing five years later in 1986. Following this divorce, Peter Morton married Tarlton Pauley Morton in 1990. The couple were married for seven years, until their divorce in 1997. During the course of their marriage, they welcomed two children Matthew Morton and Grace Morton.

Grace Morton was born in 1994, making her thirty-one years old as of 2025. According to LA Times, after her birth, Grace Morton's parents were involved in a lawsuit after Tarlton Morton sued Peter in 2007, alleging that he had fraudulently persuaded her to sell her stock in the extended Hard Rock cafe restaurant business. As per reports, Peter Morton had allegedly undervalued the shares she owned, convincing her to sell stocks worth $12.8 million for just $451,000 back in 2004, during a time when Tarlton Morton was going through financial difficulties.

According to Vogue Weddings, Grace Morton, who maintains a private life away from spotlight, tied the knot with her boyfriend, Matthew Budman, in 2023 with a destination wedding in Jamaica. In an interview with the outlet, Grace Morton, who was joined on her special day by her father Peter Morton and brother Mathew, explained how difficult it was for her to not have her mother and half-brother Harry Morton by her side. Her mother died in October 2017, whereas Harry Morton died from a heart attack in 2019. She said:

"As anyone who has lost someone they love knows all too well, it's often in these major life moments that their absence is most palpable. Much to my surprise, I held it together from start to finish, empowered by their eternal energy that I felt, quite literally, all around me. I could not help but acknowledge that I would not have been standing there without their unending love and support."

Grace Morton and her husband met at USC Film School, back in 2015. At his time, Morton was working as an intern at DreamCrew Entertainment, whereas Matthew worked as a producer at the same company. The couple dated for seven years before announcing their engagement in 2021.

In her interview with Vogue, Grace Morton explained the reason for choosing Jamaica as their wedding destination, noting both her and Matthew's father lived there in the 1960s. The couple's wedding, which was attended by their closest friends and family, featured a performance by singer Ali Campbell, the lead vocalist of the British Reggae band UB40.
