Life outside of football

Start with his lovely family, which is unquestionably what matters most to Parker outside of football.

Parker isn’t available, which is unfortunate for the ladies. Since 2012, he has been wed to his longtime lover, Wendy Cherry. 170 guests attended their wedding, which was broadcast on SABC 3’s Top Billing.

The power couple first met and fell in love in 2005, before getting engaged. In their wedding attire of a cream suit and bridal gown, Bernard and Wendy looked stunning during the wedding ceremony in Ballito, Kwa-Zulu Natal.

Jeff Seleka, a well-known celebrity designer, clothed the bride, and the couple left in a vintage 1962 Jaguar.

Children

The union of Parker and Wendy produced two children. The couple’s first son, Skye, was born in or around 2005, and their second son, Storm, was born in or around 2011.

Parker spends a lot of time with his kids, even though Wendy is his children’s full-time caregiver. Wendy stated in an interview that her husband is the best possible father figure she could have asked for.

She said he gives up things for the boys, picks them up from school, and spends a lot of time with them.

Family is important to him

From an early age, this was obvious. For instance, when Parker was 19 years old, he bought his mother a house with the proceeds from a football deal.

House and cars

The family resides in Johannesburg, and Top Billing once featured their house. The interior of the home boasts two-toned walls, cozy brown leather furniture, and a prep island in the center of the kitchen with dark wood cabinets.
