Peter Wright: Target Practice in More Ways than One
Two-time world darts champion Peter Wright is known for his flamboyant hairstyles and his undeniable talent on the oche. Though, he’s also become somewhat infamous for another reason: his playful, and sometimes teasing, relationship with his wife, Joanne.Wright’s fellow darts players, particularly Vincent van der Voort, often joke about Wright’s apparent lack of authority in his own household. The topic resurfaced recently after Wright’s win against reigning world champion Luke Humphries. Wright, known for his outspoken nature, made a comment about his opponent Michael van Gerwen, prompting a witty response from the Dutchman. This ignited further banter during the popular podcast “Darts Draait Door,” where van der Voort elaborated on the dynamics between Wright and his wife. >”I don’t think Mrs. wright is very happy with Michael’s statements. And neither is Peter himself. but it often comes across in their relationship that he has no say at home. I do know that he still gets pocket money. Well If that is the case, then you are not the boss at home. So I think it is correct,” van der Voort remarked. Having interacted with Joanne numerous times over the years,van der Voort described her as a protective presence in Wright’s career. “She’s not the easiest,” van der Voort acknowledged. ”I did a demonstration with him, and she would just stand behind him to keep an eye on things, right? She’s not the easiest, but maybe does he really need that? Maybe he has difficulty dealing with money and that is why he gets pocket money,” he speculates.## Peter Wright: Target Practice in More Ways than One
**Vincent, thanks for joining us. Let’s talk about Peter Wright. You recently sparked a lot of discussion regarding his relationship with his wife, Joanne.**
Well, Peter and joanne are certainly a unique pair, aren’t they? They have this playful banter that’s always entertaining, but sometimes it blurs the line between teasing and, well, who wears the trousers.
**You mentioned on the “Darts Draait Door” podcast that Peter might still receive “pocket money” from Joanne. Is that just lighthearted ribbing, or based on something you’ve observed?**
[Laughs] I’d say it’s more of a running joke amongst us players, but based on thier dynamic, it doesn’t seem entirely far-fetched. Remember, I’ve interacted with Joanne numerous times, and let’s just say, she’s a strong presence in Peter’s life, both on and off the oche.
**Do you think Peter enjoys this dynamic, or is it something he secretly resents?**
I think Peter chuckles along with it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he occasionally wishes he had more say in certain matters. After all, he’s a world champion darts player! Still, it seems to work for them.
**Some might see Joanne as overbearing. What is your take on her role in Peter’s career?**
Joanne is fiercely protective of Peter. She’s always watching out for him, sometimes literally standing behind him during events. Is she “easy”? maybe not. But does he need that kind of support? Perhaps. Maybe he needs someone to keep him grounded and focused.
**Do you think the public’s interest with their relationship is fair? Or should we focus more on Peter’s talent as a darts player?**
That’s a great question. Peter’s achievements on the oche speak for themselves. But relationships are also a part of who we are, and they can’t be fully separated from a person’s public image.
**do you think Peter needs to assert himself more, or is this playful dynamic just part of their unique charm? here’s a question for our readers: What’s your take on the Wright’s relationship dynamic?
