Denver married Cassandra Delaney, an Australian actress, in 1988 after dating her for two years. The couple shared a home in Aspen, Colorado, and had a daughter named Jesse Belle.

Laid-Back with a Record
Denver may have been a laid-back musician who wrote music about the mountains, but in the early 1990s, he got himself into some legal trouble. He pleaded guilty to a charge of drinking and driving in 1993. He was charged the following year again while still on probation. After crashing his Porsche into a tree in Aspen, he was charged with misdemeanor driving – also while under the influence. His case went all the way to a jury trial. On the second DUI charge, the trial ended in a hung jury in 1997.
