Mardle's wife Donna died on December 11, 2024, at age 52 after a short illness. The couple had been married for 22 years. Mardle described his grief as 'absolutely brutal' in a TikTok video, and he missed the start of the World Championship two years ago following Donna's death.
Deborah, Mardle's new partner, posted a video of the couple with the caption: 'If you're lucky enough to get a second chance at happiness, it's really important you take it.' In another post, she shared a video of her dog Moss missing Mardle, writing: 'When your boyfriend left a few hours ago and now you're watching him on TV, but the dog's only wondering when dad's coming back to walk him.'
