With John-Patrick Smith, he made it into the Australian Open that year. It was here that he successfully managed to attain the first Grand Slam victory in his career while defeating the Polish duo, Mariusz Fyrstenberg and Marcin Matkowski. In February 2013, John Peers established what appeared to be a highly successful partnership with doubles specialist, Jamie Murray. Just a few months later in the same year, John Peers and Jamie Murray won their first title together at the U. S. Men's Clay Court Championships.
In 2016 and 2017, John paired up with Henri Kontinen, then with Max Purcell, Ashleigh Barty, Storm Sanders, and others over the next few years.

While fans are keeping their eyes peeled on whether John Peers and Olivia can become the first pairing to win back-to-back Australian Open mixed doubles titles in 37 years, let's take a look at John Peers' off-court partner and real-life wife, Danielle Montgomery.
Die-hard fans of professional tennis player, John Peers often wonder about his personal life, especially his relationship status. Well, in case you were wondering the same, let us tell you that John Peers is happily married to Danielle Montgomery. According to reports, the duo tied the knot almost a decade back, in November 2016. Not much is known about John's wife, Danielle, as she usually keeps out of the spotlight, unlike her husband.
However, we found that she is a professional golfer who has played on both the European and Asian Tours. A quick look at John's Instagram profile reveals that he enjoys playing golf with his wife. In a December 2, 2023, post, John Peers posted a carousel of pictures of the duo and jokingly captioned the post:
“We are still married!! So proud of my wife for giving it a crack this week. Was a lot of fun being on the bag at the @ausopengolf #theaustraliangolfclub”
In one of the pictures posted by John, he and his wife, Danielle, are seen posing together in front of the camera, with John's arm across her shoulder. On the other hand, Danielle put her arm across her husband's waist. What caught our eye the most was that John Peers and Danielle Montgomery wore matching outfits to the golf course. Both of them wore a collared sky-blue t-shirt. While John paired his t-shirt with knee-length grey trousers, his wife wore a short white tennis skirt with a crisscross waistband, making it a perfect trendy look when paired with the t-shirt. To complete their matching outfits, John and Danielle also wore similar white hats.
After seeing their couple pictures and John Peers' hilarious Instagram caption, fans immediately took to the post's comments to share their thoughts. One follower praised John, writing, “Good on you,” and followed it with clapping hands emojis. A second comment after seeing the tennis player on the golf course with his wife warned him by writing, “Don’t quit your day job.” A third comment read, “Too good,” while another wrote, “Love it.” Another comment under the post could be read as, "Bl**dy good job both of you. Can't wait for the next. The nerves will pass." A user also praised both Danielle and her husband and penned:
“Huge achievement to stay married, add support after a great golf comeback from Nicole. Maybe quit the day job & go all in. She's definitely got the talent in the family.”
According to reports, during their marriage, John Peers and Danielle Montgomery have welcomed two daughters, Ellie Rose and Harper Grace. If reports are to be believed, Ellie is Harper's elder sister. On her personal Instagram account, which has just over 1k followers, Danielle proudly mentions in her bio that she is a mother (in addition to being John Peers's wife). She also gives her followers several glimpses into her family life with John and her two children on her account.
Apart from that, most of her posts centre on supporting her husband's tennis career. In photos of herself, she is usually seen playing golf, though it is worth noting that Danielle has a separate IG page "for all things golf". Here, Danielle seems to share “tips, lessons, insights and much more.”
According to a report by Perth Now, John Peers, who was initially a resident of Victoria, moved all the way to Perth in order to be with his now-wife and then-fianceé, Danielle Montgomery. Following the move and finally being closer to Danielle, John claimed that it was “great being based in Perth.” At the time, he further added:
"Everything is a little bit smaller and a little bit easier, and the temperature is always a little more consistent [than Melbourne]."
