Havers has written of the [[Major depressive disorder|depression]] he experienced trying to choose between his marriage to Carolyn Cox and their young daughter Kate, born in 1977, and his mistress, Polly Williams. During this time, he consulted a psychiatrist at the Devonshire Hospital in London. Havers and Williams married in 1989, and the marriage lasted until her death on 24 June 2004. A blessing was held in [[Saint Tropez]] the following month.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}} Following his wife's death, Havers took legal action, claiming her will left him without "reasonable financial provision".  The case was settled before court; Havers was awarded £375,000 and proceeds from the sale of some of his late wife's belongings.{{citation needed|date=March 2025}}

Havers was arrested in February 1990 on suspicion of drink-driving, and taken to Harrow police station. He was later banned from driving for one year, and fined £500, but told a woman's magazine: "I thought the whole thing was pretty unfair. I was only 300 yards from home in a restaurant and had only used my car anyway because it was pouring with rain. I got the same punishment as people who are three times over the limit. I felt victimised, especially as the police know who I am." He was criticised for these comments by John Knight, co-founder of the Campaign against Drinking and Driving.<ref>{{Citation | title = Havers' drink-driving moans fail to impress | work = The Courier and Advertiser | date = 1 April 1991 | page = 6 }}</ref>
