Pegg met Maureen while travelling in a bus, and he believes fate is what brought them together. In an interview with The Irish Examiner, Pegg described this as “quantum attraction”. Pegg considers Maureen his soulmate. According to what he said:
“If I had matured in such a way that had stopped me thinking that sitting at the back of a bus was cool then I would never have met her. But she went to sit at the back too – she had the same impulses as me. That's quantum attraction in action. It's a notion that attraction might actually be maths - but chaotic, fabulous maths. Not fate as some sort of ordained puppet-master, rather a consequence of millions of micro-decisions happening simultaneously, drawing people towards each other.”
Maureen works as a music industry publicist. She dated Simon for a long time before getting married. She and Simon Pegg have a daughter together, named Matilda.
