She was married to Zoey Tur, previously known as Bobby Tur. She met her ex-husband in 1978 at Westwood Bruin Theatre and experienced love at first sight. 

The fact that Bobby was five years younger did not affect their love for each other and soon they started dating.

On their first date, the love-struck couple attended a flying lesson together which was quite romantic. 

They took a step forward in their relationship and soon they started living together. In 1983 they were blessed with their first child Katy.
