She is a member of the Church of Scientology.
Her first husband was Jim Rogers; they were married from 1977 until 1980. Her second husband was actor Tom Cruise; they were married from 1987 until 1990. She is presently involved with producer Chris Ciaffa; they have two children, Lucy and Charles.
She took up competitive poker in 2003, and finished in the money in her first major tournament at the World Poker Tour's 240 player Shooting Stars main event No-Limit Texas hold 'em tournament in San Jose, California on March 4, 2004.
