On her daughter Tay Barrett's official website, she said she was "stunned and a little worried" in the first few moments when her daughter came out to her as a lesbian in 2013. However, she was "glad and delighted" that her daughter told her and that she had acknowledged it to herself, because that's "the only path to happiness." Her husband is also very supportive and loving of their daughter, who is a filmmaker and a comedienne.
