According to a wedding announcement by The New York Times, Natalie and Joe married in August 1998. At the time of their union, their wedding announcement stated that she had chosen to keep her surname Morales.

Natalie may have kept her maiden name because she was making a name for herself as a rising star at New 12 Bronx. Nowadays, she uses the name Morales-Rhodes publically.
