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.

Her husband is equally successful. Joe received an MBA from Columbia's Business School, which helped launch his career as a businessman.

In 2008 he founded a company called Stockton Road Capital. He serves as the managing partner of Hummingbird Brands LLC. Joe is also the president of Lenny & Larry's LCC.

In 2005 they welcomed their first child, Josh, during a difficult delivery that resulted in her having an emergency C-section. However, she considers it all worth it. She explained:

"Motherhood is the most incredible endeavor I have ever embarked on…There is no greater love in life than having a child. If I have a terrible day at work, I come home and see Josh, and it just brightens my whole day."

Almost three years later, Natalie and Joe welcomed their second child, Hudson. According to PEOPLE, she underwent intrauterine insemination after struggling to conceive. Despite the long wait for her second son, she admitted:

"I think the age difference has actually worked to my benefit, because from day one Josh was so excited. He always wants to kiss and hold the baby."
