Tomei has never been married and does not have any kids. She has expressively talked about the idea of marriage and how women in society are viewed when they have children:

"I'm not that big of a fan of marriage as an institution. And I don't know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings."

Instead, Tomei, 59, has prioritized her career over the years and has starred in the blockbuster film franchise "Spider-Man" with Tobey Maguire, Tom Holland, and Zendaya. Of her many acting opportunities, an insider once said:

"She is living life to the fullest and getting offers other actors would kill for."
