Pulliam had Ella Grace Hartwell on January 23, 2017, deriving her daughter's middle name from having gone through a difficult time with "the grace of God." Her first husband, Ed Hartwell, filed for divorce days after they announced the pregnancy in mid-2016.

Excited big sister Ella could finally tell everyone...

Just like her mommy, Ella is a horse girl and practices meditation. She enrolled in official riding lessons in the summer of 2022, to the delight of the "New Orleans Noel" actress, writing on social media that she's happy to gain a "little riding partner."
