She called Ray one day, asking him if she should do the video. He told her not to proceed with it and invited her for dinner. The two began dating, finally tied the knot in 1997, and welcomed their daughter Karsen in 1998.

After being together for seven years, their marriage ultimately fell apart. The former couple filed for divorce in 2004 following a mutual agreement. During an interview, Ray revealed that he tried to get into a relationship after the breakup, but it didn't feel as equal as he would have wanted.
