In September 2012, Novack and her ex-husband exchanged vows, celebrating their love with family and friends at an intimate ceremony held at a private Cave Creek, Arizona residence. Novack's then-partner said at their union:

The TV star popped the question to Novack in August 2011 while they were on vacation in Orlando, Florida. However, as fate would have it, their marital bliss took an unexpected twist. In December 2015, it was reported that the couple had separated and had their marriage annulled the previous year.

Novack's ex said their breakup happened too soon, but he recognized that their decision to part ways ultimately became the best choice for both of them.

Novack's ex-husband and his new girlfriend welcomed their son, Dawson, on August 30, 2023.

The cause of the couple's split remained undisclosed, but during a 2022 interview with Maurice Benard, Duell spoke warmly of his second ex-wife and said they were "on good terms."

Novack's then-husband also expressed his respect for Hope and chose not to delve into the complexities of their situation. He highlighted her as an incredible person, both in terms of her character and her role as a dog mom.
