Borstein marriedGilmore Girlsactor Jackson Douglas in 1999 and divorced in 2014(it was finalized in 2017).
Borstein opened up about what she learned about divorce in an interview withHuffington Postin 2015 saying, “don’t get married.”
“If you believe in romance and if you believe in marriage, you also have to believe in divorce,” she said. “You can’t just want to go to weddings and children’s birthday parties. You’ve got to witness it all. We’re just here to witness and believe in both.”

“You have to ride the highs and ride the lows,” she continued. “To know when you’ve done all you can in something and ridden it to the end is important, too. To know, which is hard. It’s hard to see that when you’re in it, but maybe that’s a good thing. You shouldn’t see it immediately because then you do the work, and you work really, really hard for as long as you can.”
The actress also won a second Emmy Award this year for her voice-over performance onFamily Guy.
