#35: She Meets and Marries Writer Kurt Sutter in 2004 During a Career Rebuilding Phase
In the early 2000s, she met writer and producer Kurt Sutter while both were working in television. Their relationship developed during a period when she was rebuilding her career away from sitcom typecasting.

They married in 2004, forming a long-term partnership that blended personal and professional worlds. Unlike earlier relationships, this marriage coincided with stability rather than upheaval. The partnership would later play a role in her dramatic resurgence, particularly through collaborative work on Sons of Anarchy.
