Jamie-Lynn Sigler - Personal Life

Personal Life

On July 11, 2003, Sigler married her agent and longtime boyfriend, A. J. DiScala, She subsequently changed her name to Jamie-Lynn DiScala, stating she is a very "traditional girl", and never had any doubt that she would take her husband's name after marrying, even professionally. However, in September 2005, Sigler and DiScala announced that they were separating, and she subsequently changed her name back. She is close friends with pop singer Lance Bass; a review by Bass was featured on the back cover of Sigler's 2002 memoir, Wise Girl: What I've Learned About Life, Love, and Loss.

During January 2008, Sigler visited Israel through the Birthright Israel program and was moved by the trip, calling Israel "one of the most beautiful, inspiring places I've ever been to." She further noted that the trip gave her a greater understanding to preserve her Jewish identity.

In October 2008, Sigler began a romantic relationship with Jerry Ferrara, whom she met while guest-starring on Entourage as a love interest of Ferrara's role, Turtle. However, they split up in December 2009 and she dated Mark Sanchez. Currently she is dating Minor League baseball player Cutter Dykstra, who is the son of former Major Leaguer Lenny Dykstra. Sigler is friends with fellow actress Joanna García; she served as a bridesmaid in García's December 2010 wedding to professional baseball player Nick Swisher.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:

    A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    The grief of the keen is no personal complaint for the death of one woman over eighty years, but seems to contain the whole passionate rage that lurks somewhere in every native of the island. In this cry of pain the inner consciousness of the people seems to lay itself bare for an instant, and to reveal the mood of beings who feel their isolation in the face of a universe that wars on them with winds and seas.
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    It is life near the bone where it is sweetest. You are defended from being a trifler.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
