Personal Life
Dratch was raised in a Reform Jewish family, and had a Bat Mitzvah, but is not practicing as an adult, and instead characterizes the faith she was born into as part of her cultural heritage.
Dratch met John Wahl, a California-based consultant in the natural foods industry, in a bar in 2009. Six months later, she became pregnant, and gave birth to a boy, Eli Benjamin, on August 24, 2010. In an October 2010 interview, Dratch told People that her pregnancy at age 44 shocked her, because she "had bought into all this stuff about, 'Once you're over 40...'", and had "gone through the whole process of letting go of ". Wahl has since moved to New York City to be closer to Dratch and their son.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Healthy parenting is nothing if not a process of empowerment. As we help to raise our children’s self-esteem, we also increase their personal power. When we encourage them to be confident, self-reliant, self-directed, and responsible individuals, we are giving them power.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
“Music is of two kinds: one petty, poor, second-rate, never varying, its base the hundred or so phrasings which all musicians understand, a babbling which is more or less pleasant, the life that most composers live.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
