Personal Life
Lynch dated Margaret Shaughnessy for 10 years before the two married in 1992. Shaughnessy, an aide to state Senator Marian Walsh, was from another South Boston family, one of seven children, and majored in graphic design at the Massachusetts College of Art. She had gone to high school with Lynch's sisters, and she and Lynch were members of the South Boston Residents Group. As of 2010, Stephen and Margaret Lynch live in South Boston with their daughter Victoria Bailey Lynch and a niece, Crystal Shaughnessy.
Along with his wife, Lynch is a Roman Catholic, which he says "sets the moral compass" for his political beliefs. He prefers not to publicize his faith politically, saying, "I don't want to appear as someone who's preaching, or come off as ... 'Holier than thou.'"
