Personal Life
In October 1998, she married graphic artist Marc Jacobs, and they had their first daughter, Isabelle, in 2002, and their second, Katherine, in 2005. Meneses currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona with her husband and their two daughters. She was raised Catholic but converted to Judaism after graduating college. "When I met my (future) husband, Marc Jacobs, I asked if he was Jewish, but I didn't tell him I was studying Judaism. After graduation, I moved back to Los Angeles and studied with a rabbi for three more years. In March 1998, I converted. It was very emotional. I felt I was detaching from my parents, but my father gave me a big hug and said in Spanish, 'God of any religion is a good God.' In May of that year, my husband proposed, and we got married in October."

“What, really, is wanted from a neighborhood? Convenience, certainly, an absence of major aggravation, to be sure.

—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
