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."

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Perspective, as its inventor remarked, is a beautiful thing. What horrors of damp huts, where human beings languish, may not become picturesque through aerial distance! What hymning of cancerous vices may we not languish over as sublimest art in the safe remoteness of a strange language and artificial phrase! Yet we keep a repugnance to rheumatism and other painful effects when presented in our personal experience.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“What if it should turn out eternity
Was but the steeple on our house of life
That made our house of life a house of worship?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
