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 and/or life:

    ... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    She never dies, but lasteth
    In life of lover’s heart;
    He ever dies that wasteth
    In love his chiefest part.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
