Personal Life
Stevenson lives with anthropologist Hugh Brody, her partner since 1993. The couple live in Highgate, North London. They have two children, both born in Camden, London: Rosalind Hannah Brody (born 1994) and Gabriel Jonathan Brody (born late 2000/early 2001).
She is an atheist, but considers herself a spiritual and superstitious person.
In 1992, she appeared in a political broadcast for the Labour Party.
She has been a critic of the MMR vaccine, as well as a supporter of the discredited Andrew Wakefield, whose research was based on a sample of twelve children. In 2003, she appeared as the campaigning mother of an autistic child, alongside Hugh Bonneville (as Wakefield) in the 90-minute drama, Hear the Silence, based on this issue, while Stevenson vocally joined the campaign against the MMR vaccine. Wakefield's work has since been discredited; and the articles against the MMR vaccine recanted by The Lancet.
In 2008, she campaigned on behalf of refugee women with a reading of 'Motherland' at the Young Vic.
