Personal Life

In late 1999, when Torres was seventeen, her father H. Guy Snyder died from a drug overdose. Shortly after, in summer 2000, Torres wed Jeremiah Seawell, her high school sweetheart. The marriage ended within two years. She then married former In-N-Out employee Richard Martinez in 2004. In late 2006, Torres gave birth to fraternal twins (one boy, one girl), named Ella Jade and Silas Diego. She and Martinez divorced in 2011. That same year, she married for a third time to Val Torres Jr., a contractor and race car driver. She has two stepdaughters through Torres, named Madelyn and Kaitlyn.

Torres was to take ownership of her father's share of In-N-Out on her 30th birthday, but inherited the balance of the company that was not already in trust for her when her grandmother Esther died. Torres gained control of 50% of the company in 2012 when she turned 30, and will gain full control when she turns 35.

Torres is media-shy, although she recently participated in a profile in the Orange County Register. Like her father, she is an avid drag racing fan and member of the NHRA. She regularly competes in drag racing events. In August 2012, Torres reportedly purchased a 7-bedroom, 16-bathroom mansion with 16,600 square feet (1,540 m2) of interior space in Bradbury, California from Texas Rangers third baseman Adrián Beltré for a sum in excess of US$17 million. Torres works out of the Baldwin Park office, home of In-N-Out University and formerly company headquarters.

Famous quotes related to personal life:

    “The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
