Personal Life
Tierney married actor-director Billy Morrissette on February 1, 1993, two days before her 28th birthday, after the two met on the set of a never-aired television series. After being married for 13 years, she filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. They had no children.
On February 1, 2009, the recently ordained Tierney officiated at the wedding of ER castmate and friend Parminder Nagra and photographer James Stenson.
Tierney had surgery to remove a tumor from her breast in 2009. Schedule conflicts with her cancer treatments led her to leave the cast of Parenthood, where she had been cast as an original cast member. She was replaced by Lauren Graham. She finished treatment and returned to work in a stage play in 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“The danger lies in forgetting what we had. The flow between generations becomes a trickle, grandchildren tape-recording grandparents’ memories on special occasions perhaps—no casual storytelling jogged by daily life, there being no shared daily life what with migrations, exiles, diasporas, rendings, the search for work. Or there is a shared daily life riddled with holes of silence.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
