Personal Life
Dratch was raised in a Reform Jewish family, and had a Bat Mitzvah, but is not practicing as an adult, and instead characterizes the faith she was born into as part of her cultural heritage.
Dratch met John Wahl, a California-based consultant in the natural foods industry, in a bar in 2009. Six months later, she became pregnant, and gave birth to a boy, Eli Benjamin, on August 24, 2010. In an October 2010 interview, Dratch told People that her pregnancy at age 44 shocked her, because she "had bought into all this stuff about, 'Once you're over 40...'", and had "gone through the whole process of letting go of ". Wahl has since moved to New York City to be closer to Dratch and their son.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Adolescence is a tough time for parent and child alike. It is a time between: between childhood and maturity, between parental protection and personal responsibility, between life stage- managed by grown-ups and life privately held.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
“One of the important things to learn about parenting is that the more you worry about a child, the less the child will worry about him- or herself....instead of worrying, watch with fascination and wonder as your child’s life unfolds, and help the child take responsibility for his or her own life.”
—Charlotte Davis Kasl (20th century)
