The couple divorced in 1999 after six years of marriage. Years after the divorce, they were able to have a "better relationship". In 2003, she began a relationship with Tyree Clowe, a US soldier 15 years her junior. The couple remained together for over five years.

A judge in Sanford, Florida, temporarily banned Jack from distributing photographs of Runnels ahead of a hearing.
