Speaking to Smashing Interviews Magazine back in 2011, Judy opened up about her siblings. "I have an older sister who's a nurse practitioner," explained the Scrubs star. "She's actually back in college to get her RN. I have a twin sister who is an MSW (Master of Social Work) and also an actress and I have a younger sister who does all kinds of things."

Judy is in a long-term relationship with director George Valencia. The couple became parents in 2009 with the arrival of their child.
