After 2000, she converted to Judaism fully (she was already half Jewish) before marrying the Israeli surgeon Itzhak Shasha (her own father had been Jewish). Torres and Shasha later divorced. Torres and reproductive endocrinologist David Hoffman began dating after her break-up with Shasha, and they became the parents of Tessa Grace Torres-Hoffman, born in 2006. After the birth of their daughter, Hoffman, a masters swimmer, persuaded her to begin training again.
