Sky married Alex Band of The Calling, but they subsequently separated.

On September 10, 2013, The New York Times published an op-ed by Sky entitled "My Life as a Warrior Princess", in which she compared the abusive and exploitative working conditions she experienced as a teenage fashion model with the much superior working conditions she experienced as an actress. She described how inspirational she found her work on the show Xena: Warrior Princess.
