Her latest ex-husband, Steve, was her boyfriend for two years before they got married, and he said that they could choose surrogacy. Their relationship started to fall apart when Hall's friend found Steve's active online dating profile. His profile stated that he was looking for a romantic, patient, warm, and gentlewoman to share his life with when he was already married to Hall.
It hasn't been an easy path for Hall as a working actress. Hall wanted to start a family so bad that she tried to conceive over the years, then discovered surrogacy which was her last option. She created a television movie based on her real-life events featuring her and her sons. Hall now has two grown sons. She received a frame with the words "Worth the Wait" written on it. Her first few days as a parent was exhausting and frustrating, but it was also the most incredible adventure of her life. After trying so hard to have children, she finally achieved her dream. None of the acting roles or accolades mattered. None of the failed relationships and marriages mattered to her anymore. She was fulfilled when she finally became a mother.
Her divorce settlement with Steve was not a pretty one. Reportedly, she gave wrong information about her salary. He earned a lot less than her and was still ordered to pay child support for the children. Hall did not mention any of her financial details during the trial, which may have affected the court's decision.
According to various sources, she has a net worth of 12 million. Steve mentioned that Hall hacked into his computer and destroyed many confidential matters and many letters. She hired a private investigator to follow him and his girlfriend and tried to hurt and threaten them. When things escalated, Deidre verbally assaulted him in public places.
Hall is just as passionate about daytime soap operas as her fans. When she received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, she spoke about her early days in acting. She began by doing small parts on shows where she would always play the cute blonde nurse or cute blonde secretary or cute blonde anything. Although those roles were great fun, they were not sustainable and not creative enough for her. She felt that she had so much acting range that was not being used. That's when daytime operas came calling. She felt like a kid with her nose pressed against the glass, saying that she wants to be that kind of actress.
Hall has been supporting a program called the Wounded Warrior Project. It is a project inspired by the losses that families have sustained due to unrest in Iraq and Afghanistan. She is not just a super actress but also a businesswoman. She owns her brand of cosmetics, which is a favorite among women. The company goes by the name Deidre Cosmetics.
She seems to have earned the title of a multi-talent by authoring two books called the Kitchen Close-up and How Does She Do It. To top it all, Hall is an avid learner of American sign languages.
