Personal Life and Marriages

Marcil was married to actor Corey Feldman in 1989, with the marriage ending in 1993. Official records show that the marriage occurred under her birth name, Sally Vanessa Ortiz. Marcil has at times publicly denied the marriage, claiming they were only acquaintances during her teenage years. Despite conflicting accounts, legal documentation confirms the marriage did occur, though the couple reportedly never lived together during their two-year union.

In 2010, Marcil married actor Carmine Giovinazzo in a private ceremony. Their marriage ended in 2012 when she filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized in 2013. As part of the agreement, Marcil retained the marital home and received spousal support, and her legal fees were reportedly covered as well.

Relationship with Brian Austin Green

Marcil was in a relationship with actor Brian Austin Green from 1999 to 2003. The couple had a son together in 2002. Shortly after his birth, Marcil and Green separated. In 2012, Green filed a lawsuit claiming Marcil owed him $200,000 from a loan made in 2000. The court ruled in Marcil’s favor, deeming the lawsuit frivolous and affirming her right to pursue action against Green for it.

Speculation and Rumors

Marcil's personal relationships have occasionally been the subject of media speculation. Rumors circulated regarding a possible romantic involvement with fitness trainer Jillian Michaels. Some sources alleged the two had briefly dated before Marcil’s marriage to Giovinazzo. Other sources dismissed the speculation, stating their relationship was strictly professional, rooted in fitness training for Marcil’s wedding. While photographs of the pair in public sparked interest, both women have publicly identified their relationship as close friendship.
