Christy married her husband Brendan Rooney in 2013. They welcomed their first child, Isabella, in December 2016. The actress opened up about her postpartum journey in a February 2017 post in which she shared a photo wearing only a bra and pants.

“This is me 2 months postpartum. No fancy outfits or filters,” she wrote in the caption. “It’s so important for people to see motherhood for the beauty of what it really is. It’s a massive undertaking to carry a human inside you! It’s not that easy to ‘bounce back’ right away and it shouldn’t be expected.”

She later told E! News, “I’m not doing anything to lose my baby weight except breastfeeding.”
