Heaton has been married to English actor and director David Hunt since 1990.[3] They have four sons[45] and as of 2002, they divide their time between Los Angeles and Cambridge.[46] Her memoir, Motherhood and Hollywood: How to Get a Job Like Mine, was published by Villard Books in 2002.[47]

After her divorce from her first husband, Constantine Yankoglu, she went through a self-described "Protestant wilderness". As of June 2017, Heaton's first marriage had been annulled by the Catholic Church and she had returned to being a practicing Catholic.[48][49]

Heaton has been open about having plastic surgery, citing having a tummy-tuck and a breast reduction after undergoing four Caesarean sections.[50]

In a 2020 interview for Parade, Heaton revealed that she had quit drinking two years prior.[51]

Politics

[edit]

Heaton's political views have been described as conservative, and until 2021, she was a registered Republican.[52][53] In 2016, she voiced her disapproval of her party's then-presidential nominee Donald Trump.[54] She later stated that she had "given up politics" following the election, but continued to express her admiration for Mitt Romney.[55] After the January 6 United States Capitol attack,[56] Heaton condemned the event,[57][58] and announced that she would leave the Republican Party and become an independent voter.[59]

Abortion and birth control

[edit]

Heaton is a committed pro-life activist and is vocally supportive of groups and causes opposing abortion, euthanasia, and the death penalty.[5] Her advocacy became particularly visible during the debate regarding the Terri Schiavo case.[60] In addition, Heaton is honorary chair of Feminists for Life, an organization which opposes abortion and embryonic stem cell research and supports other pro-life causes on the basis of feminism.[5]

On February 29, 2012, Heaton criticized Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke, who advocated in favor of a contraceptive mandate for health insurance plans. Heaton said on Twitter, "I don't care if anyone uses birth control – just don't charge me for it", and wrote a series of tweets mocking Fluke's activism, as well as retweeting similar remarks from her followers. After incurring criticism, Heaton apologized and deleted most of the posts.[61]

Other views

[edit]

In August 2006, Heaton's name was in an advertisement in the Los Angeles Times that condemned Hamas and Hezbollah and supported Israel in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.[62] In October 2023, Heaton was a vocal supporter of Israel during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, releasing a video in which she compared the conflict to the Holocaust during World War II, and encouraged her followers to donate through the Beth Jacob Congregation.[63]

In October 2006, Heaton appeared in a commercial opposing a Missouri state constitutional amendment concerning embryonic stem cell research, which subsequently passed. The advertisement was a response to the election of Democratic Senate hopeful Claire McCaskill and aired at the same time as Michael J. Fox's advertisement supporting the amendment.[5] Appearing with Heaton were actor Jim Caviezel, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jeff Suppan, Seattle Mariner Mike Sweeney, and St. Louis Rams/Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner.[64] Following a public outcry, Heaton later said she regretted doing the ad and sent an apology to Fox, saying she was unaware of his ad. Fox accepted her apology and later stated, "If we can have a healthy dialogue about issues that people see differently, that's marvelous."[5]
