The interesting thing is that she met Jerry Seinfeld for the first time just two months after getting married to another man called Eric Nederlander who happens to be a theatrical producer. As a matter of fact, she had only just gotten back from her honeymoon with Nederlander when Seinfeld came into the picture.

Soon after this first meeting, they started dating and about four months after her marriage to Eric Nederlander, she filed for divorce from the man. It was not long before people took note and began to slam her. They accused her of leaving Nederlander to follow Jerry Seinfeld because Seinfeld was richer and more famous.
