On 21 March 1996, Suzanne tied the knot with the writer and producer Mark Bamford, whom she met in Los Angeles.

After the birth of their children, they decided to settle in Cape Town, South Africa for some time:

Initially the idea was to leave Los Angeles, write for a year, return with the finished script, and shoot it in America. However, after having taught English to refugees escaping civil war in the Congo and Rwanda during our first year in Cape Town, we saw how important the work was so decided to stay. We began working on our feature film. As events unfolded and we got to know diverse people, we decided we wanted the film to reflect the human side of South Africa.

According to Afrocentric News, this short-term relocation was part of the company that promoted Hero, the movie they worked on together.

During their stay in South Africa, they carried out voluntary activities and worked together on the script to the film Cape of Good Hope.

In 2016, the couple divorced.

As of today, she lives in New York City. There is no information on whether she is dating anyone or not.
