Shelley and her future husband, director/producer Harry Winer
at the 37th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards, 1985
Shelley started dating director/producer Harry Winer in the mid-1980s. They first worked together in 1984, in the telefilm Single Bars Single Women where Shelley was one of the leads and which Harry directed. They were spotted many times in each other's company throughout the 1980s. They eventually tied the knot, and, in 1990, had a daughter together. They named her Devon Rose. Rose is a 2013 graduate of Columbia University and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Sustainable Development. Shelley and Harry must be very proud of her.
