Craft married Lane in 2016 & had their first child, Les William Craft, in March 2017.

While most news personalities decide against changing their name or, in some cases, aren’t even allowed to, Craft’s superiors encouraged her name change and even created a news segment on it.
Craft’s parents and older brother, who still reside in Alta Loma, California, were ecstatic about their first grandchild, who inherited the family name “William” from a tradition that has spanned over four generations.
Also excited, Craft’s miniature schnauzer Doppler—the only dog Craft has ever owned—welcomed her new little brother with open arms (and lots of licks).

If Craft had a daughter, she planned to pass on the “Chita” name, as the name has been passed down for five generations. This plan became a reality, as she had a second child, a baby girl born in December 2019.
Adamant about staying in Houston, Craft plans on growing her family as she continues her meteorologist career.
