De Rossi had ... begun at an early age to be aware of her attraction to other girls. While still in high school, she fell in love seriously enough to gather her savings and ask her girlfriend to move in with her. She was rebuffed, however, and instead graduated from high school and started law school at the University of Melbourne.

De Rossi, die nun ihr Leben als homosexuelle Frau lebt, war mit Mel Metcalfe verheiratet. Auch wenn diese Heirat auf einer Beziehung beruhte, war es doch mehr ein Versuch, eine Greencard zu bekommen. Die Ehe klappte aber nicht und eine Scheidung war die Folge.
