Missy first met her husband, Scott Reeves, when he appeared on Days of our Lives. He now works on The Young and the Restless. They have been married since 23 March 1990 and have 2 children together.

When Missy abruptly left Days of our Lives in 1995, Corday Productions and Sony TV Entertainment sued her for breach of contract and seeked damages in the amount of the remaining salary of her contract. The role of Jennifer was quickly recast with Stephanie Cameron, who remained on the show until 1998. Speculation ran rampant as to the reasons behind Missy's sudden departure, and the dominant rumour was that husband Scott Reeves had caught her having an affair with co-star Jason Brooks. This scenario is supported by the court documents filed by NBC in their breach of contract lawsuit against her.

After leaving Days of our Lives for the second time in 2006, Missy moved to Tennessee with her family.

Missy has two dogs, named Grace and Coco.

Missy starred alongside her husband Scott Reeves in the movie Half a Dozen Babies in 1999.
