Skye had a relationship with furniture designer David Netto and they had a daughter, Kate, in December 2001.

The two were engaged during their on-again, off-again bi-coastal relationship. Eventually they broke up.

In 2008, Skye became engaged to Australian musician Ben Lee. On December 29, 2008, Skye and Lee were married in a Hindu wedding ceremony in India. They have a daughter, Goldie Priya Lee, who was born September 24, 2009.
