- She has two children: son, Gib Gerard, with ex-husband, Gil Gerard, of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979) fame; and daughter, Prima Tesh, with husband John Tesh, composer and former co-host of Entertainment Tonight (1981). Prima was named for Connie's late father, Primo Sellecchia. She's of Italian origin.
- Prior to her second marriage, to John Tesh, they had a traditional courtship--no sex or living together until their wedding night--and dated seriously for two years.
- When she first met her future husband John Tesh, he had never watched her TV series Hotel (1983), but he had seen every single episode of The Greatest American Hero (1981).
- According to a "TV Guide" article published during her role on The Greatest American Hero (1981), she was fond of playing bizarre practical jokes, usually involving faking her own suicide or death. Reportedly, then-husband Gil Gerard, got so used to coming home and finding her lying in a pool of fake blood that he developed a critiquing system for her.
