Personal life
On 18 July 2008, Macdonald became engaged to football player Steve Lovell and consequently attended many Falkirk matches, as he was playing with the club at that time. The wedding was postponed so that Macdonald could focus on her music career. The couple split amicably in June 2012. Macdonald is a Rangers supporter. Macdonald announced in January 2016 that she was engaged to former Aberdeen, Rangers and current St Johnstone footballer Richard Foster.
Macdonald is also a supporter of Scottish Independence.
