Marshall's marriage to National Football League alumnus and professional wrestler
Steve McMichael lasted ten years. McMichael's mother, whom Marshall met on an airplane, set up their first meeting as a blind date. They divorced on
October 12, 1998.
Debra met Steve Williams (known on-screen as
Stone Cold Steve Austin) in 1998; they moved in together in 2000. On September 6 of that year, they married at The Little White Wedding Chapel in
Las Vegas, and she changed her name to Debra Williams. On June 15, 2002, police responded to a call to the couple's residence in
San Antonio, Texas, and found Debra with bruises and a bloody nose. On August 14, the authorities arrested Austin and charged him with misdemeanor assault. He pled no contest on November 25 and received a year's probation, a $1,000 fine, and an order to carry out eighty hours of community service. Austin filed for divorce from Marshall on July 22, 2002 and the divorce was finalized on February 5, 2003. Marshall later auctioned her wedding ring off on eBay and donated a portion of the proceeds ($27,100) to "Safe Place", an organization which assists the victims of domestic abuse.
