For many years, she went by the name Eva LaRue Callahan. They have since divorced. LaRue and Callahan have one daughter, Kaya McKenna. In August 2006, it was revealed that LaRue's sister, Nika, was one of the women photographed by convicted serial killer William Richard Bradford for his collection. She was no. 3 (out of 54 women) on the poster released by the LAPD to find living victims. Bradford would photograph women he met in bars under the guise that he would assist their modeling careers.

"We hit it off, and we've been inseparable ever since," she says. And after two failed marriages to actors, she's happy her fiance is not in showbiz. "He owns a seafood company and exports fish all over the world," she says. "A totally different business, which is awesome!" Eva adds that Joe is romantic, thoughtful, and loves to travel as much as she does. The two plan to return to Africa for the wedding because it holds "a special place" in her heart since Joe proposed there while on vacation. "I was driven to tears and totally speechless as he placed the four-carat ring on my finger," says LaRue. The pair plan to marry in Zimbabwe sometime in 2009. Eva LaRue: See also
