However in 1994, Out placed Shimizu on the Out 100 list. Achievements continued to follow, but no matter how much she accomplishes what people still can get enough of her much publicized love life. Her sexuality and relationship with both Madonna and Angelina Jolie raised eye brows in Hollywood and around the world.

Angelina famously stated in a 1997 interview that she ‘would probably have married’ Jenny if she hadn’t instead wed first husband Jonny Lee Miller. Angelina and Jenny, embarked on a ******* love affair after they starred together in Foxfire.
For Jenny, her first marriage came in the form of model Rebecca Loos. The two tied the knot in 2005 to protest against American laws on gay marriage.

Jenny Shimizu has been married for over a year to Michelle Harper. They met in 2012 at a party and married in New York in 2014, just days after Angelina Jolie secretly married Brad Pitt in France.
