Personal life

The two met on a blind date in April 2001, were engaged two months later, and were married on November 20, 2001, at the Archdiocesan Cathedral of the Holy Trinity on New York City's Upper East Side. They have two daughters: Elliott Anastasia Stephanopoulos (September 9, 2002) and Harper Andrea Stephanopoulos (June 2, 2005).

Some people say you can tell a lot about a person by the look of her home. I sincerely hope that's not true. If it is, I've got multiple-personality disorder. In the past ten years, I have moved six times. Each relocation has resulted in a complete reinvention of my surroundings, from neutral linens and bohemian block prints in Los Angeles to nailheaded furniture and bold colors like eggplant in Manhattan. So when my husband, George Stephanopoulos, host of ABC's Sunday news program This Week, and I settled in Washington, D.C., a few years ago with all the seashells I'd been collecting since childhood, I found myself faced with a Colonial Revival house in Georgetown and a palette trained in Hollywood. More important, how could my fragile branches of Pacific coral survive a house full of kids?

To answer this and other pressing domestic questions, I called my style shrink, interior designer Elizabeth Martin. My roommate in boarding school, she had transformed our 12-foot-square dorm room into a Paris-style pied-à-terre. This time around, Beth did what any friend with a passion for Oly furniture and David Hicks textiles would do—grabbed her swatches and jumped on a plane.
