Family, Dating & Relationship Status
In her personal life, Sheena Easton has experienced several relationships. As of 2025, she remains private about her dating life, but sources indicate she may be in a relationship. Her past includes notable romantic involvements, including her marriage to director and producer, Robb McGaffigan, which ended in divorce. Currently, there are whispers about a potential new boyfriend, but details have yet to be publicly confirmed.
Easton's father died in 1969 and her mother had to support the family.
According to Easton's website, despite her mother's heavy workload she was always available for her children: "Sheena always speaks very highly of her mum and the wonderful job she did in bringing up her and her siblings, including teaching them all to read at home before they were even enrolled in school." Easton did not consider a singing career
until she saw the movie The Way We Were, with Barbra Streisand.
Streisand's singing over the opening credits "overtook" the young girl and convinced her that what she wanted most was to be a singer and to have the same effect on others.
Her top grades in school earned her a scholarship to attend the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow, where she trained from 1975 to 1979 as a speech and drama teacher by day, while singing with a band called "Something Else" by night at local clubs.
She chose to study teaching rather than performing, because it was a course of study that would let her perfect her craft as a singer.

Sonny and Caitlin ended up married by the end of the episode, the first of five episodes for Easton.

In 1984, Easton recorded a Spanish-language single, "Me Gustas Tal Como Eres" ("I Like You Just the Way You Are"), a duet with Mexican star Luis Miguel. The single earned her a second Grammy, this time for Best Mexican-American Performance.
The track was taken from the album Todo Me Recuerda a Ti (1984), and reissued by Capitol/EMI-Latin in 1989, which featured Spanish-language covers of seven previous Easton recordings and three new tracks. In the same year, she also made a transformation into a sexy dance-pop siren, changing her performance style in the process.
She was rewarded with the biggest-selling US album of her career, RIAA certified gold & platinum A Private Heaven (1984), and her sixth Top 10 US single, "Strut". In the UK, however, the move was not a commercial success, as Easton would find herself shut out of the UK top 75 for the next three years.
Education
Sheena Easton began her journey at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, where she honed her vocal and performance skills. This solid educational foundation helped launch her successful music career and positioned her as a versatile entertainer. Her dedication to continual learning and adaptation in the changing music landscape has kept her relevant in the industry for over four decades.
In 1979, she married Sandi Easton, the first of her four husbands. They divorced after eight months, and Sheena decided to keep the surname Easton. That year, one of her tutors coaxed her into auditioning for Esther Rantzen, producer of the BBC programme The Big Time.
Rantzen was planning a documentary film to chronicle a relative unknown's rise to pop-music stardom. Easton was selected as the subject for the programme; EMI executives awarded her a contract, and Christopher Neil was assigned as her recording producer.
Deke Arlon became her first manager, and Easton spent much of 1980 being followed by camera crews, who filmed her throughout the process of her audition through to making her first EMI single, "Modern Girl".
In the course of the filming, she met and sang for Dorothy Squires, Dusty Springfield and Lulu, whose manager Marion Massey told her that she saw Easton as a potential TV star with her own series, but not as a pop singer for the 1980s as she lacked "rugged individuality".
