Phyllis and her boyfriend, Nate Robinson. (They were together for a few years.) "I got lucky and I met a wonderful man a couple of years ago. His name is Nate Robinson, and we live in Philly together. He's an optician and owns his own business. He's shown me that there is a life other than show business. He's very supportive, and he understands that it's a job and there's constant preparation. It's not all glamour; it's hard work and late hours." - Phyllis, The Washington Informer, Feb 29, 1984.
