Jodi was married to Panfilo “Pampi” Lacson Jr., the son of Senator Panfilo Lacson, from whom she is now separated. The two met during a taping of Tabing Ilog and married at the age of 22. The marriage lasted for five years. They have a son born in 2005 named Panfilo “Thirdy” Lacson III.

In a 2016 interview, Sta. Maria revealed that she was greatly affected by her separation from Lacson, which resulted in alcoholism and drug use. She quit smoking, alcohol, and drugs after the intervention of actress Coney Reyes and became a Born again Christian. The success of her TV series Be Careful With My Heart in 2012 also helped her recover from her addictions.

On July 13, 2007, Santiago and his wife Claudine Barretto, admitted they did not know that Francswiss Investment —which accepted their money — was involved in a pyramid scam.
