Hodges and Slash (Saul Hudson) originally dated in the early 1990s and rekindled their relationship around 2014 after Slash filed for divorce from his previous wife, Perla Hudson. Their relationship has been notably close and supportive, with Hodges being a familiar presence in Slash’s life, both personally and during his musical tours with Guns N’ Roses as well as his other projects. Together, they share a blended family, including Hodges’ children from a previous relationship, one of whom, Lucy-Bleu Knight, was considered Slash’s stepdaughter.
