Personal life
Beck had three daughters with Gordon Getty.
In August 1999, Getty's "secret second family" in Los Angeles became public knowledge as a result of Cynthia Beck having a court hearing on behalf of her three daughters, seeking the possibility for them to change their surname to Getty and be able to seek to claim a share in the Getty family fortune.{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/afontevecchia/2015/04/23/the-getty-family-a-cautionary-tale-of-oil-adultery-and-death/|title=The Getty Family: A Cautionary Tale of Oil, Adultery, And Death|first=Agustino|last=Fontevecchia|date=|website=Forbes|accessdate=12 May 2019}}
In 2019, it was reported that her "longtime companion" was Girard Damien Saenz, with whom she co-owned some properties.
