Frances had been previously married to musician Isaiah Silva, however, their marriage ended in 2017, resulting in a messy divorce that saw France lose her late father's prized Martin D-18E acoustic guitar to her ex.

Silva had claimed that Frances had gifted him the guitar, which her father had famously used during his 1993 MTV Unplugged performance, but Frances denied this claim. Ultimately, a judge ruled against her wish to keep the guitar in her family.
