According to Hollywood Life, Stanger's engagement to her boyfriend David Krause marked a significant moment in her personal life. The couple had even made plans for adoption and starting a family. However, in 2015, they parted ways after three years together.
Reflecting on her breakup with David, Stanger expressed a blend of sadness and wisdom.

Stanger recognized that while the breakup was tough, it was also essential for personal growth and learning. She also explained that his 'astrological sign' didn’t mesh well with hers, either.
Stanger was also engaged to Andy Friedman in 2010, but their relationship ultimately ended due to a fundamental disagreement regarding their plans. Stanger revealed on Twitter that the breakup was prompted by her desire to have children, a goal which Friedman did not share.
She emphasized the importance of aligning on non-negotiable aspects of a relationship, such as starting a family, and recognized that their differing views on this matter ultimately led to the end of their engagement.
