Eddy is an avid surfer, and surfed frequently while playing soccer in Australia.[4]
Eddy's father Park Eddy had a stroke in July 2022. To support his recovery, the Dash wore armbands bearing his initials during match at Orlando Pride on July 8, 2022.[4]
Eddy wrote an opinion piece published in October 2025 in which she argues for the NWSL to adopt "clear rules about sex and gender eligibility". She was criticized by her teammates, who say "they are hurt and they are harmed by the article, and also they are disgusted by some of the things that were said in the article." Angel City released a statement distancing itself from Eddy's views.[17][18]
She married Archer Biggs at the end of 2025.[19]
