Lil has split from her fiancé, Tommy Hibbs. Both Lil and Tommy, a warehouse manager, had been going out for four years.  In The Mirror, Lil said: "We'd been together for a long time but being in the band has taken its toll.  Our schedule over the past few months has been unbelievable and it got to a point where I hardly saw Tommy at all.  But we are still the best of friends.  And, who knows, one day we'll be able to sort this out.  But, for now, I'm sad to say that we're no longer together."
