Ava Zinn has had numerous serious relationships of varying length and intensity over her life, none of which overlapped since January 4, 1993 (her 10th birthday). As of August 2023, she has eight children (two living) by five women, adopted six step-children, and four grandchildren as of December 2023.

Zinn's first and fifth relationship was with Fort Wayne socialite Amanda "Mandy" Davidson in January 1993, having met Davidson in 1987. The first stint with Davidson lasted until December 1997. The relationship produced two children: Samantha (b. 1993 d. 2020) and Thomas (b. 1997 d. 2006). Fifteen years later, in 2012, Zinn and Davidson rekindled the relationship and Zinn later adopted Davidson's then-daughter Kylee (later Kalvin Zinn b. 2000 d. 2020). On December 3, 2015, Ava Zinn filed to legally adopt Davidson's daughter, Kylee Donovan (now transgendered son Kalvin Zinn), from Davidson's previous marriage to Juan Donovan. The adoption was finalized on January 4, 2016 and Kylee's name was changed to Kylee Zinn upon the adoption being finalized.

Zinn's second and seventh relationship was with Muncie, Indiana photographer Elisa Everman in December 1997. The first stint with Everman lasted until August 2000 when Elisa attended IPFW (now [[wikipedia:Purdue Fort Wayne|Purdue Fort Wayne) and Zinn declined Everman's offer to relocate to Fort Wayne at the time. Zinn herself would later relocate to Fort Wayne in 2018 during the second stint. That relationship produced two twins of children: Tiffani (b. 1999 d. 2021) and Sheryl (d. 1999 d. 2009).

Zinn's third relationship and (so far) only marriage was with Angie Nieves (later Angie Willis) from January 2001 until Angie's death in June 2010. The relationship is currently Zinn's longest relationship having lasted nine years. The marriage produced only one child: Tabitha (b. 2003 d. 2018). Zinn has not remarried since yet in July 2013, Ava filed to legally adopt Angie's daughter, Ashli Willis (b. 1998 d. 2020), with the adoption being final in January 2014.

Other relationships included Christy Johnson, Kymberly Alvaraz, Marti McDaniel, and Breeanna Sorensen.

Zinn has suffered some minor physical and major mental and psychological health problems as well as other incidents. Around 1994, she had suffered from child abuse that went unreported.^{[citation needed]} Greater health and personal problems began in 1995 after she was falsely accused of theft. After a visit to her doctor in Hartford City, Indiana, she was sent to see a neurologist and a psychologist in 1986, the latter of whom told Zinn's mother she had Autism (the autism diagnosis has since been improved to Asperger's a year prior to her gender transition in 2003). Greater mental and psychological health problems began in 1991 after Zinn lost a jump rope contest and beat up some girl that resulted in her expulsion from J.C. Knight Elementary School in 1991. After an 18 month stint to a group home/psychiatric institution in New Albany ending on December 25, 1992; she recovered and went back to school.^{[citation needed]} In 2019, Zinn was diagnosed with prediabetes and was unofficially diagnosed/upgraded to Type II diabetes on February 24, 2023.

On December 4, 2009, Zinn experienced a mild heart attack, but returned to work as scheduled in January 2010. Zinn experienced a second yet minor heart attack with small blood clots in her lungs and legs and a second major back spasm on April 15, 2023,^[1] but was able to return to work the following week.

Zinn has had several back injuries dating back to her sophomore year of high school beginning in 1999. In 2009, Zinn suffered an on-the-back injury after lifting a 50 pound bag of bird seed. Four more occurred in March 2017, January 2018, October 2021, November 2022, and April 2023. The latter three injuies required the use of a cane with the latter two being servere.

On August 20, 2020, Zinn escaped major injury after being run off the road while behind the wheel of her bicycle while biking from Waynedale on Decatur Road. The bike went off an embankment, and came to rest against a sidewalk in a ditch. Zinn was not cited for the accident and began attending IvyTech Fort Wayne five days later.

In August 2022, Zinn revealed that during the summer she has had 15 near-heart attacks from June 2022 until April 15, 2023. As of August 2022, Zinn does smoke almost two packs of cigarettes per day, and she could be even seen smoking on some episodes of Vote for the Girls and Caprice & Ella. Though Zinn states she smoked two and a half packs of cigarettes on January 19, 2018 and three packs of cigarettes a day for two days in July 2022.

Zinn announced on November 28, 2014, that she is involved in a relationship with Vote for the Girls USA moderator [[|Kymberly Alvaraz|Kym Christian]] effective January 4, 2015. This confirmed speculation that Kym Christian's infidelity and her 20 year marriage to Dan Alvaraz came to an end^[3]. As a result, Christian (at age 47 and 15 years Zinn's senior) becomes the eldest significant other of Zinn (surpassing Angela Willis) and had four new step children, Christian's daughters Stephani, Haley, Benita, and Denise.
