Patty Jenkins Religion

Patty hasn't revealed what her religion of faith is in any of her personal quotes. She does not have any official outlets on the Internet, which doesn't help either. Her ancestry is also not well known nor that of her parents. If we were to take a guess, it'd be that she is a Christian but we cannot shoot any guesses about whether she practises it or not. 

Patty Jenkins Political Views

She hasn't affiliated with any party as such and hasn't made any political statements so far. She has, though, been part of activist work which could help us in determining what her views really are. She attended the event of Wonder Woman being made Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls by the United Nations on its 75th anniversary. It was done to promote sex equality and empowerment of women and girls. 

Who is she dating?

We do not have any idea about what her dating life has been like because there's very little information about her. She married author Sam Sheridan in 2007 and have been married since. They have a son together. Sam is famous for writing books A Fighter's Heart, The Fighter's Mind and The Disaster Diaries. All of his books have got quite good reviews. 

Patty Jenkins Hobbies

She studied painting and did her undergraduate from The Cooper Union in NYC. She also likes photography and listening to music which she says is her real love. She says that music is what compelled her to become a filmmaker. So far we can say that she probably likes to do photography, painting and listening to music in her free time.
