Biography

On the March 30, 2006, episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Brewster revealed that she had recently received a handwritten note indicating Hugh Hefner would like her to pose for Playboy. She seriously considered the offer, but even though she said that she admired Playboy more than magazines such as Maxim and FHM and her parents gave her their blessing, she eventually turned it down for career reasons. She has volunteered as an actress with the Los Angeles Young Storytellers Program.

On March 17, 2013, Brewster became engaged to Steve Damstra. She made the announcement via Twitter by posting a photograph of the jade engagement ring on her finger. Damstra is in the band Folded Light and Whirlwind Heat and is a friend of Brewster's Criminal Minds co-star Matthew Gray Gubler. Brewster and Damstra were married on November 28, 2014 in Los Angeles, California, in a ceremony officiated by Gubler.
