McGrath is related to Canadian actor Munro Chambers, as is her husband Mochrie by marriage. In a 2010 interview, Chambers stated:

<blockquote>"I could say many things... my uncle, for one thing, is Colin Mochrie. He's been my inspiration getting into the industry. He's my uncle-in-law; his wife is my dad's cousin. My dad and his cousin, they were kind of like brother and sister growing up, so he’s my uncle by law. We have a good relationship."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thestarscoop.com/interviews/munro-chambers-interview-eli-eclare-and-more/|title=Munro Chambers Interview: Eli, "Eclare" & more|date=November 17, 2010|publisher=The Star Scoop|accessdate=January 17, 2022|archive-date=January 17, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220117192036/https://www.thestarscoop.com/interviews/munro-chambers-interview-eli-eclare-and-more/|url-status=usurped}}</ref></blockquote>
