In an interview in Sports TV Jobs, Reporter Newman was asked, "Did you always know you wanted to be on camera? Why on camera?" She replied that she actually didn't know she would end up on camera. She added, she absolutely wanted to give it a go when the opportunity to report on-camera came up.
"When the opportunity to report on-camera came up, I absolutely wanted to give it a go. I had always loved sports and had grown up with them.

Newman's Personal life
Newman maintains quite a privacy in her personal life; due to her low-key lifestyle, her fans and audience surmise her husband as YES Network's president Mark Newman. However, she has yet to step up and confirm the speculations. As of October 2018, Nancy is reportedly unmarried and is devoted to her sportscasting career. Unlike Nancy's enthusiasm for sports, she has remained a mum when it comes to her personal life.

However, on 28 October 2018, she shared a snapshot unveiling her three adorable nieces.
