Personal life
In June 2006, Leone became an American citizen, but plans to remain a
dual citizen of Canada. Although bisexual, she has stated that she
prefers men. In her spare time she enjoys abstract paintings, horse
riding, reading, playing World of Warcraft, watching The Simpsons and
the Discovery Channel. She used to play on a women's soccer league team
in California. Her favorite holiday destination is Hawaii, and her
favorite cuisine is Italian.
In separate interviews, she has stated that in ten years' time she would
like to be married and have started a family, and probably retire from
the industry by the time she is 30. Leone was engaged to Matt Erikson, a
vice-president of marketing at Playboy Enterprises. She currently
resides in Hollywood, California with her cat and drives an Audi A5.
A 2008 Eye Weekly article reported that "Leone does her best to maintain
a link to Sikh traditions, even if more in theory than in practice. But
she's unlikely to disavow her career path due to religion." and that
Leone said "Girls will leave the industry claiming that they found God.
Well, the fact is, God has always been with them the entire time." In a
2010 interview, she said "It’s a community-based religion. You walk into
a temple and you’re greeted with the utmost respect... But, just like
any religion it doesn’t want you to shoot adult material. I mean, I grew
up going to temple every Sunday. When my parents found out they knew my
personality which was very independent. Even if they tried to stop me
or tried to steer me the right way they would have lost their daughter.
I’m too headstrong. And it wasn’t a plan. It just happened and my career
and everything just kept getting bigger and bigger."

She made her entry in the Bigg Boss season 5, India's version of the
show Big Brother where she said she decided to join the Bigg Boss
programme not because of the money on offer but because she was addicted
to the show.
