In March 2011, Kirshner announced her plans to exit 90210 in order to follow other creative interests. According to a CBS rep, Kirshner leaves on good terms with the studio, who brought in Sinclair as a saving force for the CW drama in its first season.Variety cites Kirshner's exit as a positive step forward for both Kirshner and female executives in Hollywood: "90210's [Kirshner] Sinclair recently announced her intent to bow out of the show after this season to pursue other passions, like penning a novel. But the experience gained in her time at the helm will enhance her career no matter what she chooses to do next.".

She married New Zealand filmmaker and musician Harry Sinclair in December 2008.
