Her father is a businessman, politician and was a local talk radio show host. Seibel is the oldest of three siblings, Lauren Murphy-Holder a psychologist and Robert Murphy Jr. a business owner. Her sister's undergraduate degree is from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, her brother graduated from Baldwin Wallace College. Tara's grandfather Richard Gieseler, was a foreman for Cleveland Twist Drill, and met his wife Dorothea (née Newman) at the Cleveland Twist Drill Company. Her grandfather (John "Buck" Buchan) was a local musician who played with "Cleveland's Polka King" Frankie Yankovic and comedian-musician Mickey Katz.
