She attended Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. She attended Loyola Marymount University at the same time as Colin Hanks and Linda Cardellini (her Freaks and Geeks and ER co-star).

Philipps is married to Marc Silverstein, and they are currently expecting their first child. Philipps is godmother to Dawson's co-star Michelle Williams' and the late Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda Rose, born in 2005.^[4]
