It was while working in publishing that Myers met her soon-to-be American husband. Myers oversaw the publication of an autobiography by English bullfighter Henry Higgins; she met Higgins, his co-author, and the co-author's cousin, James Myers, born in Buffalo, New York. Although American-born, James Myers, has spent his adult life living in Europe.
