I agree with everyone, as well. On the one hand, we want to know more about our T's life outside therapy, because it reassures us that they are real people. On the other hand, knowing something about their life, however simple it may be, can shatter the ideal image we have of them.
I definitely think you should tell your T about it. If nothing else, it might make for a few interesting anecdotes. Just for your own piece of mind, though, you might want to reiterate to her that you do not expect her to deviate from therapist-client confidentiality.
Let us know how it goes!
