Personal life
Heath is a devout Christian. Aside from soccer, Heath has said she enjoys playing a multitude of sports, such as tennis and surfing, and enjoys being outside when given the time and opportunity. Tobin's first name is her great-grandmother's surname.
Company
In 2019, Tobin, along with current and former USWNT teammates, Christen Press, Meghan Klingenberg, and Megan Rapinoe launched the luxury lifestyle brand Rə-Inc. While they all work collaboratively, they each occupy unique positions within the company. Tobin serves as the creative force behind the brand. Rə-Inc was created “to boldly reimagine the status quo — championing equity, creativity, progress and art.” On top of three successful clothing capsule drops, Tobin has created and auctioned off original art pieces. With each art auction, a portion of the proceeds has been donated to grassroots organizations.

Heath is featured along with her national teammates in the EA Sports' FIFA video game series in FIFA 16, the first time women players were included in the game. In September 2015, she was ranked by EA Sports as the No. 15 women's player in the game.
Ticker tape parade and White House honor
Following the United States' win at the ‘15 FIFA Women's World Cup, Heath and her teammates became the first women's sports team to be honored with a Ticker tape parade in New York City. Each player received a key to the city from Mayor Bill de Blasio. In October of the same year, the team was honored by President Barack Obama at the White House.
