She is the daughter of former Scotland and British Lions rugby player, John Beattie, and is the sister of former Scottish rugby union international Johnnie Beattie.

In October 2020, Jen was diagnosed with breast cancer and had surgery to remove the lump, before it had the chance to spread. She also opted to undertake radiotherapy instead of the more aggressive chemotherapy, and despite the treatment, she continued to play for Arsenal and Scotland.

She went on to win the Helen Rollason Award for 2021, in recognition of her work since the cancer diagnosis. This year, she was appointed as a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to association football and charity.
