Is she married in real life?
Outside the world of the Nissan Rogue commercial, actress Amanda Booth recently celebrated her eighth wedding anniversary.
Addressing her husband Mike Quinones, with whom she shares a son called Micah, she wrote: “The amount of words allowed in one post could never do justice for all that we have made it through”.
In 2016, Cosmopolitan published a piece written by Booth about the process of giving birth to a baby with Down’s syndrome. In the piece, Booth describes and reflects on the adaptations she and her husband have had to make as a result.

How Amanda Booth uses Instagram to tell her story
Booth uses Instagram to reach out to others raising young children with special needs, and to tell her story.
One post states: “There’s a lot of antiquated information about Down’s Syndrome out there, and people need to know the truth… I’m trying to do is make people aware, give them a hand to walk with, a shoulder to borrow, and clear eyes to see the possibilities of this life.”
Since she started publishing parts of her family’s story on social media, the trio have featured together in several campaigns. For example, they have advertised such brands as River Island, Tommy Hilfiger and Amazon Fashion.
