Gene Simmons Was Made for Loving His Wife Shannon Tweed — Meet the Rocker’s Spouse
He’s done a lot of great things in his long career, but Gene Simmons hasn’t done it alone, as his wife, Shannon Tweed, has, been by his side through it all!

“In the interest of full disclosure, I have been married for more than five or six years. For 29 years … I was a jacka–,” Gene revealed to Us Weekly back in May, 2019. “And it’s a family show and I don’t wanna say anything that moved. I don’t wanna say that. And the astonishing thing about women is … I don’t know why, but you forgive our trespasses over and over, every single day. Guys wouldn’t do that.”
“I believe that women see the big picture. For one thing, you give life. We just work here. We can’t do anything. We can’t ask for directions, we can’t do that,” he continued. “We don’t understand the emotional component. We’re just not designed that way.”
