Stephen Colbert and Evelyn “Evie” McGee-Colbert got married in October 1993 and lived together in Montclair, New Jersey. The couple have been married for twenty nine years now and has been blessed with three wonderful children.
Colbert’s wife, Evelyn, was born to a very prominent family in Charleston, South Carolina. She graduated from the University of Virginia and later from Circle in the Square Theater School in New York. She is an actress, producer and the Vice President of her husband’s company, Spartina Productions.
The two had known each other from childhood but the real romance started when they met at a movie Stephen’s mother had invited him to after a pretty rough break up. Theirs was a love at first sight sort of situation.
They both shared at interviews that they had hit off almost immediately, spoke for two hours at the show’s after party and soon after they started dating.
Nearly three decades in and the Colbert couple are still in their honeymoon phase. They both are still very much in love and very grateful for their family.
