Jerry Seinfeld, the American stand-up comedian known for essentially creating the hit sitcom Seinfeld had an interesting love life, to say the least. Talking about how he originally wooed and flirted with his then-to-be wife Jessica Seinfeld, the comedian apparently took her away from her then-would-be husband right after their marriage.
Talking about how he broke up his engagement right before marriage, Jerry Seinfeld talked about his then-fiance Shoshanna Lonstein and how he ended up walking out on her. The romantic story is truly messed up and yet romantic to read.
How Jerry Seinfeld Wooed His Would-Be Wife Jessica Sklar
Back in 1999, Jessica Sklar was married to her then-husband Eric Nederlander. The duo got married in 1998 and divorced in 1999. Shortly after their divorce, Jerry Seinfeld swooped in from above and started dating Jessica Sklar and eventually marrying her.
Although the road to a marriage was a long and tedious one, Jessica Seinfeld revealed that her problems with ex-husband Eric Nederlander started 5 years before their marriage even took place! Stating how he wooed Jessica Sklar, Jerry Seinfeld attempted to make her laugh and he eventually succeeded.
“He attempted to make me laugh, and I was really not interested in being entertained at that moment. I told him the story and he looked at me with such compassion and said, ‘Give me a hug.’”
And that is how the story of them started. Following a highly negative reaction from the public and the media, Jessica Sklar had to deny the allegations of their relationship and she felt overwhelmed and intensely under pressure.
“I denied the truth, naïvely trying to protect everyone involved, including Eric, from the pain of the break-up and from the embarrassment of public humiliation.”
The duo of Jessica Sklar and Jerry Seinfeld later married in 1999 and have been happily married ever since. Although it was destiny, the actor was involved with a 17-year-old girl before breaking up with her to be with his future wife back in 1999.
When Jerry Seinfeld Was Dating A 17-Year-Old Girl
Before his eventual meeting with Jessica Sklar, Seinfeld was romantically involved with a 17-year-old girl called Shoshanna Lonstein. Back then, the actor was already 39 years old and the age difference was enough to grab the media attention that made their lives miserable.
After meeting Jessica Sklar in 1998, the stand-up comedian allegedly left Shoshanna Lonstein to be with Sklar. The two have been married since 1999 and still partake in the Hollywood film industry. Jerry Seinfeld has been known worldwide for the hit American sitcom Seinfeld which he essentially starred in and created along with Larry David.
The series started in 1989 and ran for a decade before its final episode premiered in 1998. With a strong rating of 8.9/10 on IMDB and 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, Seinfeld is available to stream on Netflix.
