- Jerry and Jessica first met at a Reebok Sports Club and began dating afterwards.
- The couple got engaged in November 1999.
- They were married on 25th December 1999.
- Comedian George Wallace was the best man at their wedding.
- There was wide media criticism about Skylar’s divorce to Eric Nederlander just four months after marrying him and her subsequent relationship with Seinfeld, so she told Vogue: ‘I met Jerry at the end of what was the most difficult period of my life. I had just made a painful decision to dissolve a five-year relationship that began when I was 21 and culminated in a brief marriage. Jerry was neither the cause nor the effect of the breakup, but his friendship gave me strength and resilience at a time of desperate need, and it has formed the basis for my happiness in the years that have followed.’ (Wkipedia)
- Seinfeld has also been vocal about the strength his marriage has given him; "If it wasn’t for Jess and the kids, I’d really blow my brains out. Jessica saved my life. She gave me something to care about." (Wikipedia)
- After they wed, they bought Billy Joel’s house in Long Island, which reportedly cost them $32 million.
- The pair now have three children; Sascha (2000), Julian Kal (2003) and Shepherd Kellen (2005).
