A Look At Gene Simmons' Relationship With Shannon Tweed

The pair was together for the next 28 years, surviving multiple KISS reunion tours and a reality show, A&E's "Gene Simmons' Family Jewels." In an interview on "The Joy Behar Show" promoting the series, Behar joked with Simmons about his notorious womanizing. Questioning him about the 5,000 women he claims to have been with (via Daily News), Behar jokingly asked the KISS vocalist how has his back was holding up after being with so many women. Simmons responded with what he thought was a joke. Tweed, though, had enough, stating to him before storming off set: "That's very nice for you to joke about it," Tweed said sarcastically. "F*** off."

The debacle was the final straw for Tweed, who had been struggling for some time with Simmons' legendary infidelity. In an interview with People Magazine in July 2011, Tweed informed the world that she had moved out of the family home (via Orange County Register).

After a few months apart, Simmons reconsidered his long-standing stance on marriage and proposed to Tweed on a pre-recorded episode of "Gene Simmons' Family Jewels." While most things are scripted on reality shows, Tweed forgave the fire-breathing bass player and married him on October 1, 2011, at the Beverly Hills Hotel in California (via Billboard). In 2021, the couple celebrated their 10th anniversary with a post on Tweed's Instagram.  Now, who says true love doesn't exist?
