Who is Kevin Smith's Wife Jennifer Schwalbach Smith? Details of His Married Life

Find out all the details on the married life of American filmmaker, actor, comedian, public speaker, comic book writer, author, and podcaster Kevin Smith with his wife, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith.

Kevin Smith has one of the funniest stories to tell about how he met his wife, Jennifer Schwalbach, for the first time. The producer of 'Clerks' and 'Mallrats' had a rather unusual first impression of his wife during the initial encounter: he mistook her for a hooker for a moment.

Jennifer, if you didn't know, used to work as a reporter for USA Today. She later went on to have a career as an actress too, but that was after she met Kevin. And Jennifer & Kevin's first encounter seems like the two were predestined to be together.

Jennifer Schwalbach First Met Kevin Smith When She Was Assigned to Interview Him

Kevin Smith and Jennifer Schwalbach met for the first time in 1998. Jennifer, a reporter for USA Today at the time, was assigned to interview Kevin Smith. Kevin, on the other hand, was in Los Angeles celebrating the release of the 'Clerks' comic book.

Actor Chris Rock was also in L.A. at the time for his shooting of 'Lethal Weapon.' So Kevin and Chris made some time to meet at the Bel Age Hotel and rehearse his 'Rufus' role in Smith's upcoming movie 'Dogma.' An article mentions what happened next was the reason that led him to mistake Jennifer as a sex worker. 

Kevin, who holds a net worth of $25 million, writes, "So [Chris] Rock and I rehearse and as he's leaving, I tell him I'm doing an interview with USA Today next and that I feel weird that it's in my hotel room. Rock jokes, 'Better here than the bar downstairs. It's filled with hookers!' Ten minutes after Rock left, there was a knock on my door. When I answered it, a stunning young woman roughly my age was standing there. And because up to that point, anyone I'd ever been interviewed by USA Today has been in their late 40's, the first thought that ran through my head when I saw the face of my future wife was 'Oh no! Chris Rock sent a hotel bar hooker to my room!' "
