Jerry Seinfeld, now 70, has indeed faced criticism for his views on comedy and his personal relationships, particularly his relationship with Shoshanna Lonstein, which began when she was 17 and he was 38.
Seinfeld’s commentary on the state of comedy, often lamenting what he sees as the decline of humor due to political correctness and left-leaning ideals, has sparked debate and pushback. While some may argue that comedy has evolved beyond Seinfeld’s style, others maintain that his contributions to the genre are significant and timeless.
Regarding his relationship with Lonstein, it’s widely known that they dated for around four years, from 1993 to 1997. The age gap between them, with Seinfeld being 21 years older, raised eyebrows even at the time. Their relationship ended amidst media scrutiny and Lonstein’s desire to return to her hometown and family.
Lonstein later married Josh Gruss, who is closer to her age, and they have three children together. Seinfeld’s relationship with Lonstein remains a part of his personal history, albeit one that is viewed with varying degrees of discomfort by different observers.
