Reports have surfaced that 7th Heaven actor Stephen Collins is married to a woman 40 years younger than him, named Jenny Nagel. This revelation came to light during Investigation Discovery’s Hollywood Demons special.
The episode, which aired on Monday, revisited Collins’ past admission of sexually abusing multiple underage girls. Dr. Drew Pinsky, who appeared in the documentary, claimed that Collins now lives with Nagel, whom he described as a “superfan.” Acknowledging their significant age gap, Pinsky commented, “Let’s hope he can commit to this woman and not perpetrate on others.”
Collins, now 77, did not participate in the documentary. Shockingly, the show’s producers reached out to over 100 people connected to him, but nearly all refused to take part. The only individuals who spoke about him were men.
According to The Daily Mail, Collins and Nagel married in 2019. Nagel, 37, had previously shared her admiration for 7th Heaven on Facebook in 2010, showing strong support for the show.
Collins, best known for playing Reverend Eric Camden on 7th Heaven from 1996 to 2007, faced major backlash in 2014 when TMZ released an audio recording from his marriage counseling session. In the recording, he admitted to sexually abusing three underage girls. At the time, he was married to actress Faye Grant.
Collins was also investigated by the LAPD in 2012 over sexual abuse allegations dating back 18 years.
