The couple's enduring partnership is a rare success story in the entertainment world, built on a foundation that began with a whirlwind romance and continues today with a shared life dedicated to family, art, and philanthropy.

Daena E. Title: More Than Just 'Jason Alexander's Wife'
Daena E. Title is an accomplished professional in her own right, an American expressionist painter, actress, and philanthropist whose career has focused on exploring complex societal themes.
The Artist and Scholar
Title’s background is rooted in the arts and academia. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History and Theatre Studies from Wellesley College in 1979.
Her work as an expressionist painter is critically acclaimed, with her pieces often serving as powerful commentaries on Western society's obsession with the female image. Her paintings explore the contradictory messaging and societal standards placed upon women, reflecting a deep engagement with themes of self-esteem and the love/hate relationship between women and cultural norms.
Title's artwork has been featured in various galleries, museums, and art fairs since 1997, and she currently resides and works in Los Angeles.
A Brief Acting Career
While her primary focus is painting, Daena E. Title has a few acting credits. Her most notable film appearance was in the 1995 movie For Better or Worse.
In a fun nod to her husband's iconic role, she also appeared in the series finale of Seinfeld as an unnamed juror.
Daena is also the cousin of the late director Stacy Title, further cementing her ties to the creative world.
The Unconventional Secret to 40+ Years of Marital Bliss
In a world where celebrity marriages often end quickly, the longevity of Jason Alexander and Daena E. Title’s relationship is a source of fascination. In recent interviews, Alexander has been open about the surprising, and somewhat unconventional, secret to their success.
The Whirlwind Beginning
The couple's relationship started at a breakneck speed. Alexander revealed that they began living together just three weeks after they started dating, and by the six-week mark, they were already engaged. They tied the knot in May 1982, embarking on a partnership that has lasted for more than four decades.
The "Secret" to Longevity
The core of their enduring bond, as Alexander has shared, lies in a fundamental difference in their personalities and approach to life.
- The "Opposites Attract" Principle: Alexander describes himself as a "people pleaser" who often takes on too much, while Daena is the "truth-teller" and the "rock" in their relationship.
- Mutual Correction: He credits Title with being able to call him out and keep him grounded. She provides the necessary perspective and honesty that prevents him from getting lost in the chaos of his career.
- Separate and Shared Lives: While they are deeply committed, they maintain separate professional identities. Daena's life as a fine artist and Jason's life as an actor and comedian allow them to have their own space and respect for each other’s distinct careers.
This dynamic—where one partner is the anchor and the other is the high-energy public figure—has proven to be the perfect balance for navigating the pressures of Hollywood life.
Building a Family: Sons Gabriel and Noah
Nearly a decade into their marriage, Alexander and Title faced challenges starting a family, ultimately turning to in vitro fertilization (IVF).
They are the proud parents of two sons, Gabriel (Gabe), born in 1992, and Noah, born later. Both children were raised away from the intense spotlight of Hollywood, a deliberate choice by the couple to ensure a sense of normalcy and privacy.
Jason Alexander frequently speaks about his family life with immense pride, emphasizing that his roles as a husband to Daena and a father to Gabe and Noah are the most important he has ever played. The stability provided by his home life with Daena E. Title has been a constant source of strength throughout his celebrated career, from his early days on Broadway to his enduring fame as George Costanza.
