Thirty-two years after their first meeting, Stephen Colbert still marvels at his relationship with his wife, Evie McGee Colbert. Colbert, 62, recalled seeing her for the first time and a voice telling him, "There's your wife." He described their early courtship, which began after meeting in May 1990, with written correspondence preceding their first date on December 26, 1990.
Colbert and Evie McGee were engaged on December 22, 1992, and wed in October 1993. They now share three children: Madeleine, 30; Peter, 28; and John, 24. Evelyn has frequently appeared on The Late Show, with Colbert noting her ability to playfully tease him. He insists they rarely argue, describing their dynamic as free of significant disputes.
As he contemplates his career's next chapter, Colbert emphasizes that Evie's laugh is the sound he most desires. He states, "She's the best laugh," and considers her "great company," an assessment he hopes to reciprocate.
