Who Is Tom Bergeron's Wife? All About Lois Bergeron

Former Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron has spoken about his wife Lois Bergeron over the years

Tom Bergeron brought lots of laughs as the host of America’s Funniest Home Videos, and in his own home, he was telling dad jokes to his family, including wife Lois Bergeron.

Tom and Lois got married in 1982 and have mostly kept their longtime relationship out of the spotlight, save for a rare appearance on Tom’s Instagram or an offhand mention of her in an interview.

Together, the pair share two daughters, Jessica and Samantha, and they love to spend time with their extended families. The Masked Singer contestant has also credited Lois for his passion for transcendental meditation.

“Lois and I know we’re better together than solo,” Tom said of his wife in a 2018 interview with Closer Weekly.

So who is Tom Bergeron’s wife? Here is everything to know about Lois Bergeron and her relationship with the former Dancing with the Stars co-host.

They’ve been married for over 40 years

Tom and Lois wed on May 22, 1982.

On their 41st anniversary in 2023, Tom shared a sweet throwback photo on Instagram from their wedding and a message about how they celebrated the milestone.

“We spent our 41st anniversary yesterday at the @santaynez Hospital (great staff, btw) with yours truly being treated for food poisoning & a bruised rib (it’s a long story 🤦🏻😏),” he wrote.

“Home & resting now & reminded again of how lucky I am that, 41 years ago, she said, ‘I do,' ” Tom added.

They share two daughters

Tom and Lois are parents to two daughters: Jessica and Samantha.

While both of their daughters are quite private on social media, Tom is happy to post baby photos of them when he goes down memory lane.

For Samantha’s birthday in 2023, he shared an old picture on Instagram of her making a squint-eyed face, joking, “This beauty turns 32 today (and she still gives me this look after a dud dad joke 🤣)."

The Star Trek: Enterprise actor also posted a snap from his time hosting the talk show People Are Talking, holding a then 5-month-old Jessica, who was "making her Boston TV debut." Tom pointed out that Lois was "beaming" with joy while sitting in the live audience, watching them during the heartfelt moment.

“I feel very grateful to be their dad, and they make me proud pretty regularly,” Tom told Closer Weekly.

Tom is good at keeping secrets from her

When Tom appeared on The Masked Singer as the Taco in season 3, he had to keep it a secret from his family — but it wasn’t the first time he kept something from Lois.

In an interview on Mario Lopez’s podcast, On With Mario Lopez, in December 2020, Tom revealed that when Lois was expecting their first daughter, he didn't tell her the sex for nearly all of the pregnancy.

“The doctor pulled me aside, told me you’re having a girl. Lois, at that point, wanted to be surprised, so for six months, I kept the secret,” he said.

“There was one time I almost accidentally put a female pronoun out there,” he added before telling a story about how he “deviously” tricked Lois into thinking they were having a boy afterward.

“I was hosting a daily live talk show in Boston at the time ... one of the shows was ‘circumcision: pro or con?’ and I brought home the material,” Tom recalled, laughing.

She got him into transcendental meditation

Tom has credited his wife for helping him get into transcendental meditation, which he’s been practicing for 40 years. The technique involves sitting down with closed eyes for 20 minutes twice a day and repeating a word or phrase to focus on, per Cleveland Clinic. Other celebrities, like Gisele Bündchen, have spoken about practicing it, too.

In an interview on Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal podcast in July 2017, Tom opened up about having anger management problems, admitting that he decided to try meditation when Lois told him he needed to get help.

“There were a few apartment walls in my single days that had holes in the sheet rock that I had punched through,” he said, speaking about how his anger manifested physically. “The temper thing was always directed at inanimate objects or myself."

The father of two revealed that his wife's advice came early on in their romance. “There was one time we were out and then something happened and I just put my fist into the door of the car ... And she wisely said, ‘If we’re going to have a relationship, that has to stop,’ ” he recalled.

Tom said he signed up for a transcendental meditation course the next day. “It does make you happier. It does make you better able to assess things as they’re happening so as to not fly off the handle,” he explained. “It’s the belief that I can be the master of how I react to any situation.”

When he appeared on The Masked Singer, he also mentioned Lois' influence on him as a clue. "She made me the man I am today, a softer taco filled with love and blessed with a rich career. I can't even believe it's real," Tom said, referencing his taco costume.

They love to binge watch shows together

Speaking with Bob Saget in September 2021 on his podcast, Here For You, Tom shared one of his and Lois’ favorite ways to unwind: watching TV shows together.

“Lois and I started binging ... almost exclusively on Canadian television,” Tom told Saget, recommending the shows Kim’s Convenience, Corner Gas and Murdoch Mysteries.

“The lovely thing about having edibles at night, we watched all 14 seasons [of Murdoch Mysteries] and then we went back and started season 1 again ... we didn’t remember who the killer was, it was like watching them new, all over again,” he added, making Saget laugh.

She supports him through tough times

When Tom’s father died in October 2015, it was Lois who called him to break the bad news while he was on the set of Dancing with the Stars.

“I got a call in the dressing room from my wife,” he told Closer Weekly.

Despite the tragedy, Tom insisted they didn’t cancel the dress rehearsal or show for that evening, even though he said one of the producers suggested it.

“I said no, I need it. In the end, they dedicated the show to my dad, and that’s a real example of how you are lifted by the energy of your friends,” Tom shared.
