Timothy Simons, best known for his role as Jonah Ryan on HBO’s Veep, is nothing like his character in real life. Live a fulfilled existence without resentment. This existence is made possible by his wife Annie Simons and his two children. He started building that life in 2008 and hasn’t looked back since.
Timothy Simons and Annie Simons
Simons and his wife Annie Simons have been married since 2008. They must have met before in Chicago. After graduating from the University of Maine, he moved to Chicago in search of a way to continue his acting career. He worked in theater productions and met Annie somewhere in between. They got married on June 7, 2008 and began their adventure together, both physical and metaphorical.
“I had success with commercials and TV stuff, and I enjoyed the city and my friends there, but I realized that all the major roles were in LA,” he told the Bangor Daily News of his time in Chicago in 2012. “I also was tired of the cold.”
“So, my wife [Annie] and I got married in June 2008 and then we sailed to LA,” he said. They put their belongings in a moving truck and left for Los Angeles. They will be married for 14 years as of June 7, 2022. Simons and his wife aren’t too open about their private lives, but he posts significant events like their anniversaries and their children’s birthdays on Instagram. Annie works as a public school teacher in Los Angeles, where the family currently lives.
Timothy Simons Children
Simons’ personal and professional life started at the same time. In 2010, he got his first film role as a bartender in Days Together. The following year he had his first children. His wife gave birth to their twins, Marty and Hopper Simons, on December 5, 2011. Marty and Hopper spent the first two and a half months in intensive care for non-life threatening medical issues. They grew up watching his work and on his sets when Veep came knocking in 2012. However, as of 2019, the kids haven’t watched the show.
The Candy star struggled to become a father in his early years. In an interview with Stephen Colbert in 2017, he said that he always considered himself a father figure to older children.
“I feel like I’m making progress as a dad,” he told Colbert. “I have always seen myself as a parent of children from five to nine years old.”
He joked that he had no idea what to do with a newborn and had no idea what he was doing for the first year and a half of his children’s lives. But since his children recently turned five, motherhood is still a little easier for him. Earlier in the conversation, he described himself as a “fun nightmare” as a young man. His mother often scolded him, but it was all good fun.
He called his children a “nightmare” and thought they might have inherited that trait from him, but he also raved about his twins as “beautiful, great, fantastic” children. The following year, in August 2018, they started first grade, and by the time they were seven, they were already hooked on Story Pirates, a children’s podcast based on story games submitted by children. Now 10 years old, they are developing quickly and may be stepping out of Simons’ parenting comfort zone. Maybe Simons will adapt too?
