Former Mötley Crüe guitarist Mick Mars has been married to his wife Seraina Mars (née Schönenberger) for almost a decade, but the couple has been in a relationship for even longer.
The model met Mick for the first time in 2007 at a Mötley Crüe concert. According to Seraina, who spoke with Blick magazine about her relationship, the couple experienced what she described as “love at first sight.” “I’m completely in love,” she told the paper in 2008, adding, “[He is] the man of my life. We are the perfect couple.”
The couple dated for six years before tying the knot on December 13, 2013. Although they mostly kept their relationship under wraps, making only a handful of public appearances together over the years, Seraina occasionally let fans know about their love through her social media accounts.
In December 2020, she honored her husband with a sweet anniversary post on Instagram, writing, “I know this has been a tough year for all of us, but having your soul mate by your side makes you feel like you can conquer anything together.”

In 2016, Seraina published a photo collage on Twitter myself, mom, dad and sister getting the same tattoos. In the center of the collage was a photo of Mick’s hand covering the group’s hands, showing his own tattoo. “Mars family!!” Seraina captioned the post.
She plays the guitar
Mick isn’t the only musician in the Mars household: Seraina revealed in tweet from 2013 that she also plays the guitar. When a fan asked her if she took lessons or was self-taught, she replied, “I never had a real teacher until I learned to play the guitar.”
Her famous husband helps her keep her instrument in tip-top shape, as Seraina shared in a Facebook post in 2018. “This guy is very handsome when you break a string,” she captioned a video of her fixing it.
Mick even grabbed his wife’s guitar by mistake on the way to a video shoot. “Back to when Marsman accidentally grabbed the wrong guitar case and my Strat turned it into a music video,” she said chirped in July 2022.
She cooks meals from scratch for her and Mick
While showing off the artistic knife set she and Mick bought her sister Lina Layne for her birthday in May 2021 on Instagram, Seraina revealed that she does most of the cooking for the Mars household. “My sister @lina_layne cooks most of her meals from scratch, just like I do for us,” she wrote.
The proud chef previously gave fans a glimpse of one of her homemade creations – pizza. “Marsman has nothing against this little weekend baking tradition,” she said.

Before Mick’s decision to retire from touring with Mötley Crüe in September 2022, he wore his wife’s creations on stage. After a fan asked on Instagram if Seraina would customize his outfit for the stage, she replied: “Sometimes I do – I like the patches I make, add the rivets or adjust the guitar strap or something.”
According to Seraina, there is one element that Mars does not like though – chains. “He doesn’t want the possibility of getting tangled up while playing,” she explained.
