Gene Simmons was born in Haifa, Israel, in 1949 and is the only child of his mother, a German Nazi Concentration Camp survivor. He has always attributed his ethics, morals, and drive to his mother's notions about life. "Every day above ground is a good day," his mother is apt to say. 

He came to America at eight and a half years of age. He graduated from State University (NYSU) and City University (CUNY) and got a Bachelor of Education degree. He taught sixth grade in Spanish Harlem in New York City. He then became the Assistant to the Director of the Puerto Rican InterAgency Council, a government-funded research and demonstration project. 

He worked at Glamour and then at Vogue as the assistant to the editor, Kate Lloyd. Gene speaks a few languages: English, Hungarian, Hebrew, and German, and he is getting better at Japanese every day. Gene Simmons has never been married. He has had live-in relationships with Cher and Diana Ross. 

He has been happily unmarried for 25 years to Shannon Tweed, the mother of his two beautiful children.**Simmons, and Tweed finally wed on October 1, 2011.
