Posted by Jenniffer Sheldon on Wednesday, July 10, 2024

Jason Alexander has been married to his wife, Daena Title, since 1982.

From day one, the actor knew Title was someone special. During a 2015 appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Alexander shared the story of his first date with his eventual wife.

“I knew I was playing way above the rim with this girl, so — I think I had a thousand dollars to my name — I went to the bank and took out a thousand dollars in cash,” he said. “I went ‘I don’t know what she’s gonna want to do, but I’m gonna do it!’ "

They quickly fell for each other and married in the early 1980s. After tying the knot, Alexander and Title had two sons, Gabe, born in 1992, and Noah, who arrived in 1996. The pair also became grandparents in 2022 when Gabe had a son.

Through growing their family, they’ve continued to support each other’s careers. Alexander is best known for playing George Costanza on Seinfeld, with Title even appearing in the finale episode of the show in 1998. Away from the TV cameras, she is a visual artist who has had her work displayed around the country.

So who is Jason Alexander’s wife? Here’s everything to know about Daena Title and her relationship with the actor.

Title’s website says she is a “feminist, expressionist painter” who is “best known for her colorful, figurative work that mirrors her obsession with modern female icons.”

Her work has been shown at galleries across the U.S., including in New York City, Los Angeles and Wisconsin.

Alexander and Title didn't have a regular first outing.

“She was the cheapest date in the world," he told James Corden about their dinner in 2015. "We went to a restaurant that no longer exists in New York called Cafe Central ... our waiter for the evening was Bruce Willis and our bartender was John Goodman.”

Even though Alexander didn't spend his whole bank account on their memorable first date, Title was won over. Shortly after, they moved in together.

“Within three weeks, we were living together,” Alexander added.

During his appearance on Corden’s show, Alexander explained that his relationship with Title developed quickly.

“Within six weeks, I started proposing,” he said. “She turned me down three times, and then I had that,” he said while pointing to an image of a billboard in Times Square illuminated with the text, “Daena, I love you, please marry me, forever - Jason.”

This time, Title said yes.

The couple tied the knot on May 31, 1982. According to an interview Alexander did for the 2005 book Stars of David: Prominent Jews Talk About Being Jewish, they exchanged traditional wedding vows but with a modern update.

"There’s a ritual where the husband basically says, 'With this ring I consecrate you unto me,' " he explained. "So Daena asks the rabbi, ‘And then what do I say?' And the rabbi said, 'Well, you don’t say anything, once the man says that, it’s done.' "

Alexander continued, "Daena went, 'Hold the phone, he’ll be consecrating himself unto me as well.' The rabbi said, ‘Well, he can say it, but it doesn’t mean anything,' ” and Daena said, ‘It will mean something to me.' "
