If there is one person that has played an intricate part in Colbert’s all-round life success, it is his wife of 25 years – Evelyn.

They had grown up in the same area in South Carolina but never met each other until 1990 at the “Spoleto Festival”.

She is often described as the stay-at-home mom and this sacrifice is what has produced a thriving Colbert family as she holds it all together when her husband is away working and even when he’s home. More than just being a stay-at-home mom, Evie (as her husband calls her) graduated in 1985 with a double major in English and Drama from the University of Virginia’s college and has had a few feature movie roles.

Just one look at both lovers together and you’ll agree that they are indeed couple goals. The beautiful Mrs Colbert even stated at the 2017 Met Gala that her ‘sexy’ husband taught her the importance of being silly.
