Dee Snider’s wife is Suzette Snider. Dee has talked about her in several interviews, describing her as an influence on his stage appearance, as the person who began making costumes for Twisted Sister, and as a partner he has been with for decades. The sections below separate what Dee has said about his marriage from what the interviews confirm, and explain why the number of years they have been married cannot be stated as a current figure.
Who Suzette Snider is
Suzette Snider is the wife of Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider. The interviews reviewed for this article do not describe a career or public role for her beyond her connection to the band and to Dee’s image. Most of what is publicly known about her comes from Dee’s own accounts, so the details below are presented as his recollections.
How she shaped his stage look
In an interview on Dee Snider’s official website about the documentary We Are Twisted F***ing Sister!, Dee says Suzette had a direct hand in how he presented himself on stage. He recalls her suggestions about makeup and hair, and he says she began making costumes for the band. In his words: “My wife Suzette, she’s been there and very influential.”
Dee does not describe the costume work in detail, such as which pieces she made or when the band first wore them, so those specifics are not established by the interview.

How they met, in Dee’s recollection
In a TV Insider interview tied to the Biography: Rock Legends episode about the band, Dee describes how he and Suzette met. He recalls that she was 15 and attended a Twisted Sister show. Because this is his memory of events from decades earlier, it is best read as his account rather than a verified timeline.
Marriage, counseling and what Dee has said about it
Dee has spoken openly about the couple’s relationship difficulties. In the official-website interview about his marriage, he discusses relationship counseling and says that his success, together with his own behavior, nearly damaged the marriage. In the TV Insider interview he describes the couple’s decision to work through their problems, and he also talks about his ego during that period.
These are Dee’s personal reflections on his own marriage. They describe what happened in one couple’s life and are not general advice about marriage or counseling.
How long they have been married
Dee has given two different duration figures in two separate interviews. The table below shows both, along with what the material says about when each was given.
Rank #3
| Source | What Dee says | Time context |
|---|---|---|
| Dee Snider’s official website, interview on his marriage | “Suzette and I have been married 36 years, I’ve been with her 40, living together 39.” | The interview date does not appear in the text reviewed, so the figures describe the time of that interview only. |
| TV Insider, interview tied to Biography: Rock Legends | “Suzette, my wife of 48 years, helped get me there.” | The interview date is not stated in the material reviewed, so the figure describes the time of that interview only. |
| Dee Snider’s official website, interview on We Are Twisted F***ing Sister! | No duration given. | Not stated. |
The two figures differ, and without interview dates a reader cannot tell whether they describe different points in time or conflict with each other. Neither should be treated as the current length of the marriage, and the figures should not be added together or updated by calculation. For a current answer, the most reliable option is a recent interview in which Dee states the number himself.

Dee’s interviews do not give the exact wedding day. Some secondary biographical references place the wedding in October 1981, but they disagree on the day, and the primary interviews do not confirm it. Until a stronger source is available, the wedding date should be treated as unconfirmed.
