Who is Gavin Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom?
Gavin Newsom’s wife is Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The pair met after they were set up on a blind date at the Artists Ball at Yerba Buena Center in October 2006 by their mutual friend Kathy Wilsey, and hit it off right away.
Stanlee Gatti, a “high-society” party planner and one of Jennifer's closest friends, said of the pair, "I actually think they were made for one another. You know the kind of thing where people finish each other's sentences? They do. Yet they're respectful of each other. They're pretty in sync with the way they feel about some things."
"We had so much in common, we were blown away — from our love for Africa to our interests in political issues to art and the wine business and college sports," Jennifer said.
After dating for nearly two years, Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Siebel Newsom got married in Stevensville, Montana in July of 2008.

Jennifer wrote, produced, and directed Miss Representation, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and received rave reviews for its exploration of the “under-representation of women in positions of power in America.”
“The overall message one takes away is that change can happen in the world if you’re willing to stand up and make yourself heard,” an Indiewire review stated.
“Miss Representation offers us one point of entry into this bubbling stew of an issue, but really any minority group could take up this argument with their own representations on screen, and it’s high time we all took a closer look.”
