Other than his love/hate relationship with Hot Pockets, comedian Jim Gaffigan is known for his stand-up specials that often revolve around his family life. Jim, who is married to producer and comedy writer Jeannie Gaffigan, shares five children with his wife and frequent collaborator. The longtime couple met in New York City in their 20s and married in 2003, as reported by Parade.

Being parents to a group of five kids is no easy feat, and the Gaffigans haven't been shy about how they have made it work, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a previous interview with The Scott Brothers, Jeannie revealed, "Because Jim and I both come from large families — he's one of six and I'm one of nine — five kids never seemed like a big deal. We always figured out a system to make it work. Then, during quarantine, all the things we had in place to maintain structure vanished instantly. No more sitters, school, camps, helpers, outings, etc. Suddenly we were like, 'Oh, my God! We have FIVE kids!'"

While some in the entertainment industry can find it difficult to balance work with family life, Jim seamlessly blends the two together by bringing them to his comedy shows and even acting with one of his sons on his semi-autobiographical sitcom "The Jim Gaffigan Show," which aired from 2015 to 2016.
