Tied The Knot Two Times

Yes, you have heard right. The late director Simon was married two times with his two beautiful wives throughout his entire life. 

His first marriage was with a British psychosexual and relationship therapist, Simone Bienne, 46. She is best known for her co-hosting the Loveline from 2011 until 2012. The ex-spouses were married in Las Vegas on November 10, 2001, after dating a few times.

But after a year, the two announced their separation in 2002. They ended their relationship in 2006. However, there is no information regarding their partying ways. That same year, Monjack met his second wife Murphy. 

One year later, the couple exchanged wedding vows in April 2007 in a Jewish ceremony. The function took place at their Los Angeles home. They lived together in the same house for the last three-and-a-half years with Murphy's mom, Sharon Murphy. 

Likewise, they were together until their death time. Further, he had one daughter Jasmine Monjack from his previous relationship.

In addition to his married life, Monjack was prosecuted by Coutts Bank for nearly $500,000 in 2006. Thus, he was arrested and spent nine days in prison in February 2007.
