Full biography of Adam Schiff’s wife, Eve Schiff

Not so often do politicians grace the front pages of entertainment tabloids or blogs—that space is rightfully reserved for Hollywood A-listers and sports hotshots. But if you have been an almost permanent fixture of the U.S House of Reps—like Adam Schiff has—whose constituents include the glamorous Hollywood, Hollywood Hills, Pasadena, Silver Lake, Echo Park and the likes, then a space might be saved for you on that glossy front cover. 

Adam Schiff saw a spike in his popularity within the Hollywood community due to his effort to raise relief funds for entertainment workers who have lost their jobs during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Adam and Eve Schiff have been married for well over twenty years. Their marriage possesses a level of devotion that is becoming increasingly rare in this modern age. 

Adam Schiff became a member of the U.S House of Representative in 2001 after his successful campaign resulted in a narrow victory over Republican candidate; Jim Rogan, in a district widely regarded as a Republican fort.

The spotlight fell on Schiff earlier in December 2019. Adam Schiff was instrumental to the Donald Trump impeachment inquiry as he was one of the leading investigators. 

Who is Eve Schiff?

If her husband’s social media posts are anything to go by, Eve and Adam Schiff are happily married. The woman we know today as Eve Schiff was born Eve Sanderson on the 12th of December, 1962 to Caucasian parents in Burbank, California. As a young girl, Eve developed an interest in lawn tennis.

Of her birth parents, only her mother’s name—Marion Sanderson—comes up frequently in the records. One can say Eve has pretty much kept a low profile—well as low key as being a congressman’s spouse affords you—which is understandable given the level of scrutiny and sometimes foul play involved in the brutal, cut-throat world of politics.

The couple met at a tennis match (no pun intended) that was organised by a mutual friend way back in the 90s. They hit it off instantly, and dare I say at the expense of some creation jokes that heavily featured Adam and Eve. After dating for about five years, the pair tied the knot in February 1995. Adam and Eve Schiff have been married for 25 years now.
