Gina Maddy Kimmel

Gina Maddy was born on December 13, 1964 in Hoffman Estates, a village in Illinois, United States. Little information is available on her family background and childhood. She attended Northern Illinois University from 1983 to 1985 and went on to enrol at Arizona State University, from where she graduated in 1988. She met Kimmel during her time at Arizona. Kimmel attended Arizona for two years but left before graduation.

The young couple got married on June 25, 1988 and moved to Seattle, Washington, where Kimmel landed a job as the co-host of ‘The Me and Him Show’ at KZOK-FM alongside Kent Voss.

In 1991, Gina and Kimmel welcomed their first child, a daughter they named Katie. Bright and creative, she would grow up to be a fashion designer just like her mother. Their son, Kevin, was born on September 19, 1993. He is involved in the entertainment industry just like his parents. He is an actor and a miscellaneous crew member.

Following her divorce from Kimmel, Gina Maddy Kimmel travelled for a bit and eventually made her way to Chicago. Gina got herself trained in costume designing and she found herself gravitating towards vintage-style clothing. She served as a costume designer on the television films ‘Party Like the Rich and Famous’ and ‘Party Like the Queen of France’. She made cameo appearances in them as well. Both films premiered in 2012.

In early 2014, she set up the apparel company Maddy James to make and sell her vintage inspired loungewear line. She started a Kickstarter campaign in order to raise $15,000. After the money was raised, she initially sold the products on Etsy. The company has since grown enough to sell their merchandise through their own website.
