Love Life: Marriage to Penn Jillette

Emily Zolten and Penn Jillette met in the early 2000s. The two seemed to be attracted to each other. Penn was 11 years older than Emily, and age did not seem to matter among the two lovebirds. They were in love, and age could not bar them from going ahead with their plans. Emily and Penn dated for a while before finally tying the knot in 2004. It was a beautiful ceremony that was attended by their family and friends.

Emily was pregnant by the time they got married. They got married in November 2004, and in June 2005, they welcomed their first child together. A year later, the couple welcomed their second bundle of joy, a son named Zolten Penn Jillette. Both of Emily’s children are both adults.
