Dr. Mehmet Oz and his wife, Lisa Oz, have been a steadfast pair since their marriage in 1985, supporting each other through both personal and professional milestones. Together, they raised four children—Daphne, Oliver, Arabella, and Zoe—and have since become proud grandparents to four grandchildren, continuing to build a loving and growing family.
Who is Dr. Oz's wife Lisa?
Dr. Oz and his wife Lisa met through their fathers, who were both cardiothoracic surgeons. Dr. Oz and his wife had a deep connection with Pennsylvania, where they got married. Lisa was born in Philadelphia, and she completed her graduation from Bryn Mawr College. Dr. Oz attended college at the University of Pennsylvania, as reported by People magazine.
Lisa, once a working actress with roles in TV and film, including a memorable five-episode stint on Dallas in the late '70s and early '80s, eventually shifted her career focus. She transitioned into other ventures, often alongside her husband. It was Lisa’s idea for Dr. Oz to host his own TV show after he became a regular guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the 2000s, leading to the launch of The Dr. Oz Show.
Their relationship had an interesting start as they did not just meet through their fathers, but also went on their first dinner date with their parents present. In 2018, Lisa shared with Yahoo, “He didn’t speak to me the entire dinner. He spoke to my mom.” her now husband added that he figured "if I get Mom to buy into me as a reasonable suitor, I can get Lisa to come on a date with me.”
