Introduction
When someone mentions Todd Spiewak, most people think of him as the husband of the more famous Sheldon Cooper from the “Big Bang Theory” show. However, Spiewak is not just another lazy husband of a wealthy woman – he has his own successful career in Hollywood. Who is Jim Parsons’ husband? What does he do for a living?
Early life and education
Todd Spiewak was born on January 19, 1977 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Little is known about his early life as he keeps this information private.
After enrolling in a high school in his hometown, he enrolled at Boston University and graduated in 1999 with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts in the field of graphic design. Spiewak then moved to New York to find better career opportunities for his profession.
Career
In New York, Spiewak began working as an ad designer for several major companies, including Kitchen Aid, Barnes and Nobles, The American Express, and The New York Times.
Spiewak then changed his career path to become a film producer.
He first started out as an executive producer for a 2017 documentary about four patients undergoing special treatment for their conditions called “First in Human: The Trials of Building 10”. That same year, he was an executive producer of the TV movie “The Family Gene”.
In late 2017, Spiewak gained worldwide recognition as an executive producer of a series about the childhood of his husband’s character, “Young Sheldon”. He remained the producer for all episodes of the show and, as of April 2020, is still working on the same series.
In 2018, Spiewak produced the family drama called “A Kid Like Jake”, and the following year also produced eight episodes of the TV series “Special”.
At the same time, he was a producer of TV shows such as “Last Chance Hospital” and “The Monarchy is Going to Sh*t”.
Married to Jim Parson
Spiewak met Jim Parsons in 2002 at a New York karaoke bar and the two immediately felt a spark.
Jim Parsons is the famous actor best known for his portrayal of Sheldon Cooper in the CBS TV sitcom “The Big Bang Theory”, and he has also appeared in movies such as “A Kid Like Jake” – produced by Spiewak – ” Hidden Figures” and “Visions”. Parsons has also won four Primetime Emmy Awards and one Golden Globe Award.
Despite starting their relationship just a few weeks after meeting in 2002, the couple was not seen together in public until 2013, when they attended the 9th annual GLSEN Respect Awards held at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, California. At this event, the duo won an Inspiration Award for being the business-savvy couple of the year. They have also won a Bravo Otto – Hot Couple Award as they are among the best looking couples in the entertainment industry. The news that the two have been dating for years came as a surprise to Parson’s fan base and the media around the world. Most people don’t know that Parsons gave Spiewak a shout out at the 2010 Emmy Award ceremony, but no one suspected anything.
The couple married on May 13, 2017, after 15 years of dating, in a ceremony at Rainbow Room, New York City’s legendary rooftop cocktail lounge.
Parsons has several times called his husband his “favorite person in the world.”
Some time after their marriage, the couple stated that they are considering seeking a surrogate mother for their first child. This came as a surprise to the public, as Parsons has always maintained that he doesn’t want the responsibility of taking care of a baby. However, over time, he apparently changed his mind and supported his husband’s desire to start a family.
Private life
Spiewak and his husband founded a production company called That’s Wonderful Productions, LLC.
The couple has two dogs, a Maltese and a Shih Tzu.
Unsurprisingly, both Spiewak and Parsons are strong advocates for LGBT rights and have become one of the trademarks of the gay community, especially in New York, where they spend most of their time. However, the couple has stated multiple times that they are just two persons in love and they don’t want to encourage others to become gay, nor do they just want to be known as a gay couple.
Spiewak does his best to keep his life private and away from the media. However, Parsons has discovers in a speech that Mr. and Mrs. Spiewak are present in their lives and are quite supportive of their relationship and life choices.
He is not a fan of social media and has no public accounts. However, his husband is quite popular on Instagram, where he has about seven million followers, and often posts pictures of his husband and their dogs.
Net value
Spiewak excelled in his career paths and this helped him earn a small fortune.
As a graphic designer, his annual salary was estimated at somewhere between $93,446 and $143,516. His net worth is estimated to be around $7 million – which is impressive, but much less than his husband earns as Parsons’ net worth is reported to be over $80 million.
Spiewak and Parsons share a house in an area of New York City called Gramercy Park. In 2011, they bought a penthouse in Manhattan, New York, for a price of $1.822 million. The following year, they bought another apartment in the same neighborhood, and this one was even more expensive, for a whopping $2.825 million.

The couple sold one of their properties in 2019 and they made $6.95 million from this sale alone. The house had 3.5 bathrooms and three bedrooms and the asking price was $8.995 million!
Spiewak and Parsons also share several luxury cars, such as a Ford Mustang with a base value of $25,000 and a Mercedes Benz with a base value of $149,000.
Physical Characteristics
Spiewak is a handsome man with a slim body, black hair and deep brown eyes. He has not revealed his exact height or weight, but judging by the photos, he is just a little shorter than his husband who is 6 feet 8 inches (1.86 m) tall.
