The legendary frontman of Twisted Sister has never been shy about standing up for himself and what he believe. And this extends to his love for his partner Suzette Snider as well. The rebellious rocker recently joined in on an online debate about age-gap relationships and defended his own marriage on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The heavy metal legend clapped back with: “Wait…what? She’s only 5 years younger than me! Lol!” Later on, he wrote another tweet to defend his relationship with his wife of more than four decades.
“I met my wife, Suzette, when she was 15 and I was 21,” the heavy metal legend previously said in an interview

To the end,” he said. The couple first met in the 1970s when Suzette, a teenager at the time, used a fake ID to get into a Twisted Sister show without even knowing who the band was.
After meeting in 1976, the couple tied the knot in 1981 and have since remained together through all of life’s ups and downs

I saw her and flipped.” “She was this hot Italian beauty. I told her I’d be famous one day. We’ve been together ever since – that’s 43 years,” he continued. The singer has also never shied away from admitting that he has gone for counseling with the mother of his four children.
Dee and Suzette are parents to four children, Jesse, Shane, Cody, and Cheyenne

Twisted Sister was at the top of the charts and it went to my head. I became a megalomaniac. We ended up going to counselling,” the metal-head said. “By 1992, I’d lost it all and Suzette went back to work until I got back on my feet. She is a costume designer who came up with the band’s logo, did our make-up and made my costumes,” he continued. “Suzette has stuck by me through thick and thin.”
