South Park has been a staple of the small screen since the latter part of the 90s, and even now, the series continues to haul in a sizable audience each week. Even when stacked against shows like Friends, The Bachelor, and the latest Netflix offering, South Park has continued to stand tall and dominate its respective corner of the television market.
Matt Stone is one of the two minds that brought the series to life, and for the most part, he has kept his personal life out of the attention of the media. One thing we do know is that Matt is married to the beautiful Angela Howard. Despite being with an industry figure, Angela has kept out of the spotlight.
Let’s take a look at just who Matt Stone’s wife is!
3 They Met Back In 2001
Matt Stone has been a prominent name in the business for over 20 years now, and he has been rubbing elbows with the other titans of television. Instead of finding love with someone else on television, Matt chose a more traditional path when he met and eventually married his beautiful wife.
It has been reported that Angela was an executive at Comedy Central, which is the channel that has been the home of South Park for years. Stone did not chase after someone who works in a typical part of the industry. Instead, he wound up getting with someone who worked way behind the scenes.
When they met in 2001, South Park was very much a hot commodity that was busy carving a massive name for itself on television. It was a raunchy animated show that was geared towards an older audience, and it was doing great numbers for the channel. Over time, it would blossom into a cultural staple that still stands its ground and is willing to take on any subject matter.
After meeting back in 2001, Promipool reports that the couple would get married in 2008. Safe to say that they spent quite a long time getting to know each other on a deeper level instead of just rushing into things and getting married on a whim. After 12 years, the couple is still happily married and making things work.
Now that we have some context about how Matt Stone and Angela met, let’s shine a light on their lives, which changed drastically as time went on.
2 They Have Two Children Together
Matt and Angela Stone took their time before getting married, and 12 years have now passed since they made things official. The pair have two children together, which has certainly changed things in their life.
Not unlike Angela, little is know about the children that the duo share and all Matt’s IMDb reports is that they are parents of two. Outside of that, it does mention that the family of four resides in Southern California, which just happens to be a gorgeous place to live.
Interestingly, Matt Stone’s South Park co-creator, Trey Parker, has been far more open about his daughter. In fact, Trey’s daughter has actually lent her voice to the series before, though Trey was heavily involved in that particular process. While Matt and Trey handle most of the voices, it’s cool to see that Trey has let his daughter get involved.
South Park has worked so well over the years thanks to the balance that Matt and Trey have, and this comes from being different from one another. So, it’s pretty interesting to see how they have both approached their family’s time in the spotlight.
Of course, with Trey Parker’s daughter getting in the mix, one has to wonder if Angela or her children have gotten involved in making the show.
1 She’s Not Into Acting
Unlike Trey Parker, who was more than happy to have his daughter lend her voice to the series, Matt Stone has made sure to keep his family away from his work over the years.
At this time, Angela and her children are not known to have had any involvement in lending their voices to the characters on South Park. Not only that, but it doesn't seem like Angela has any acting credits to her name.
While she did serve as an executive at Comedy Central, acting must not have ever been her thing. Instead, she was much more interested in the finer workings of running a successful television network. Given what Comedy Central has done over the years, she clearly knew what she was doing behind the scenes.
While we may never get to know Angela or her children, one thing we do know is that her marriage to Matt Stone has been going for years. Other couples should consider taking some notes because most romances in the business don’t last nearly as long as this one has.
