However, we do know that the two love birds started dating in 1973 around the same time Eugene was starting out in the Second City Toronto cast.

At the time, Eugene had acted in two films, Foxy Lady and Cannibal Girls, and briefly had a fling with Schitt’s Creek costar  O’Hara. They tied the knot four years later in June 1977 in a beautiful wedding ceremony in front of a reported 300 guests.

Divine and Levy have two children. Their children also followed the footsteps of their father and became actors. The actor and his wife, Deborah Divine are the parents of 2 of Schitt’s Creek co-stars. Their children are Sarah Levy and Dan Levy. Their son Dan is 39 years and their daughter is also 36 years old as of 2022.

The couple’s son, Dan not only co-created the show alongside his dad but also played Eugene’s character’s son, David Rose. Their daughter Sarah Levy also portrayed Cafe Tropical owner Twyla Sands. Sarah has been dubbed “the unsung genius of Schitt’s Creek.”

Eugene Levy’s wife, Divine has been an incredibly proud and fierce mama bear throughout her parenting journey. In the year 2019, her husband told People that they had a strict family unit when their children were young.

The thing was for us if you crossed the line, there was going to be some sort of punishment,” the husband admitted. While it may have been easier for the couple to stay in Los Angeles for their careers, GQ reports that they chose to relocate to Toronto to raise their children and provide Sarah and Dan with “normal childhoods.”

By the looks of things, their parenting method worked. “Honestly we’ve never had a problem with our kids,” Deborah Divine’s husband Levy told the magazine. “It was fun as they got older because then they’d start making us laugh. There were more times that Daniel had us laughing than I ever had anybody laughing.”

Deborah Divine’s love for Her devotion to her family was also instrumental in helping Dan to accept his sexuality many years ago. On the show Watch What Happens Live last year, Dan revealed that she was the first to inquire whether he was gay, noting her “very close” mother-son relationship in helping him accept his identity as a person.

Levy is an advocate for autism awareness and treatment. He was a close friend of actor John Candy. Levy is a member of the Canadian charity Artists Against Racism.

Divine also used her Twitter to show serious support for their kids, at one point the wife of Eugene Levy called out the “bully punks” from her son’s camp.

This goes out to the bully punks at Camp WTF who made life miserable for a certain cabin-mate back in the the summer of ‘96 – just because he was different. Well, after all these years I have just 7 words to say to you: “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” @danjlevy ❤️
