Rise to Fame
Michel Stern lead an ordinary life until he started dating the popular actress Lisa Kudrow in the 1990s. Prior to being associated with Lisa, Michel’s past was rarely discussed in public. Michel spent his early years in his hometown in France and later moved to the United States to pursue a career in advertising. After a couple of years in the industry, he made a name for himself as a successful advertising executive. However, he still wasn’t a public figure as he is now. It was only after he started dating Lisa Kudrow, who was on the rise as a popular TV actress, that he gained traction and attention in the media.
Lisa’s popularity as Phoebe Buffay in the popular sitcom ‘FRIENDS’ was increasing every day, and her fans were curious about her dating life. It was then that her relationship with Michel was revealed. Since then, they have been followed by the media and their relationship was extensively covered by many news outlets. Despite the hullaballoo, Michel has managed to carve his own space and remained off the grid. Though Stern has avoided attending major film festivals and red-carpet events, he was seen alongside Lisa at the 10th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2004 to support her.
Even today, Michel continues to stay off the radar and rarely makes a public appearance. He is also not very active on any social media channels, unlike his wife. He continues to be Lisa’s doting husband who has stood by her and has supported her career through thick and thin. The couple’s strong marriage of so many years is often a subject of envy among their fans. Despite the media attention, Michel refuses to actively talk about his personal life. It is very likely that Stern has retired from his professional career in advertising now and leads a relaxed life with his wife and family in Los Angeles.
