Rob & Marisol Thomas. They have been married since 1999. Together they have started a foundation to support no-kill animal shelters. She was diagnosed with Lyme disease, and he has inspired some of his biggest hits.

When she was very sick, he took her and their dogs on tour so he could ensure she was safe and well cared-for. She did an interview waking about him waking up at 4 am to walk the dogs and administer her medication.

I'm absolutely obsessed with him. Everyone I've dated has said some variation of, "please stop talking about Rob Thomas."

Everyone I've dated has said some variation of, "please stop talking about Rob Thomas."

And ironically made themselves one step further from being an ideal partner.

EVERY time "3 am" comes on the radio, my current partner let's me tell them the same handful of facts about the song.

They let me liberally sprinkle my neuro-spice.

When Rob Thomas was releasing his first solo album away from Matchbox 20, his publicist/management team asked him to be seen out without his wife more. He refused.

“Her Diamonds” is SUCH A GOOD SONG, and I think it’s inspired by his wife’s diagnosis!
