Who Is Boogie Tillmon, Trey Parker's 2nd Wife and Mother to Their Daughter?
If one only looked at Boogie Tillmon's social media, @thesouthparkers, one would assume that she was still Trey Parker's wife. The exes remain bizarrely close despite parting ways romantically in 2019.
Boogie Tillmon came into the public eye as the spouse of someone rich and famous but stayed there for her alternative take on parenting, family, and lust for life. She goes on regular vacations and outings with her family, including her ex.
It is unlikely that there is a swear jar in the Parker household. The comedian has roped in his daughter and stepson to do voice work on his notoriously expletive-heavy adult animation, "South Park."
Boogie Tillmon Reportedly Contributed to the Demise of Trey Parker's First Marriage
According to Vice, Trey went through a "mid-life crisis" at the end of the 2000s and left his wife for Tillmon, an exotic dancer, during that time.
He had married socialite Emma Sugiyama in 2009 in a ceremony officiated by legendary producer Norman Lear, and the comedian himself regaled guests with Neil Diamond belters. Their divorce was finalized in 2010.
The Academy Award nominee had his new girlfriend's name largely tattooed on his arm around 2010. They had their first child together in August 2013, named Betty Boogie Parker. The couple married in an ornate church in a coastal town on April 2, 2014.

The couple reportedly settled into a 12,271-square-foot Spanish Colonial mansion in Brentwood after the birth of their daughter, which set the comedian back $13.888 million.
Tillmon, who also goes by her husband's last name, is the chronicler of her modern family's life on an Insta with over 25,000 followers.
There, she shares wholesome images of family outings like strawberry picking alongside snaps of her adding tattoos to her vast collection of words that most media houses can't publish.

Their Only Daughter Is A "South Park" Voice Actress
Betty got a masterclass in voice acting on the job from her father when she made her debut in the world of irreverent comedy at three. Her mom captured the moment on social media as Trey coached his toddler through dialogue that most parents will ground their kids for.
Tillmon regularly shares family images in farm settings and shows off her horse-riding acumen.
She has been in 26 episodes of "South Park" since season 19 in 2015. Her most notable contribution is voicing Ike Broflovski from seasons 20 to 23 and in the 2017 video game "South Park: Phone Destroyer."
Betty did additional voices for the video game "South Park: The Fractured but Whole." With her considerable contribution to the Comedy Central hit, the preteen was featured in "South Park: The 25th Anniversary Concert" in 2022.
During the pandemic, the youngster provided needed levity by voicing the character of Jared Kushner in the deep fake short film released in October 2020, "Sassy Justice." Trey starred opposite his daughter as the mouthpiece for an Al Gore character.
The young equestrian won multiple first-place ribbons at an event in November 2020. Tillmon regularly shares family images in farm settings and shows off her horse-riding acumen. She posted in May 2021, "Don't get better than animals and family."
Betty Is Trey's Only Progeny, but Boogie Has Another Kid
Tillmon came into the marriage with a son from a previous relationship, Kobe Ervin, born in February 2001. Her son's unnamed father features on her social media feed only once, in a carousel of images on her son's 21st birthday.
Ervin also goes by Kobe Irving and has done a few hours of voice acting for "South Park." Between 2016 and 2022, he has voiced "distracted kid driving," hipsters, and teenagers for the Comedy Central show.
After he graduated from Arete Preparatory Academy in 2019, the whole family and one of his friends went on a month-long European vacation. The voice actor got his first ink before his 21st birthday, with Alpha and Omega symbols on his wrists.
Trey Filed for Divorce in 2019
According to the divorce papers filed by Trey, he stopped living with Tillmon on February 28, 2019. He cited irreconcilable differences as the official reason for the split, which she concurred with in her response to the divorce petition.
The exes have never elaborated on any other reason or incident that led to the end of the five-year union. They kept co-parenting their daughter Betty, and the writer was in his stepson's life throughout and beyond the legal proceedings.
Despite having drawn up a pre-nuptial agreement, the former couple only settled two years later, in March 2021. He requested joint custody of their daughter Betty, but details of the deal were not made public.
