Kevin Sorbo's Wife Sam Sorbo Is a Constant Support and Collaborates on His Projects

Kevin Sorbo and his wife, Sam Sorbo, met on the set of "Hercules," a movie in which he starred and she made a guest appearance in 1996. The couple married two years later.

Kevin is a veteran of Hollywood and is credited as an actor in over 135 movies and television series. He has also been involved in several films as a producer in 21 productions and five as a director. His successful career has also gone hand-in-hand with a prosperous personal life.

His wife, Sam, is a multi-talented woman. However, her most notable work has been in the film and television industries, where she has been an actress, producer, and writer. She frequently collaborates with her husband and their children, whom she homeschools, have also been involved in the family business.

Kevin Sorbo's Wife, Sam Sorbo, Is a Woman of Many Talents

Sam sat down with Chad Silveus on his podcast, "The Chad Silveus Show," where she spoke about herself and how she and her husband fell in love. While introducing her, Silveus mentioned that she had a lot of credentials, including being an actress, model, radio show host, author, and homeschool advocate.

She has been in several Christian-themed films, including "Miracle in East Texas," "Let There Be Light," and "Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist." She has also been on several TV shows, adding up to over 30 appearances in movie and television productions. She has also written several books, some based on her children.

Additionally, Sam revealed that she and her husband met on the set of "Hercules," in which she played a princess. She pointed out that life imitates art as the couple first married on the show before they married in real life. The couple knew almost immediately after they met that they would fall in love.

Kevin's Wife Collaborates on Projects with Her Husband and Is a Constant Support

Kevin has had an extensive acting career which includes appearing in "Two and a Half Man" starring Charlie Sheen. As the pair are both actively involved in Hollywood, they have collaborated on many shows since they married. In 2014, it was reported that they supported the crowdfunding campaign to launch a tele-production called "Gosnell."

In 2017, the couple appeared on "TODAY" to promote their new movie, "Let There Be Light." The film tells the story of an atheist who converts to Christianity after going through a near-fatal accident. It was directed by Kevin, with Sam as a co-writer. It was a family affair as their children also had acting roles in the film.

Kevin and Sam Have Kids Together

After meeting on the set of "Hercules" in New Zealand in 1996, the couple wed on January 5, 1998. On August 22, 2001, they welcomed their first son, Braeden Cooper. Much like his parents, he has also been involved in the filmmaking industry, appearing in five films so far.

His younger brother, Shane Haaken, was born three years later, in 2004. He has also followed in his parents' footsteps and has three films to his credit so far, with one upcoming. The couple welcomed their third and last child in 2005, a baby girl named Octavia Flynn.

Sam Is an Advocate of Homeschooling

Another topic Sam and Silveus talked about on the show was homeschooling. Sam has homeschooled her three children since her oldest son was in elementary.

Sam wrote a book about homeschooling based on her experiences with her children. Their journey began when Braeden was in second grade, and she felt the teachers were not providing quality education at their local school.

Sam talked to her husband about taking him out of school and giving homeschooling a chance, something she was nervous about but still determined to do. She mentioned realizing that formal education teaches children they cannot do anything if a teacher hasn't formally instructed them.

Sam said that children are born with an inert ability to learn, which is beaten out of them by the government school system, and the system has flaws that make it contract learning. Although she began that journey, Sam said she had moments when she almost gave up, but they only gave her a newfound determination.
