Rob Riggle was a former United States Marine Corps Reserve Lieutenant Colonel. He was born Robert Allen Riggle Jr., on April 21, 1970, in Louisville, Kentucky, to Sandra (nee Shrout) and Robert Riggle. He entered the entertainment industry in 1998, and shortly after, he started his family.

However, his then-wife Tiffany Riggle is not part of show business. She majored in science, is an interior designer who owns her own company and has worked as a clothing and accessories buyer for several New York retailers.

Rob Riggle's Memorable First Encounter with Tiffany Riggle

In a May 2014 interview, Rob recalled meeting his future wife for the first time. He revealed that on the evening they met, he had met up with a pal and her boyfriend for drinks. The said friend had brought a co-worker he described as "stunning." The colleague was Tiffany.

Rob remembered what she wore that night and explained how he felt when he first saw her: "I was so impressed, then I got nervous and squirrely. But I got her laughing, and that's all that mattered."

They hit off after meeting, and soon enough, Tiffany upped and left to be with him in New York. The lovebirds tied the knot on April 13, 1999. They welcomed two children within their union, daughter Abigail and youngest child, son George who they prefer to keep out of the limelight.

Tiffany Riggle Is an Interior Designer – She Remodeled the Couple's Home

Unlike the famous actor who has earned notable television credits and has added being a producer and writer to his resume, Tiffany is an interior designer who developed a passion for interior designing while renovating their home in Westlake Village, California.

She and Rob had been Los Angeles residents for years before falling in love with their Westlake Village property in 2015. When they purchased the house, it needed to be remodeled, and Tiffany shared she managed to give it a proper makeover. She could seamlessly incorporate her ideas into the abode and rework the "pet peeves" she disliked.

In 2019, she and two other designers, Mat Sanders and Nathan Turner, appeared in A&E and FYI's reality show, "Working the Room." It is a program that followers esteemed designers who work closely with their clients to give a room makeover.

During an interview in the show, Tiffany said the best way to transform a room is to declutter and paint it, adding, "You have to have some cohesiveness. And sometimes it's just the matter of getting the ten things off of the coffee table and putting three pretty things."

The mother of two explained she had become obsessed with lights because they can easily make a statement in a room. "I like to call it the jewelry of the house," she stated. Tiffany is now the founder of the interior design firm, Tickled Crow.

Tiffany Riggle & Rob Riggle Divorce Following Alleged Spy Tactics & Theft

After 21 years of marriage, Tiffany filed for divorce from Rob. The news made headlines in October 2020, but she reportedly listed May 2, 2020, as the date of separation. She had filed the legal papers in Ventura County court, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their divorce.

In the filing, the interior designer asked for joint custody of their kids, including spousal support. Months after the divorce news, Rob revealed Tiffany had hacked his Apple account, stolen $28,000 from him, and spied on him through a hidden camera.

Per court documents, he stayed at their smaller home while she remained in their marital home with the children amid their divorce. She allegedly had access to his new home and denied everything when he confronted her about the missing money.

He had felt he was being watched from his home office and had his house electronically swept for devices. Rob claimed they found a hidden spy camera in his smoke detector and believes it was installed in August 2020, monitoring him until he found it.

He also disclosed that one of the clips showed Tiffany installing the spy cam, and another showed her counting money he believed was the $28k unaccounted for. In January 2022, the stand-up comedian sued his estranged wife, whom he believes started spying on him just before she filed for divorce.

Rob claimed he and Tiffany were attempting to salvage their marriage by staying in separate houses while taking turns living with their son and daughter. However, things became even more challenging once he noticed that she knew about his whereabouts, including who he was communicating with — his girlfriend and assistant.

He sued her for damages and has moved on to a new relationship. In July 2022, there were reports that he was dating pro golfer Kasia Kay after going Instagram official. Kay is a former contestant from Rob's game show, "Holey Moley."

From starring in minor and uncredited roles, Rob has since upped his game in the entertainment industry and has gained lead roles and voicing animations. He has appeared in several feature films, including Dr. Seuss' 2012 animated musical comedy, "The Lorax," alongside Danny DeVito, Zac Efron, and Betty White.
