Adam Carolla is a Los Angeles native who was brought up in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, before moving to North Hollywood at a later stage. He credits his parents for being where he is today in his Hollywood career.
Adam first studied entertainment with The Groundlings, an improv group. Comedian Jimmy Kimmel helped him with his job at LA radio station KROQ's "Kevin and Bean Morning Show." It is where he met Dr. Drew Pinsky, host of the "Loveline" radio show, who offered him a co-hosting gig in 1995.
After the show became a massive success on the national radio network, he left in 2005. He is also an actor and has starred in "The Man Show" with Joe Rogan and "Crank Yankers" with Sarah Silverman.

Adam Carolla Was Previously Married to Lynette Carolla – They Share Two Kids
Before his relationship with Crystal, Adam was married to Lynette Carolla. After dating for almost six years, the former couple got hitched in September 2002 and welcomed twins Natalia and Santino in June 2006.
After being married for 18 years, Adam and Lynette amicably decided to split. The radio personality announced the news on his "Adam Carolla Show" podcast in May 2021.
Adam told his listeners that they would start the show on a sad note while admitting that that period was difficult for him at the time. The podcaster revealed:
"Lynette and I are getting divorced. It's not something that I wanted to get or to do, I'm a product of divorce, Lynette's a product of divorce… No one ever signs up to get divorced."
Adam shared that he and Lynette had been separated for a few months and decided to part ways because they were "very different." He stated no one was unfaithful between them and explained that after being together for 25 years, they had grown apart and could not meet each other halfway.
The duo's divorce was finalized in July 2023, and Adam agreed to pay Lynette at least $17,000 monthly in child support for their son and daughter. It is stipulated as a base amount per legal documents as it is expected to increase depending on the father of two's income.
Adam and Lynette also agreed to split the cost of their children's extracurricular activities, such as tutoring, cell phones, and college test prep fees. However, the television star will foot the bill for their health insurance alone. He also agreed to fork out an additional $30,000 in spousal support for Lynette.
What Does Lynette Carolla Do for a Living?
Lynette is the CEO of Carolla Drinks, the host of the "Carolla Drinks AfterShow," and a co-host of "For CryingOut Loud" on PodcastOne. She is based in Los Angeles. The mother of two is also the Business Development Executive and co-founder for Carolla Digital.
She previously worked at ABC Network as a Manager Programming/Scheduling Primetime. On her podcast, "For CryingOut Loud," she and her co-host Stefanie Wilder-Taylor and producer Caelan Biehan touch on various topics, including marriage and divorce.
Lynette's former husband revealed the couple's kids did not react to their breakup news — to his disappointment. However, the month before their divorce was finalized, Adam paid tribute to his children on Instagram.
He posted a throwback snapshot of them and him in the middle and captioned it, "Can you believe these two turn 17 today?! Happy birthday to the greatest kids on the planet! Love you." Lynette also paid homage to the twins in June 2022, sharing pictures of them from their childhood and up until recent years.
The podcaster penned that she was scared after learning she would have twins. However, once the loving parent discovered she was having a boy and a girl, she oddly found "comfort" because she believed they would even the playing field.
"I was blessed to get the best of both worlds and turns out I was right. They are very opposite but they compliment each other and I'm proud of the teens they are today," the doting mom wrote.
Lynette celebrated her son and daughter on April 11, 2021. She posted a photo of them and the family dog, writing, "#happysiblingsday to two out of these three." Another public figure, actress Molly Ringwald, is also a mom of twins.
