<a href="/biography/steve-wilkos">Steven John Wilkos</a> is an American <a href="/biography/steve-wilkos">television personality</a>, a former law enforcement officer with the Chicago Police Department, and a United States Marine Corps veteran. Since 2007, he has hosted The Steve Wilkos Show, and from 1994 to 2007, he was the <a href="/biography/steve-wilkos">director</a> of security for Jerry Springer. Before being handed his talk show, he had already filled in for Springer as host on multiple occasions.

<h2>Background and Age</h2>

<a href="/biography/steve-wilkos">Steven John Wilkos</a> was born on March 9, 1964, in Chicago, Illinois. His parents are Jeanette and Stanley Wilkos. Steve's mother, Jeanette, was passionate about making other women look more beautiful by engaging them in beauty classes and practical sessions. Wilkos' father, Stanley, influenced his son because he had a job in the police force.

Wilkos attended Lane Technical High School, where he graduated after turning 18. Steve then discovered his passion for security which led to employment in the United States Marines Corps for seven years. After his military stint, he joined the Chicago Police Department.

<h2>Marriage, Wife, and Kids</h2>

Wilkos has been married several times in his life. His first marriage was to Rosae Wilkos in 1985. Unfortunately, they broke up their marriage two years later, in 1987. The breakup wasn't entirely tricky as it could have been for them since they had no children together.

A few years after the divorce, Steve found a woman named Hannah, and they got married. Wilkos' second marriage would also end sadly, and the couple decided to divorce in 1999. At this time, he was just into his new television job, where he was exposed to many people, including women, who distracted him from his marriage. During the period, he fell in love with his current wife, a television producer named <a href="/biography/rachel-wilkos">Rachelle</a>.

Steve and <a href="/biography/rachel-wilkos">Rachelle</a>'s love grew fast, causing them to get married only a year after Wilkos' divorce from Hannah. The couple tied the knot in the year 2000. <a href="/biography/rachel-wilkos">Rachelle Wilkos</a> has been a <a href="/biography/rachel-wilkos">TV producer</a> for The Jerry Springer and her husband's show, The Steve Wilkos Show. <a href="/biography/rachel-wilkos">Rachelle</a> got into television production before her husband did. She was able to share tips and guidance to help Steve adapt to the television world.

The happily married couple gave birth to two children, Ruby and Jack. Ruby was born on October 14, 2003, while her brother Jack came into this world 20 months later on June 19, 2005.

Steve's wife, <a href="/biography/rachel-wilkos">Rachelle</a>, was born in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, on January 11, 1971. Rachael's mom, Maggie Varney, has something in common with Steve's mom, Jeanette Wilkos because they both try to make people beautiful in their line of work. Maggie specialized in dressing children's hair and established her own company called Wigs for Kids. This company grew beyond just making children look beautiful. It started to help them, especially when they had issues with diseases that caused hair loss.

Steve has recalled many times how his wife has been an anchor in his career path. She helped him manage his animosity towards staff on The Jerry Springer Show. Wilkos could have a short fuse because of his previous jobs, but <a href="/biography/rachel-wilkos">Rachelle</a> was always there to calm him down.

The more popular he became, the more he was invited to other talk shows. He was featured in an Austin Powers movie, and his voice was also on an episode of The Simpsons.

<h2>Hobbies</h2>

He loves doing the bench press exercise, and he says he can do an average of 240 pounds now, even though Wilkos used to do up to 300 when he was pretty younger.
