Shannon Tweed, Sara Tweed, Kim Tweed, Lance Tweed, and Jeff Tweed are her siblings. After her father was in a terrible automobile accident that left him in a coma and ruined his mink ranching business, the family moved to her mother's family home in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, when she was a youngster. They lived on government welfare. Shannon Tweed got into beauty pageants after having breast augmentation surgery at the age of 20.

From 2006 through 2012, Tweed and her family were featured in the television reality show Gene Simmons Family Jewels. Simmons' proposal to her and their subsequent marriage at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, was one of the series' highlights. Tweed's old city of Saskatoon was the setting for an episode of the show in 2010. She was given an honorary street sign commemorating the (nonexistent) "Tweed Lane" during her visit. Tourism Saskatoon then asked that a genuine Tweed Lane be named in her honor by the Saskatoon City Council. The City Council approved the request, and the street is located in the Rosewood area.
Shannon Tweed got married to the popular music group Kiss, Gene Simmons, in 2011. But, although they got into marriage in 2011, they were dating and living together 20 years long. Before their wedding, Shannon Tweed and Gene Simmons got two children not born in wedlock. Shannon's husband, Gene Simmons, is proud of his wife and how she treats their kids. The Simmons-Tweed couple is stable, and they don't plan the divorce process.

Her first meeting with her future husband, musician Gene Simmons, took place at the Mansion. Since 1983, Tweed has been in a relationship with Simmons. Simmons stated in a 2011 interview, "Shannon is exactly what I'm looking for in my life. She makes me accountable not only because of love and family, but also because she loves me."
