- Dr. Mehmet Oz and Lisa Oz, both cardiothoracic surgeons, have been married in 1985.
- Mehmet's success on The Oprah Winfrey Show led to the launch of The Dr. Oz Show.
- Their partnership faced controversy in 2015.
Their connection began through their fathers, both cardiothoracic surgeons. The couple married in Pennsylvania, where they both had deep ties: Lisa was a Philadelphia native and Bryn Mawr College alumna, while Mehmet attended medical school at the University of Pennsylvania.
Their relationship, which includes four children and four grandchildren, has thrived on reinvention. Mehmet credits their enduring bond to continually refreshing their relationship every seven years, likening it to experiencing marriage with four different women.
Lisa's support for Mehmet has been unwavering, even suggesting he pursue his own TV show after his success on The Oprah Winfrey Show. This led to the launch of The Dr. Oz Show, which aired from 2009 to 2022. Lisa, who once acted and appeared in the series Dallas, also co-hosted episodes of Mehmet's show and had her own wellness series, The Lisa Oz Show.
In addition to her television work, Lisa is a successful author, co-writing several best-sellers, including US: Transforming Ourselves and the Relationships That Matter Most and The Oz Family Kitchen cookbook.
Their partnership was tested in 2015 when Mehmet faced controversy from fellow physicians who questioned his commitment to evidence-based medicine. Lisa stood by him, offering support and perspective, highlighting the strength of their bond through both triumphs and trials.
