Personal Life and Social Media
For her personal life, it is known that Naomi married Bob in 1997 after the two grew close thanks to their work in “The Show”; she admitted to being a bit of a stalker towards her husband back when they were not yet in a relationship. The two share a passion for production work and the inner machinations of film and television projects. The two often appear together at red carpet events. They have two children together, one of whom has also decided to pursue a career in entertainment as an actor, with the family living so close to work.
One of the reasons why there is very limited information about her is due to the lack of any strong online presence. She does not have accounts on any of the major social media websites – like her choice of profession, she prefers to stay in the background supporting her husband. She enjoys her privacy, wanting to keep a separation between her professional life and personal life. She is not shy on being with her husband in events, however, and the two are often photographed together in public.
