Gene Simmons opens up about his daughter’s upcoming wedding plan

Gene Simmons recently discussed his thoughts on his daughter Sophie’s engagement and the upcoming wedding in an interview at his Rock & Brews restaurant in El Segundo, California.

Sophie Simmons, the legendary Kiss frontman’s daughter, got engaged to her boyfriend, James Henderson, one day before her 30th birthday.

The Israeli-American musician, 73, acknowledged his daughter’s engagement by saying,

“We were in Zürich [Switzerland] and Sophie and James, her potential husband, were there,”

The KISS singer then joked that nothing is official until they “cross the finish line.” Simmons recalled the moment,

“But in Zürich, Sophie literally said, ‘Can we go out, onto the nice sunset and everything? Let’s take a family photo,”

“I said, ‘Sure.’ And as I was posing, James dropped to his knees and I [gasped].”

Gene is still protective towards his soon-to-be-bride daughter Sophie

Gene seems to be very emotional, just like every father who learned about his daughter’s wedding did so. He expresses,

“I’m not ready. One second she’s just a pair of cheeks with little legs walking around. Next second, she’s a grown woman,”

“I’m not ready. But it’s happening. She’s getting married and he’s a great guy.”

Sophie’s engagement to her boyfriend James Henderson

It’s unclear how long Sophie and her new fiance have been dating before Gene revealed that they’ve “been living together for eight years… in sin!”

Adding to the joke, Gene told that Henderson would have a difficult time proposing to his daughter. He remarked,

“She’s going to turn him into an honest man. “Sophie wears the pants there, so he has no idea what he’s getting into. Yes, he’ll learn the truth.”
