The Alex Meraz fansite called The Meraz Effect had a chance to interview Alex’s wife (sorry ladies, but he’s very taken) about what their life is like.

“Kim is the lucky wife to the multitalented Alex Meraz, but those who are avid Alex-supporters, know that Kim is a strong and admirable person in her own right. During Alex and Kim’s first Australian convention, I had the chance to talk profession, family, marriage, Twilight and of course, Alex, with Kim.

During my interview with Kim, it became obvious that she is the back bone to Alex’s life, working behind-the-scenes in corporate finance, as well as giving truly dedicated wifely support. Kim laughs when I quote that behind every great man, is a great woman, “I love that saying,” she says as I explain how relevant that is for Alex and herself.

As professional as the couple are, Kim explains that they must balance the dynamics of work and private life. The couple rarely have a large break from Alex’s now-busy schedule, which makes them appreciate and utilize the precious time they get to spend together as a family. Together, with their 2 year old son, Somak, the Meraz family prefer a quiet time at home to doing anything else. Kim describes the treasured time they get to spend together bathing Somak and reading him a bedtime story.  Kim chuckles and tells me that when Alex is around, he becomes the apple of Somak’s eye, and that she quickly turns into little more than chop liver.”
