In the wake of Suzanne Somers’ passing, many people who were either known to her in the past or impressed by her acting skills expressed their condolences, but the ones stuck with pure devastation were none other than her family.
Due to her close attachment to her husband and children, Somers spent her last days knowing they would be happy. But many have become curious about Bruce Somers Jr., her eldest son.
So, what happened to Somers’ son, Bruce Somers Jr.? When Bruce was young, he suffered a car accident, which resulted in a trauma that plagued the mother and son for years. In order to pay for his medical bills and ensure he lives as a healthy boy, Suzanne Somers posed for Playboy magazine, which, according to her, was a hard decision to make.
Who Is Bruce Somers Jr.?
Suzanne Somers had a tough upbringing, but when she was only 19, she dropped out of college after getting pregnant. She eventually married Bruce Somers, a renowned producer and writer.
However, they were divorced only after three years in 1968, but their first child is none other than Bruce Somers Jr., whom she raised alone by facing all the adversaries.
Somers Jr. was born in 1965, and Suzanne would often celebrate his birthday by wishing him all the good in the world. Nonetheless, he didn’t follow in her mother’s footsteps to become an actor.
Instead, he chose to become a businessman, although his exposure to the media as Suzanne’s son gave him a bit of a head start. He founded several businesses besides executive producing at Lost Kitty Production in the 90s.
Quigley-Simpson, Sincbox Media, and Somers & Somers Productions are the companies he is mainly known for as a businessman, but his life was mostly private.
Bruce Somers Jr.’s Family
Bruce Somers Jr. married Caroline Somers, a chef and cookbook author, in 1991. Together, they started a family with two daughters, Camelia and Violet.
While much isn’t known about his family, Somers Jr. often shares images of celebrating with his family on social media, including their birthdays and other holidays.
Furthermore, both Camelia and Violet adore their grandmother, Suzanne Somers, because they are seen promoting her products on Instagram accounts and, more often than not, having fun doing that.
What Happened to Bruce Somers Jr.?
Even though Bruce Somers Jr. is successful and healthy right now, it wasn’t the same when he was growing up. Bruce Somers Jr. had a car accident when he was young, leading to severe injuries requiring costly medical attention.
However, Suzanne Somers wasn’t rich back then, so she had to make a very critical decision to pose for Playboy, even though that may negatively affect her life. Nonetheless, she made the decision for the sake of her son.
No wonder the entire family, especially Bruce Somers Jr., loves her so much that they are often seen as some of the best mother-son duos whenever they appear together at talk shows.
Even though Bruce Somers Jr. suffered through the trauma of that childhood accident, he eventually overcame it with the help of her mother and has trodden on a path of success by venturing into various businesses.
After Suzanne Somers passed, he paid tribute to his mother on his Instagram post, calling her the best mother any son could ever dream of and how she always went against the world to raise him.
So, what do you think of Bruce Somers Jr. and Suzanne Somers bond? Do they have that ultimate mother-and-son dynamic?
