Zoe Perry is married to Gab Taraboulsy, a Canadian producer and director.
Perry keeps her private life out of the spotlight. That is why some details about the couple, including the exact wedding year, are reported differently online.
This article sticks to what can be verified. It does not repeat the old article’s claims about two children, a 2018 wedding, or a Brooklyn home, because none of those claims held up.

Who Is Zoe Perry’s Husband?
Gab Taraboulsy works behind the camera as a producer and director.
His work is largely in documentary and food-related projects. His credits include Heritage (2015), The Grill Iron (2014), and My First Movie (2011).
He also directed Funke (2018), a documentary about a chef. He is linked to the Los Angeles production company Delicious Cinema.
Taraboulsy is not an on-screen star in the way Perry is. That is one reason far less is written about him than about his wife.
A Note on the Spelling of His Name
You may see his surname spelled “Tarabously” online. That spelling is even used in this article’s web address.
His professional credits use “Taraboulsy.” This article uses that spelling, while the web address stays unchanged.
When Did Zoe Perry and Gab Taraboulsy Marry?
Perry and Taraboulsy are married. The couple have not made a public announcement with a confirmed wedding date.
Some profiles report that they married in 2021. Others report 2022. The couple’s wedding is also described in some reports as a private ceremony.
Because the year is reported differently and no primary confirmation was found, this article does not present one wedding year as settled fact.
What is clear is that Perry spoke about Taraboulsy as her partner in a Field Team 6 video in 2021. She praised his talent in that appearance.
Do Zoe Perry and Gab Taraboulsy Have Children?
The old article said the couple have two children together. That claim has been removed.
No reliable public source confirms that Perry and Taraboulsy have children. Several profiles published up to 2023 reported that they did not have children.
Perry does not discuss her family plans in public interviews in any detail. Until a reliable source confirms otherwise, this article does not state a number of children.
Who Are Zoe Perry’s Parents?
Zoe Perry is the daughter of actors Laurie Metcalf and Jeff Perry.
Her parents divorced when she was three years old. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, on 26 September 1983.
The family link runs through her best-known role. Metcalf played Mary Cooper, Sheldon Cooper’s mother, on The Big Bang Theory.
Perry later played a younger version of the same character on Young Sheldon. She won the part through an audition, despite the family connection.
The Old Article’s Wedding Error
One section of the old article said Zoe Perry married Jeff Perry on 9 June 2018. That is wrong.
Jeff Perry is Zoe Perry’s father, not her husband. Her husband is Gab Taraboulsy.
That section has been deleted in full.
Zoe Perry’s Career
Perry began on television as a child. Her early appearances were as a young Jackie Harris in flashback scenes on Roseanne.
Jackie Harris was her mother Laurie Metcalf’s character on that show.
Perry later studied at Boston University, then transferred to Northwestern University. She graduated from Northwestern with a BA.
She has said she was shy about acting in high school. She began performing at Northwestern as a way to make friends.
Key Roles
- The Family (2016) — Jane, a nine-episode arc
- Scandal (2017) — Samantha Ruland, a recurring role
- Young Sheldon (2017–2024) — Mary Cooper, a main role
- Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage (2024–present) — Mary Cooper, a recurring role
Her work as Mary Cooper earned her a Critics’ Choice Television Award nomination in 2019. The category was Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
Young Sheldon ran for seven seasons. Perry then carried the role into the spin-off Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, which premiered on CBS on 17 October 2024.
What the Old Article Got Wrong
The old article was a mix of repeated lines, wrong names, and unrelated material. These are the main corrections:
- It called Perry best known for Mom. Her best-known role is Mary Cooper in Young Sheldon.
- It said she married Jeff Perry in 2018. Jeff Perry is her father.
- It said the couple have two children. No reliable source confirms children.
- It said Perry lives in Brooklyn, New York. No reliable source was found for a current home, so no home city is claimed here.
- It listed siblings named Shannon Perry and Trevor Perry. Published sibling lists conflict, so no sibling names are given here.
- It included a section about “Zoe Perry Eyes,” an optometrist in the UK. That person is not the actress, and the section has been removed.
- It described Mary Cooper as if Perry played the role on The Big Bang Theory. Her mother played that role on The Big Bang Theory. Perry played the younger version on Young Sheldon.
