Who are The Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik’s two sons that she shares with ex-husband Michael Stone.
Mayim Bialik has achieved immense fame and is now a household name across the world thanks to her roles in hit television series like Blossom and The Big Bang Theory. An actor, an author, neuroscientist, and a vocal advocate for attachment parenting, Bialik is mother to two sons whom she shares with her ex-husband, Michael Stone.
Given her celebrity status and often controversial views regarding a range of different topics, the actress’ multi-faceted life often piques public curiosity. Yet, despite her fame, she has managed to keep her kids out of the public eye as much as she can, and has been balancing her public persona with her role as a mother with finesse to price her kids a sense of normalcy.
As she continues to grow and thrive in the film industry, here is a look into her personal life and all that we know about her two kids, Miles and Fredrick Bialik Stone.
Mayim Bialik was married to Michael Stone for nine years
Mayim Bialik is widely known as the eccentric and quirky Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory. While her onscreen character initially struggled to find love, Bialik was married to Michael Stone from 2003 to 2012. They met each other while attending the University of California, Los Angeles, in a calculus class (via Reuters).
However, Stone wasn’t a follower of Judaism and was raised Mormon. After dating each other for five years, Stone decided to embrace Judaism, as Bialik revealed in a post on Kveller. She further recalled the details of how they got married.
It was on our first date that I told my gentile friend Mike that I could only marry a Jew… Soon, Mike started coming to Temple with me and celebrating holidays with my family. His kippah looked at home atop his dark curls. His intellect was sharp and keen as a Talmudic scholar, noted my Rabbi. He understood the importance I placed on raising Jewish children with two Jewish parents.
Fortunately for both, their families accepted the decision and they soon tied the knot in 2003. Despite their love and being together for more than a decade, they decided to part ways in 2012.
Mayim Bialik and Michael Stone have two kids together
Mayim Bialik and Michael Stone were married for over nine years and share two kids. The Big Bang Theory star is mom to Miles and Frederick Bialik Stone. Back in 2021, the actress revealed how her two sons found her pretty interesting after she released her graphic novel anthology, Flash Facts, which combined her two favorite things, science and superheroes (via PEOPLE).
They think it’s very amazing and cool that their mom’s little tiny picture is on it. Normally, they think I’m really lame. So, this was one of the times when I actually got a load of, ‘Hey, that’s pretty cool, Mom.’
Bialik is a very hands-on parent and has always homeschooled her sons. While talking to PEOPLE, the actress also revealed she never had a nanny or a housekeeper and has been teaching her kids that ‘lower expectations‘ are the motto of their family for she does not want to overburden them with a false concept of ‘perfection.’
All about Mayim Bialik’s elder son, Miles Bialik Stone
Born on October 11, 2005, Mayim Bialik’s older son Miles Bialik Stone, 19, has always had an outgoing personality. Having raised her boys on her own without seeking the help of caregivers or a nanny, the actress prefers to spend a lot of time with her kids.
Back in 2015, the actress revealed to PEOPLE, that her elder son is a 10-year-old swagger who loved to wear leather jackets with sweatpants around the house. She also revealed that he was very into music around that time and had been learning how to play classical music on the piano.
He’s been playing classical music so he learned ‘Moonlight Sonata’ and he just wants to play it all the time. Then I taught him ‘Let It Be’ this weekend, and I sing and he accompanies me. It’s really, really funny.
Then in 2021, during the pandemic, the actress revealed Miles was very social and was pretty frustrated and bored during the lockdown. But they enjoyed bonding over discussions and the happenings in the world, especially related to politics (via PEOPLE). While guest-hosting Jeopardy, Bialik also thanked Miles for suggesting and pushing her to take up the gig (via X).
Mayim Bialik’s younger son, Frederick Bialik Stone
The Big Bang Theory star’s youngest son Frederick Heschel Bialik Stone, 16, was born on August 15, 2008. Named after Mayim Bialik’s grandfather, Rabbi Abraham Heschel, he is often described by the actress as an introvert who loves spending time on his own.
Back in 2015, the actress revealed to PEOPLE how easy and fast her youngest son’s birth was and she only had to use hypnosis for the pain.
He was born after a remarkably fast and beautiful natural one-and-a-half hour labor at our home, assisted only for the final pushing stage of labor! Our 3-year-old, Miles, watched the whole thing from his highchair while eating granola!
Despite being a household icon, the actress has managed to keep her sons away from the spotlight. A follower of attachment parenting (via HealthLand.Time), she raised some eyebrows when she revealed she was still nursing when he was a 3-year-old.
Is Mayim Bialik dating anyone now?
Still on good terms with her ex-husband Michael Stone, Mayim Bialik has moved on and has been in a relationship with Jonathan Cohen for quite some time now. The couple met over 10 years ago, and have since connected over their common passions and interests in mental health (via PEOPLE).
In January 2021, the couple launched their own podcast called Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, which is co-hosted and executive producer by Cohen. Despite being in a relationship for so long, the couple does not share much about their romance and have kept things private and hidden from the public and media eyes. Yet, they enjoy co-hosting their podcast, where Cohen brings the ‘writer’ part and Bialik contributes the ‘science’ part.
A writer, poet, producer, and more, Cohen also has a son from a previous relationship. Back in 2018, he relocated to California from Toronto to be closer to his son (via Instagram). Often sharing details about their relationship on their podcast, the adorable couple’s chemistry truly shines through, showcasing the deep bond they share and providing listeners with heartwarming insights into their daily lives.
