Shoshanna Lonstein (born May 29, 1975) is a U.S. fashion designer and ex-girlfriend of comedian Jerry Seinfeld. Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss Lonstein attended the Nightingale-Bamford School in New York City, graduating in 1993. While still an 18-year-old high school student, she came to public attention dating Seinfeld, who was still starring in his popular eponymous sitcom. She started college at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., but in 1994 transferred to the University of California Los Angeles to be closer to Seinfeld. She graduated with a degree in art history in 1997 and their relationship ended in that same year. With a loan from her father, the chairman of a computer company called Infocrossing, she started her own clothing company, which she called Shoshanna. The company's mission is to create beautiful clothes (especially undergarments like bikinis) that can be worn by women who, like Lonstein herself, are rather top-heavy. The company was successful, with over a million dollars in sales per year through stores like Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue. She is also a contributing editor for Cosmopolitan magazine. Since May 10, 2003 she has been married to investment analyst Joshua Gruss and they have one child, a girl.
