After the show’s most successful season ever — wedding drama can do that — Gene Simmons Family Jewelsreturns for its seventh season on Monday, May 28 with a special one-hour premiere. The long-running A&E reality show, about the KISS frontman’s family, is not settling into marital bliss — after all, he and newlywed Shannon Tweed have two kids from their 28 years together as a couple.
