Wendy Lang Is Cenk Uygur's Asian-American Wife & a Therapist with a Heart for Gifted Children

Wendy Lang, married to media host and aspiring U.S. president Cenk Uygur, is a skilled marriage and family therapist. Keeping a low profile, she quietly works to help her patients, especially gifted children, thrive.

In contrast to Cenk Uygur's outspoken political commentary and love for the limelight, Wendy Lang opts for a more private life. Nevertheless, she has made a difference in many lives through her profession.

While she tends to stay out of the public eye, her husband has shared occasional glimpses of her on social media.

Wendy Lang's Rare Public Appearances

Lang maintains a private profile, with a presence limited to Facebook, LinkedIn, and a dedicated professional website. Her husband, Cenk Uygur, keeps their family life mostly private, with rare posts about Lang online.

A prominent figure in the world of media and politics, Lang's spouse is a Turkish-American media host known for the show "The Young Turks (TYT)." He also aspires to become a Democratic candidate for the next U.S. presidential election.

Despite the couple's privacy, Lang's husband sometimes shares glimpses of their life on social media. In 2013, he shared a picture of his wife at a wedding event on Twitter with the remark:

"My lovely wife at her cousin's wedding."

Lang's husband posted a Facebook video of them in 2016, having breakfast. He also shared a 2015 picture of them with basketball player Shaquille O'Neal and a 2017 snapshot on the red carpet at the Streamy Awards.

Wendy Lang's Passion for Helping Gifted Children

Lang, who hails from Taiwan, is a licensed marriage and family therapist. In 2004, she earned a master's degree in marriage and family therapy from the University of Southern California.

She founded the Beverly Hills Child and Family Counseling and served as its director. She has operated her clinic since November 2010. She also finds purpose in serving children and young adults who are "gifted" and "twice-exceptional."

In fact, Lang has spent a lot of time studying and researching so that she can support them better. Aside from providing therapy, Lang also shares her time and resources with the non-profit organization Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG).

She became a certified model parent group facilitator. Before establishing her own counseling practice, Lang worked as a mental health therapist in California, for 13 years.

For five years, she served as a social worker for children in Los Angeles. Not only does she take pride in her profession, Lang also fully embraces her Asian roots. She is fluent in English and Mandarin.

What Is Known about Wendy Lang's Marriage

In a June 2008 interview in "TYT,'' Uygur confirmed he was married. While he didn't delve into the specifics of his marriage to Lang, he openly shared details about his marriage proposal to her.

The media personality revealed in a 2017 interview with "TYT" that he intended to propose to Lang in the Chinese garden at the Huntington Library in California.

However, the lack of flowers presented a challenge. After overcoming a few hiccups, they found the perfect spot under a tree, and he went on to ask for her hand in marriage.

Since then, the pair have been blessed with two children: a son named Prometheus Maximus and a daughter named Joy. The couple remains relatively private about their family.
