Julia Louis-Dreyfus or Elaine Benes
Jerry Seinfeld dated a total of 66 women on screen in Seinfield and Julia Louis Dreyfus, a.k.a Elaine Benes, certainly happens to be the most memorable of them all. Elaine and Jerry were romantically involved before the show started and thus, their chemistry on-screen was great. Though the two were not together on the show initially, NBC executives requested Larry David to write an episode where the two come together. Consequentially, David wrote ‘The Deal’ in which Elaine and Jerry enter into a kind of friends-with-benefits scenario after watching soft porn on television.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus was a popular SNL member and has come a long way since her Seinfeld days. Today, she has 11 Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe, 5 American Comedy Awards and 9 Screen Actors Guild Awards to her credit. Julia and Jerry may have dated in real life but she married fellow SNL comedian Brad Hall in 1987 and the couple has two sons together.
Janeane Garofalo or Jeanie Steinman
Jeanie Steinman, played by Janeane Garofalo, appeared in the final episode titled The Invitation of the seventh season of Seinfeld. In the episode, she basically plays the female version of Jerry Seinfeld. The two meet and Jerry realizes they are a perfect match for they have so many similarities. Jerry proposes to Jeanie but soon realizes what a terrible mistake marrying her would be. The two break up after blurting out ‘I hate you’ at the same time.

Amanda Peet or Lanette

Elaine later runs into Sidra at a sauna and ends up falling on top of her only to realize that her breasts are real. After Elaine shares this information with Jerry, he immediately takes Sidra back into his life. When Sidra later sees Elaine at Jerry’s apartment, she presumes that Jerry had sent her to check if Sidra’s breasts are indeed real.

People know her best as Susan Mayer from Desperate Housewives and as Paris Carver from the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. The actress’ net worth is worth $50 million today.
Christine Taylor or Ellen
Through the show, Jerry used the weirdest of excuses to break up with his girlfriends. His reason to break up with Ellen, played by Christine Taylor, was certainly very weird. Jerry broke up with her because he couldn’t find anything wrong with her. Further, Jerry’s parents loved Ellen, which further drove Jerry away from Ellen. Christine Taylor, who played Ellen, is an established actress who played the role of Marcia Brady in The Brady Bunch Movie. She met actor Ben Stiller while shooting the TV show Heat Vision and Jack. The couple got married in 2000 and starred together in films like Zoolander and DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story. The couple separated in 2017, after 17 years of marriage. Christine will next be in comedy film Friendsgiving.
Jami Gertz or Jane
Jami Gertz guest-starred in Seinfeld’s season 5 episode titled The Stall and gave us one of the most famous interactions on the show. We bet you remember the line ‘can you spare a square?’ Funnily, it is Kramer’s addiction to phone sex that eventually reveals Jane’s true occupation in the episode. The episode was incredibly funny and Jami portrayed the character very well; which is not very surprising given that Jami is an established actress with films like The Lost Boys, Quicksilver and Crossroads under her kitty.
Jami may have played a mean character on the show. But in real life, she won American billionaire Antony Ressler, the co-founder of the private equity firms Apollo Global Management and Ares Management, with her sweet nature and the couple got married in 1989. The couple has three children. Jami doesn’t act much anymore but when your net worth is $3 billion, who needs an acting job!
