Adrienne Armstrong (born Adrienne Nesser, October 6, 1969) is the wife of Green Day frontman Billie
Joe Armstrong and co-owner of Adeline Records.
Adrienne was born October 6, 1969. She met Billie Joe at a Green Day concert on their first tour
in 1990, after she asked the singer where she could get a copy of Green Day's album. The two began communicating over the
phone constantly. The first kiss between the two would result in an early Green Day classic, 2000 Lightyears Away.
After arranging Green Day tours based in Minnesota merely for the purpose of seeing Adrienne, Billie Joe asked
her to come out to California. She obliged, but the relationship ended after the move. Billie Joe began seeing a girl that
would later inspire the Green Day hit She, and Adrienne became engaged to another man, which would crumble before the two
could walk down the altar.
The two rekindled their relationship during the heat of Billie Joe's success with the album Dookie, and quickly
picked up where they left off. He then proposed to her and they wed two weeks later on July 2, 1994. The ceremony only lasted
5 minutes, held in a backyard with many different religions being represented. The next day, she found out she was pregnant.
Joseph Marciano Armstrong was born in March 15, 1995. Three years later on September 12th 1998 Jakob Danger was added to the
family.
The couple would become prone to arguments during the recording of Green Day albums, a trend that would continue
all the way up to the band's newest release, American Idiot. Songs like Redundant and Church On Sunday would chronicle
the struggles the couple faced and would eventually overcome. Although not hinted at in the album, the biggest troubles would
occur during the making of American Idiot, which Adrienne claimed in the VH1 documentary "Driven", "took our relationship
farther than I would've liked."
With the couple's problems now worked out, Adrienne can often be seen with Billie Joe backstage at Green Day
shows, as well as working on the couple's Adeline Records and Adeline Street clothing line and, most importantly,
caring for the couple's children. Most recently, Billie Joe has started teaching his oldest son Joey how to play the guitar.
