Musician whose band had some of the biggest ’80s hits is seen out with her famous director husband… can you guess who?

She is the founding member of one of the biggest bands of the 1980s.

After her iconic band split in the late  1980s, she went on to have a solo music career but did not ever reach the success she did with her group. 

Not only is she a talented singer and guitarist but she also is an actress and an author.

In more recent years, she has become a bit of an influencer as she boasts nearly 1 million followers.

Now, she has been seen with her famous director husband who has helmed some of the most iconic comedies of the last three decades.

Can you guess who the musician is? 

 It is Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles fame!

The 66-year-old Walk Like An Egyptian hitmaker looked youthful on a rare outing with director husband Jay Roach, 68, in Los Angeles.

Susanna founded the band with Debbi Peterson and Vicki Peterson in 1981 as they had chart-topping singles including Manic Monday, Walk Like An Egyptian, In Your Room, and Eternal Flame.

On her latest outing, she donned a black puffer jacket with matching sweatpants and sneakers as she showcased her evergreen looks by going make-up free.

Her husband Jay donned a black sweater over striped button-down with indigo washed jeans and black On sneakers.

He directed several classic comedies including 1997’s Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, 1999’s Austin Power: The Spy Who Shagged me, 2000’s Meet The Parents, and 2004’s Meet The Fockers.

More recently he directed 2019’s Bombshell and The Roses which came out last year.

His musician wife has been keeping busy on Instagram as she has garnered quite a following for her graceful aging and refreshingly makeup-free videos she shares on the platform.

Susanna still continues to tour with The Bangles after they reunited in the late nineties.

The band recorded their last album Sweetheart of the Sun in 2011.

Despite enjoying much success, the four-piece split in 1990 but later reunited for 1999’s Austin Power’s flick, recording Get The Girl for the motion picture.

Following from the release, they enjoyed a tour in the early 2000’s and recorded a new album Doll Revolution, which inevitability saw bandmate Michael Steele leave the group once and for all.

The band scored several hit singles with Maniac Monday and Walk Like An Egyptian throughout the decades.

Yet Susanna recently revealed that arguably one of their most famous songs,  Eternal Flame was nearly never released after the other Bangles member’s rejected the song.

The American singer-songwriter explained that her bandmates Vicki Peterson and her sister Debbi and Micki Steele didn’t want it included on the third album.

She told The Mirror: ‘The band rejected that song, and I was bereft over it, I was like mortified. 

‘I had taken the cassette of Eternal Flame everywhere with me, asking people if I could show them the new song I’d just written.’

She continued: ‘I was really excited about it, but then we had this band meeting about our third album, Everything, and it was rejected. 

‘There were four members of the band and everybody got three songs on the album, it was very conscripted, almost anxiety inducing.

‘Then halfway through the making of album, our last record in the 80s, the producer said, “You know what, Sue? I think Eternal Flame should be on the record”. 

‘And I’m like, “Yes! Please, please'”.

Susanna and Jay married in 1993 and they have two sons together born in 1995 and 1998.
