Through thick and thin! Maria Menounos and her husband, Kevin Undergarohave stood by each other’s side no matter what obstacles they encountered.
The pair met in the late ’90s while working on the set of a small movie in Boston. At the time, Menounos was a local college student, but the Hollywood writer knew he had found the love of his life.
“When I first met Maria, I had never met anyone like her,” Undergaro recalls Yahoo lifestyle in December 2018. “When we said goodbye it was very emotional, even though we had only known each other for a few days. We both wanted to cry, and we didn’t know why.”
The couple did not part ways as long as they started dating and eventually moved in together – despite Menounos’ father initially not approving of their relationship.
“[Keven and I] both had family dramas. We definitely clung to each other and grew closer,” the Hunting for Maria Menounos alum laid out at the outlet. “I think we realized very quickly that we had each other’s backs.”
After dating for nearly two decades, the After Buzz TV creator got down on one knee as he and the anchor hit the Howard Stern show March 2016.
“This show has meant so much to both of us,” Undergaro said as he got down on one knee. “This is the first thing we listened to together, 19 years in that basement on a single mattress and I said, ‘One day you’re going to be on that show and you’re going to be a star.’ And here you are, and here we are Why don’t you make it official now?”
After the sentimental proposal, the two tied the knot on New Year’s Eve in 2017 live on TV just before the ball dropped in Times Square. Menounos’ parents attended the special ceremony. Undergaro and the Kicking Old Skool star later had a second wedding ceremony in Greece, which her father helped plan, in October 2018.
“It’s going to be a wild journey,” Menounos said exclusively Us weekly for her marriage. “Trying to plan something international with your dad running the show is a reality show.”
Throughout their relationship, the A tree hill alum has been candid about her fertility struggles. In February 2023, Menounos revealed that she and her husband are expecting their first child through a surrogate mother.
