Family & Personal Life

Cristina Greeven Cuomo is married to the CNN News anchor Christopher Cuomo. Her husband currently presents 'Cuomo Prime Time' on CNN, but he earlier used to host ‘Good Morning America’ and '20/20' for ABC News.

Cristina and Christopher first met each other in 1998 at a party, and they began to date soon afterwards. After courting of some years, the couple decided to tie the knot. They got married on 24 November 2001 in a Catholic ceremony at the 'Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary Catholic Church’, Southampton.

The couple is blessed with two daughters, Bella and Carolina Regina; and a son, Mario. The family lives in the Upper West Side of New York.

While Cristina is a media personality and the wife of a celebrity, she has a sizable social media presence thanks to her sophisticated and impeccable dressing sense. Her favourite shopping spots are 'Haute Hippie' in Southampton, J. Crew and 25 Park in Bridgehampton.

The sources claimed that the couple's marital life had taken a tumultuous turn because of Christopher's sexual orientation. However, the duo revealed that they were not contemplating to split up, and the rumour was baseless.
