When queried about whether she divulged their relationship to her colleagues, Melissa Fumero responded, “No way! I made it clear that we couldn’t let this spill over into the workplace.” “You’re practically living out a soap opera while being on a soap opera,” quipped Bush Hager.
Prior to meeting David Fumero, the actor from “Grosse Pointe Garden Society,” Melissa Fumero confessed that her husband was, in fact, her childhood crush—although she only made this discovery much later. “I was absolutely smitten with the handsome man at the end of Mariah Carey’s 1997 hit music video ‘Honey,’” she revealed. “I was so infatuated that it frustrated me whenever MTV cut the video short.”
The revelation regarding his appearance in the music video occurred during their courtship, leading to a surprising realization for Melissa Fumero. Melissa Gallo and David Fumero tied the knot on November 15, 2006.
“It suddenly came up in conversation, ‘Oh, that Mariah Carey video I was in,’” he casually mentioned, prompting her to inquire, “Wait, are you the guy from the end of the ‘Honey’ video?” “I can’t believe it! You practically willed this into your life,” Guthrie exclaimed.
The actress described the alignment of events as “unbelievable,” recognizing that she had to “seize the moment. We are destined to be together.” Celebrating over two decades of companionship, the couple, who were former soap opera luminaries, now have two children: Enzo, aged 8, and Axel, aged 5.
