The couple shares a child, a daughter named Chiara Santo Pietro who was born in 2007. Since George hasn't made many headlines recently, his personal life has remained under the radar.

December 2010 was the last time George made any significant news headlines. It was the year when he sold his mansion in Beverly Hill. He had earlier built it on spec in 2007.

The mansion was valued at $50 million initially but was sold for $23.5 million. George is known to be a real estate developer these days. Meanwhile, George's spouse Melissa is a TV producer who has produced eight TV series in her career.

George Santo Pietro's Past Affairs

George Santo Pietro bumped into Vanna White in 1989. The couple fell in love and subsequently tied the knot on 31st December 1990. It was at this point the restaurant owner's fame astronomically rose thanks to his famous wife.

After two years of their blissful marriage, White became pregnant in 1992. The news of the pregnancy was later announced in an episode of her show Wheel of Fortune. Unfortunately, the TV personality had a miscarriage just after the episode got taped.

In 1995, better news embraced the pair as Vanna gave birth to their first child, a son named Nicholas Santo Pietro. The couple welcomed their second child, a daughter named Gigi Santo Pietro in 1997.

Despite lots of cherishable memories in a relationship that went over a decade, the pair parted ways in November 2002.

George's former wife is a well-known television personality best known for hosting the show Wheels of Fortune. Pietro got married to White after her fiance James Gibson tragically passed away in a plane crash in 1986.
