Maria Menounos
Maria Menounos rose to fame as an Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood correspondent in the early 2000s. Her acting credits include recurring roles on Without a Trace and One Tree Hill. As an Emmy-winning journalist, Menounos has also reported for Channel One News, Extra and E! News, interviewing hundreds of famous figures, including George W. Bush and the Obama family.
Menounos competed on the 14th season of Dancing With the Stars in 2012, finishing in fourth place with her pro partner, Derek Hough. Menounos starred on Oxygen’s reality series Chasing Maria Menounos in 2014, and she hosts several reality competition shows and radio shows, including SiriusXM’s Conversations With Maria. She is a longtime World Wrestling Entertainment fan and has made several appearances with WWE throughout her career.
In 2017, Menounos revealed that she had a benign brain tumor removed. She was diagnosed with stage II pancreatic cancer in 2023, which she treated with surgery.
After more than 15 years of dating, Menounos married Keven Undergaro during the 2017 New Year’s celebrations in Times Square, and the couple held a Greek Orthodox wedding the following year. Menounos and Undergaro welcomed daughter Athena in July 2023 via surrogate.
