From Blind Date to Marriage
Us Weekly has reached out to Steve Guttenberg for comment regarding the divorce. The ‘Police Academy’ star and Emily, a news anchor, first connected on a blind date in 2014, orchestrated by WCBS-TV correspondent Scott Rapoport. They announced their engagement in December 2016, shortly after celebrating Christmas together. Emily enthusiastically confirmed the engagement on Facebook, writing, “Yes, yes, yes.”
In a 2017 interview with the Daily Beast, Steve Guttenberg spoke fondly of Emily, stating, “I hope I’m not jinxing it, but she enhances me as a person, which is something I truly appreciate. She inspires me to be better. She is a very refined woman. Emily cultivates a wonderful home environment, her principles are exceptional, and her character, integrity, and sense of humor are admirable… she is truly a remarkable woman.”
Malibu Wedding and Previous Marriage
Us Weekly later confirmed their marriage in January 2019, which took place in Malibu, California. Their mutual friend, Scott Rapoport, shared the news on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), posting a photo of Emily in a white wedding dress with the caption, “Here Comes The Bride #SweetStunningEm.”
Prior to his marriage with Emily, Steve Guttenberg was married to model Denise Bixler from 1988 to 1992.
