Geraldo Rivera has been married five times. His love life has been just as intriguing as his opinions on political affairs. Let’s meet his current partner and ex-wives.
Journalist and former talk show host Geraldo Rivera has been on television screens in some capacity for over five decades. He gained his fame as an investigative reporter in the ‘80s and continued his work on networks like CNBC and, more recently, Fox News.
In June 2023, Geraldo announced he stepped down from his tenure at Fox News after being fired from Fox’s The Five. While the pivotal move shocked his loyal audience, the Brooklyn, N.Y. native is no stranger to starting over — personally or professionally.
During his lifetime, Geraldo has been married to five different women. However, he seems to have finally met his forever match in his current wife — Erica Michelle Levy.
Let’s meet Geraldo’s wife and dive into the media personality’s past relationships.
Geraldo Rivera’s much-younger wife worked for him before they were married.
Geraldo and his wife, Erica, have been married since 2003. The couple met two years prior when Erica was one of his producers on his CNBC show, Rivera Live (via The Sun). At the time, she was 26, and Geraldo was 58.
Nonetheless, the pair began dating while working together and were eventually husband and wife. In 2005, Geraldo and Erica welcomed their daughter — Solita Liliana Rivera. Solita is the couple’s only child, although Geraldo has several other children from his previous marriages. But more on that later.
Erica was born and raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio, and comes from a family of television producers. Her father, Howard Levy, was a renowned producer for NBCUniversal before he died of prostate cancer in 2007.
It’s unclear if Erica is still producing, but her Instagram account shows she works alongside her famous hubby. Geraldo and Erica once worked on his radio show together, Geraldo in Cleveland, which lasted from 2018 until 2022.
