Bugliari was born on December 17, 1980, in New Jersey. The outlet also reports that Bugliari is friends with Bradley Cooper.

Before Bugliari, Milano was briefly married to Cinjun Tate, from the rock band Remy Zero, in 1999. According to E!, Milano, who was 26 at the time of their separation, cited irreconcilable differences in the divorce. The pair was married from January 1999 to November that same year.

Luckily, it seems Milano and Bugliari are going strong. In 2015, she told E! divorce is “not an option” for her and her beau.

“[Marriage is] work, and there’s no one I’d rather put in the work with,” she said. “The most important thing is to laugh. If you can laugh with someone, you can get through anything.”

The couple spent some time in the spotlight this fall after a feud with actress Rose McGowan. Over the summer, McGowan, who accused Weinstein of rape, said that she thought Milano’s activism in the #MeToo movement was a lie. She then linked that statement to Bugliari’s job at CAA. , “Do you think I don’t know these people? Do the math… Who’s behind Time’s Up? CAA. Where do they meet? CAA? Who needs good PR? CAA. Who are part of the pimp problem? CAA.”

Milano and McGowan spent five years together costarring onCharmedfrom 2001 to 2006.

In response to McGowan’s statement, Milano said, “I am and always have been completely supportive of Rose and admire her bravery and speaking out about her experiences… My goal throughout the past few months with both #MeToo and the TimesUp movement has been to use my platform to give others a voice so we can all work together to stamp out sexual harassment and sexual assault.”

There is limited information on Bugliari, and Milano is sure to keep information on their children under wraps, too. But can fans expect their family of four to grow? Most likely, no. Speaking to People, Milano shared that she “thinks” she’s done when it comes to having more children. “I want another one, but I’m 42 so it’s like, why push my luck? Iand I had them both later in my life,” she said.On the weekdays, the family of four likes to live it up. Milano says that she and Bugliari have dance parties “almost every night” with both their children.

This season, Milano will hostProject Runway All Stars,which premieres on January 2. Be sure to tune in.
