Mike Rowe has never been married before and so does not have a wife. He has been involved with different women in the past and is reportedly in a long-term relationship with a yet-to-be-identified woman.
Mike Rowe is an American television host and narrator widely known for his work on the Discovery Channel series, Dirty Jobs, Six Degrees, and the series Somebody’s Gotta Do It. He is also notable for his narrations and for a Facebook series, Returning the Favor. Despite his flourishing TV career, which is an open book, Mike Rowe is yet to make exact revelation regarding his love and relationship life. However, there’s more to know in that regard. Read to find out.
Is Mike Rowe Married?
Given his celebrity status, many people, especially his fans, have been curious to know about his romantic life and, therefore, always come up with the question of who his wife or girlfriend is. Mike Rowe has, since his rise to fame, been involved with a couple of women, but despite that, he has never married any of them.
Again, the reason for these questions is quite relatable, considering the actor’s age. Mike Rowe was born on the 18th of March 1962 and is currently 62 years old. Consequently, many people think of him as a married man with kids, and those that eventually get to know that he is not married want to figure out the reason.
Well, the reason would arguably not be any other thing other than the fact that he’s not yet found someone he feels comfortable spending the rest of his life with. Meanwhile, some people erroneously believe that Mike Rowe is married to Mary Beth Roe, the QVC host, but this is not so. Despite the similar-sounding surnames, Mike Rowe and Mary Beth Roe are not married to each other.
Who is Mike Rowe Dating Now?
During an interview he granted with Kara Mayer Robinson in January 2021, Mike Rowe revealed that he is in a serious relationship but did not reveal the identity of the woman. As we mentioned earlier, the TV host likes to keep his personal life away from the media, but his fans can’t wait to see him showcase his woman and eventually get married.
He, however, hinted that his girlfriend is independent and that from the outset, they mutually agree to keep their relationship away from the public eye. Also, in the interview, Mike opened up about his previous relationships, including one where he was cheated on, and clarified he never regretted it. But, when the woman approached him and confessed, he forgave her and moved on with his life.
Although the revelation made him break down after he got home that day, he gained back his courage as he knew the romance wouldn’t last for long. Meanwhile, explaining the kind of woman he would want to be with, Rowe stated that any woman who knows how to take care of herself more than her spouse impresses him.
Mike Rowe’s lack of openness about his love life also gave rise to the rumor about his sexuality, where many people speculated that he is gay. But there is arguably no truth in the speculation as he has previously been in two known relationships. However, Mike seems to be unbothered about the rumor as he has never debunked or accepted it, but the fact is that there is no existing evidence that suggests he is gay.
Who are The Women Mike Rowe Has Dated in the Past?
Among all the women Mike has been linked to or reported to have dated, only two are known to the public. The Dirty Jobs host was rumored to be dating Danielle Burgio, an American actress best known for her roles in Army of the Dead, Fear The Walking Dead, Wisdom of the Crowd, and Walk the Prank. Danielle transitioned from a Broadway dancer to a Hollywood stuntwoman and is now a successful actress and producer.
There is no clear record of when Rowe and Danielle Burgio started dating and when they broke up. Moreover, neither of the two ever confirmed whether they were actually in a relationship or not. However, what we know is that Danielle Burgio is currently happily married to her husband, Robert Merrill.
After his rumored date with Danielle, Mike Rowe got romantically linked to Sandy Dotson, a sales, customer service, business manager, and executive at a data management company. The rumors of their dating swirled when they were spotted spending some time together on vacation. Sandy and Mike, however, kept their affair under wraps until rumors equally made rounds that they had broken up.
As such, there is no evidence to show that they had a thing together. Meanwhile, Rowe in 2019 divulged that he was in a relationship with a lady in San Fransico at that time. So we guess that because Sandy also resides in San Francisco, his fans concluded she was the one. Although Mike didn’t confirm the rumor to date, they are no longer together
Mike Rowe Has No Children
From all his involvement with women, both the rumored and real relationship, Mike Rowe has no children. The TV host once stated in an interview that has no regrets for not having kids. In 2006, a Reddit user asked him why he decided not to have kids, Mike said that he has nothing against children but also went on to explain his reason for not having one.
According to the narrator, his particular reason for not having children is that he is selfish, and even if he changes his mind to later have, his reasoning will still remain the same. Mike made these comments almost two decades ago, and to date, it doesn’t seem like his mind is changed yet about having children. Regardless, it is still not late, as we believe he might redecide in this regard.
Meanwhile, Mike once revealed that he was almost close to having children when he was in a serious relationship with his former partner some years ago. They wanted to have at least three kids, but it didn’t later work as his partner wanted to have children before becoming his wife, and that, he said, did not sit well with him.
Rowe cited his parents, John Rowe and Penny Rowe, as good examples of peaceful and happy marriages. According to him, they have an adorable decades-long marriage because they value each other before and more than their children. But his own partner had a different perspective, so they had to split and go their separate ways.
