As Cuomo's national stature grew more and more, the question, of course, became, "Wait, what about his personal life? Well, there's an answer: the short answer is that Cuomo was once married and had a long-term partner for many years, but is currently (as far as we know) not dating anyone. But let's dive into all the details together, shall we?

Cuomo's marriage to Kelly Kennedy (open in new tab) lasted 15 years, from 1990 to 2005, and the press dubbed the couple the "Cuomolotto." It was apparently an intense relationship: both came from prominent political families, Cuomo focused on his political aspirations and stressed Kennedy, and they had three children together: Mariah, Kara, and Mikaela. Kennedy and Cuomo have apparently maintained an amicable relationship since their divorce.

Chef and author Sandra Lee (open in new tab) dated Cuomo for 14 years and was unofficially known as his "first girlfriend" in New York.

She added, "Neither of us, as far as I know, are dating." (I mean, given how busy they both are, it might be tough right now anyway.) She is also close with his children: "We share a home, we share children, we share friendship. I will protect him and be there for him until the day I die."
