Paula’s Married Life with Dan Bongino

Paula Bongino and the Fox News correspondent Dan have been married for nearly 18 years. Paula and Dan got married on August 30, 2003. The pair exchanged their vows in a privately organized wedding attended by their friends and family.

Dan has time and again expressed his gratitude to his wife Paula on his socials. Besides, he also shares numerous photos of the husband and wife on Instagram. In fact, he never misses wishing on her birthday or their anniversary which shows the affection they have for one another.

How Did They Meet and how their Romance Blossomed?

Paula and Dan met for the first time in the early 2000s and they hit it off soon. If the sources are to be believed, they met on a blind date at Sullivan’s restaurant in New York City.

Coincidentally enough, their first meeting was sheer two weeks before the infamous 9/11 attack at the World Trade Center. Bongino recalled the moment after the attack,

“I kept calling her at her office over and over. Paula literally worked at Ground Zero at the Securities INdustry Association. So I was worried, really panicked.”

However, Paula, his future wife at the time, was thousands of miles away in Nevada. She was there to meet her mother. They lost contact for a while and then ultimately reunited.

A couple of years later, Bongino took Paula to the same restaurant where they had met for the first time for dinner. There, he got down to one knee and asked his then-girlfriend to be his wife. “I said ‘yes’ and was very emotional,” Paula said reminiscing about the moment.

She added,

“Even though I could tell when he picked me up from the train station that day something was up. He was a Secret Service agent, but I could always read him like a book.”

Dan didn’t have to do any hard work to melt his future wife’s heart, however, it was difficult for him to win his future mother-in-law’s approval. Bongino said his mother-in-law didn’t like him the first time she met him. However, Dan later said that eventually, she started liking him.
