Bethany with her husband Michael Galeotti.Michael Galeotti Dead is A Hoax
There are conflicting reports on whether Michael Galeotti is still alive or dead. The rumors first surfaced following the death of a Disney child star, who happened to have the same name as Bethany’s ex-hubby, Michael James Galeota in early Jan 2016. As per People, the late Disney star James Galeota died of atherosclerosis heart disease.
The actor and Bethany’s husband Michael’s name were quite similar to one another. While the actor’s surname was Galeota, the musician’s surname is Galeotti, which looks similar if not paid attention. This is why numerous uncredible sources have written that Michael is dead.
However, the claim is far from the truth. In fact, Galeotti is still alive but prefers life out of the public glare.
