Husband – Joe Rogan
Joe is of Irish and Italian descent. He grew up in New Jersey, and had a troubled childhood as his father was abusive. He moved around, living in places such as San Francisco, California, and Gainesville, Florida, before settling in Newton Upper Falls Massachusetts. He attended Newton South High School, and after matriculating, enrolled at the University of Massachusetts, Boston but didn’t like college studies, resulting in him dropping out.

He competed in a few tournaments, leading to him becoming the state champion. His first job was as a taekwondo instructor, and he considered a career in kickboxing, but then went in a completely different direction, when thanks to his parents, he discovered stand-up comedy.
In 1988, he had his first performance in a Boston comedy club, but since stand-up was a difficult job to break into, he continued his martial arts teaching work, while also doing other odd jobs. He started gaining a few gigs, but in 1994 decided to move to Los Angeles.
Joe Rogan’s Success
After work with MTV, Rogan signed a development contract with Disney, leading to a bit of acting work in projects such as “Hardball” and “NewsRadio”, in which he had the starring role as electrician Joe Garrelli.
He eventually left acting work, as he did not enjoy playing a single character every week. He rekindled his interest in martial arts after watching a UFC fight, leading him to begin working with the promotion as an interviewer.
He started leading Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while working, becoming a black belt after years of training. He continued working on both UFC and his comedy, releasing his first comedy special in 2000.
