Steve Guttenberg and estranged wife Emily Guttenberg’s romance began with a blind date.
The pair were set up by Emily’s colleague at WCBS-TV, Scott Rapoport, in 2014. After attempting to arrange the outing for a couple months, Steve and Emily finally met up and clicked instantly.
“I don’t want to give these things a jinx, but she makes me a better person, which I really like. I have to up my game around her,” the Three Men and a Baby actor gushed about his partner during a 2017 interview with the Daily Beast. “She’s a very classy lady. She creates a wonderful home, her value system is terrific, and her character and integrity, and sense of humor … she’s a really nice lady.”
Five years after their blind date, Steve and Emily tied the knot. (Before his nuptials to Emily, the Police Academy star was previously married to model Denise Bixler from 1988 to 1992.)
In April 2025, Us Weekly confirmed that Steve filed for divorce from Emily after six years of marriage. Their split was finalized in May 2026.
