Bill Rancic Gushes He “Knew Right Away” That He Would Marry Wife Giuliana Rancic (EXCLUSIVE)
It’s always inspiring to see how happy Bill Rancic and his wife, Giuliana Rancic, are together — and in an exclusive new interview with Closer Weekly, The Apprentice alum opened up about the exact moment he realized he would marry her.
“We met later in life. I was in my mid-30s. Our first date was when I just turned 35, which is a little bit later. It didn’t take a long time,” he said at Hyatt House’s #WhySettle event in NYC on Thursday, April 19.
“I think we were engaged after 11 months. We got engaged pretty quickly. I knew right away. She met my family early on. That doesn’t happen. I don’t bring people around my mom and my sisters, but it was very quick and I think it was the same on her end. I think we knew right away,” Bill continued. The couple wed in 2007 and are parents to a five-year-old son, Duke Rancic.
During a previous interview with Closer, Bill opened up about how he and Giuliana maintain a healthy work-life balance. “I think we have one rule, and that’s family first. We don’t compromise [that] and don’t break the rule,” he shared in January. “Family always comes first, and I always say kids still love T-I-M-E. That’s what we really believe and Duke gets a lot of our time, we spend a lot with him and that’s certainly priority number one.”
Giuliana agreed, adding, “Bill and I decided to do something new this year and do a family resolution, so we created a resolution where every week, we’re carving out one night where we don’t just have dinner, but we also make it more special where we pick a recipe we’ve never tried before and cook a meal we’ve never cooked before. Then we have a game night with Bill, myself, my son — where we introduce him to new games.” These two are definitely nailing the whole marriage and parenting thing!
