13 Tips To Get Fit After 50
IMPRACTICAL Jokers’ Sal Vulcano revealed he has secretly gotten married and welcomed his first child.
The 47-year-old television star is believed to have wed his long-term girlfriend, Francesca Muffaletto, and welcomed a daughter around September 2022.
Sal appeared on Theo Von’s podcast, This Past Weekend, and discussed his upcoming solo comedy special called Terrified.
Theo candidly brought up the topic of building a family, when Sal dropped the unexpected information that he now has a child.
“I’ve never really said it,” Sal explained while stuttering.
Theo reassured him that he didn’t need to discuss his private life if he did not feel ready.
He then asked the Impractical Jokers star whether he thought being a father was scary.
“In my regular life, no,” Sal responded.
“You know I have my wife, my kid, that’s real life. But why do people who see me for 22 minutes on TV every week need to know that?” he asked.
Sal took a second and appeared to get emotional before sighing.
“It’s the best thing that ever happened to me. If I start talking about her, I’ll get tears in my eyes,” he said.
“I love her so much I just want to express that.”
SOMETHING NEW
Sal explained he had expectations about being a husband and fatherhood before it happened.
“You hear it all, but when it actually happens you don’t have words to describe it,” he gushed.
“I had her [his daughter] 20 months ago and I have feelings I never felt.”
“It’s the deepest feeling I’ve ever had. I love my family, I love my wife. It’s a feeling of inexpressible, pure happiness and joy you feel like you are floating in the air,” Sal expressed, fighting back tears.
“To this day I can’t believe she exists,” he added.
Sal Vulcano and Francesca Muffaletto’s Relationship
Sal Vulcano has kept his private life out of the spotlight for the most part despite his frequent podcast and television appearances.
Sal has supposedly been in a relationship with Francesca Muffaletto for eight years.
The television star does not share updates of his family life on social media, but fans theorized on a Reddit thread that the couple married around three years ago.
“He talked about on stage at a standup event, he’s wearing a wedding ring in an Instagram “behind the scenes “ post he made, and if you watch his new podcasts you can see a very defined tan line on his wedding ring finger,” wrote a social media fan.
Several followers said the star got married in September 2019, although Sal has never confirmed this in person as he said fans did not need to know.
He appeared on a podcast in May and revealed he had a daughter around September 2022.
“Every day I wake up and take a deep breath and I look at her and I’m overwhelmed.”
Despite her daughter being almost 2 years old, Sal has never shared news or photos of his child before.
Sal then admitted that he had reached some “dark places” and used to feel guilty.
EMOTIONAL MOMENTS
He listed several reasons why he should be happy, including his support system, family, and wife.
Sal said he had never had such a huge range of emotions available to him until his daughter was born.
“It’s crazy to have someone pull that out of you,” he said through tears.
“I don’t have to access it. If I hear her voice, if she walks through, if I see a photo of her right now something happens to my body.”
Sal then broke down in tears and Theo could also be seen wiping his tears away.
A clip from the podcast was uploaded to TikTok.
FAN LOVE
Fans flooded the comment section with delighted messgaes for Sal.
“HE HAS A KID?????? OMGGG,” wrote one surprised follower.
“I’M ACTUALLY CRYING THIS IS THE SWEETEST THING EVER,” added another.
“Whattt I had idea he even got married and especially that he had a kid too! I’m sooo happy for him yayy sal!” said a third excited fan.
“Whattt Sal is a dad?!?” asked a fourth user.
