Who is Maria Menounos’ husband, Keven Undergaro?
The story of Keven Undergaro is a bit of a wild rollercoaster ride, but it is also a great success story. (Where’s this man’s biopic?) According to his website bio, he managed to graduate from college as a disaffected youth while drinking five nights a week, but struggled to find his career. He eventually became a showman over the summer while writing for MTVs Singled out in the winters.
In his lean days, he sometimes slept under trucks and answered gangsters and guys with nicknames like Big Daddy Crackpipe. He then poured all of his resources into producing an independent film that eventually left him homeless and broke. But while filming this film, he met Maria Menounos, who was 19 at the time.
