Meet Alyssa Milano’s Spouses: David Bugliari and Cinjun Tate

Alyssa Milano, the beloved actress known for her roles in Who’s the Boss?, Charmed, and Melrose Place, has had a notable romantic history, including two marriages.

Alyssa Jayne Milano was born on December 19, 1972, in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, New York City, making her 53 years old. She comes from an Italian-American family, is of Italian descent, and was raised Catholic, a faith she continues to practice.

After a neighborhood incident, her family moved to Staten Island, where she grew up. Her father, Thomas M. Milano, worked as a film music editor, and her mother, Lin Milano, was a fashion designer and talent manager. She has one younger brother, Cory Milano, who is about ten years her junior.

Milano entered the entertainment world early, starting acting at age 7 with roles in touring productions such as Annie before landing her breakout role in the sitcom Who’s the Boss? at age 11.

Her education combined traditional schooling with on-set tutoring, during which she received three hours of instruction daily. Standing at 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 m) tall, Alyssa Milano has led a high-profile personal life.

She was briefly married to musician Cinjun Tate in 1999, though the marriage ended in divorce that same year.

Since August 15, 2009, she has been married to talent agent David Bugliari. Together they have two children: a son, Milo Thomas Bugliari, born on August 31, 2011, and a daughter, Elizabella Dylan Bugliari, born on September 4, 2014.

Over the years, her dating history has included notable relationships with actors such as Corey Haim (from 1987 to 1990), Scott Wolf (whom she was engaged to in 1993 before parting ways in 1994), and Brian Krause, as well as briefer romances with figures like Justin Timberlake, Eric Dane, and athletes Barry Zito and Brad Penny.

Cinjun Tate

Cinjun Tate was Alyssa Milano‘s first husband. He is a musician and the lead singer of Remy Zero, an alternative rock band known for tracks like “Prophecy,” which has been featured in films and TV.

Tate and Milano married on January 1, 1999, in a private ceremony at a Louisiana bed-and-breakfast. Family and close friends attended, including Milano‘s Charmed co-stars Shannen Doherty and Holly Marie Combs.

The couple had dated for several months. The marriage initially seemed promising, bringing together Milano‘s Hollywood world and Tate‘s music scene. However, the union was short-lived. They separated in November 1999 and officially divorced on December 1, 1999 (or early 2000 in some reports), after just 10–11 months, citing irreconcilable differences.

The split was amicable in public accounts, with few details about the reasons. The demands of their careers may have contributed. Despite the brief marriage, Milano has spoken positively about it, noting personal lessons learned.

Tate has continued his music career, including projects with his brother in bands such as Spartan Fidelity. This marriage is a footnote in Milano‘s life story, in contrast to her longer-lasting second union.

David Bugliari

David Bugliari is Alyssa Milano‘s second and current husband. He is a respected talent agent who worked at Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and later co-founded Range Media Partners.

The pair met in 2007 through mutual friends, including actor Milo Ventimiglia. After a year-long courtship, they began dating. Bugliari proposed in December 2008 with a custom-designed ring. They married on August 15, 2009, in a romantic ceremony at his family’s home in New Jersey.

This wedding marked a new chapter for Milano, who called Bugliari her rock and “Mr. Right” after previous heartbreaks. The couple has built a strong partnership, emphasizing open communication, humor, and hard work in their relationship.

Milano has stated that divorce is “not an option” for them. They support each other through career demands and difficult life events, including miscarriages and parenthood. Together, they have two children: Milo Thomas Bugliari (born August 31, 2011) and Elizabella Dylan Bugliari (born September 4, 2014).

The couple remains happily married. They celebrate milestones, like their 16th anniversary in 2025, with heartfelt social media tributes. Bugliari stays relatively private but is frequently praised by Milano for his support. Their relationship stands as a model of long-term commitment in Hollywood.
