With Bob and Abishola not married in real life, who is Gardell married to?
About nine years before Gardell first worked with Chuck Lorre in the sitcom Mike & Molly, he married Patty Gardell in 2001. This was about 20 years before Bob and Abishola married in the CBS sitcom.
“I always tell my wife, Patty, she’s a gift because she is completely grounded,” Gardell told Wall Street Journal in 2015. “We both came from modest backgrounds, and family is more important to her than success.”
The two have celebrated anniversaries and holidays by posting their photos, including a throwback photo to their wedding in 2015.
And 2021 marks two decades of their marriage going strong. They have one child together, William Gardell.
The CBS sitcom depicts Gardell’s character Bob having a rough romantic past with ex-wife Lorraine (Nicole Sullivan). Then, after Bob and Abishola married, things calmed down a bit. Gardell’s real-life followed a much less dramatic path.
Has Olowofoyeku married anyone in real life?
