News anchor Dan Mannarino surprised everyone with his latest announcement of being a father this morning, posting a picture of his daughter, Olivia Rose Mannarino.
Dan is a morning news anchor at PIX11 News while also anchoring the show PIX on Politics on Sundays. The reporter has had significant success as a reporter and anchor during his career and is now starting a new chapter as a father in his life.
Let us learn more about the anchor, his girlfriend, his new baby, and if the reporter has had kids in the past.
Who Is Dan Mannarino’s Girlfriend Emily Watson?
Rumors of Dan Mannarino dating Emily Watson were all over the internet due to their frequent association with each other. Still, the rumors did not have much weight to them since neither admitted to their relationship.
Emily is a wonderful lady who met young Dan during her college years, and the two even attended the college prom as each other’s date.
Being at each other’s prom date and attending wedding parties led fans to speculate that Emily was Dan Mannarino’s girlfriend.
There were rumors of the news anchor being gay, so his involvement in dating stories helped him get out of the gay talks, which got blown out of proportion for his support for the LGBTQ+ community.
However, nothing has been confirmed regarding the two dating each other or if they dated during their college years and remained friends after college.
New Baby Announcement Details
Dan Mannarino teased everyone on Twitter, saying he had big news to share at 9:10 am, and during his morning news delivery, he brought out his new baby announcement.
Sometime later, he posted a picture of his new daughter on his social media, writing, “BREAKING NEWS: I’m a dad! Say hello to my beautiful daughter, Olivia Rose Mannarino.”
Introducing his daughter to the world, he opened up about how he wanted to be a father and chose to adopt a daughter to expand his family writing,
“I’ve always wanted to be a dad and I came to realize that families truly come in all shapes and sizes and so I chose to grow my family through adoption.”
According to the anchor, Dan met his new adoptive daughter, Olivia, just hours after she was born. He has been watching over her as she grows every day, developing more and more in personality and curiosity.
Adopting must have been a hard decision, and the anchor was very well aware that people could have different opinions from him, so he clarified.
“I really hope everyone realizes something I had to tell myself repeatedly, and it doesn’t just apply to this: don’t let anyone’s opinion stop you from living the life that you want.”
All his friends and followers are excited for Mannarino’s new daughter and wish him the very best, congratulating him on the start of his new chapter on his announcement post.
Does The PIX11 Anchor Have More Kids?
No, the PIX11 anchor Dan Mannarino had no kids before adopting his new daughter, Olivia Rose Mannarino. However, the reporter seems to love kids and has wanted to have one of his own for a long time.
Mannarino is often seen having fun with his goddaughter and her brother on his social media and is always happy to spend time with them.
Even in his baby announcement, Dan talked about how much he wanted to be a dad and how Olivia is a dream come true for him as he finally becomes a dad.
