He has many talents

In addition to his institutional brokerage, Frankel dabbled in media work as a newscaster, anchor, writer, and editor at UTV 13 News Digest. Furthermore, he worked for toy companies Kenner and Hasbro.

Frankel did very little acting work in the 1989 film "Alien Space Avenger" and a handful of other projects which he was uncredited for. His film run ended in 1998.

The businessman stole the heart of Moynahan and tied the knot with her in 2015. They kept the affair so secret that not even the guests knew what it was.

In a post-interview, she opened up to People about her new husband who she called "the nicest guy ever." She also said he is "genuine, kind, and sensitive."

The outlet learned that guests were encouraged to donate to cancer and blood disease research organization The Hole in Wall Gang Camp instead of sending gifts.

Their blended family is the icing on the cake

A source told People that Moynahan's son is looking forward to getting "three incredible older brothers." Back in 2011, Moynahan praised the fact that John was "surrounded by love" thanks to his extended family.

Now, the young boy will have even more love in his life with his new stepfather and his big brothers. As per her Instagram, Moynahan still keeps her private life as private as she can, but we have a feeling she's incredibly happy behind the scenes.
