Scott Weinger's Wife Rina Mimoun Cancelled Their 1st Date as She Thought He Built Fansite Dedicated to Himself

Scott Weinger's wife, Rina Mimoun, also has a Hollywood career and has worked on several hit television shows over the years. The couple welcomed one child together.

Former child star Scott Weinger and his wife Rina Mimoun have been married for over a decade. However, there was an instance whereby their romance nearly never happened.

A friend decided to do due diligence in checking out Weinger before he went out on a date with his future spouse, and what they discovered almost ruined the chances of a relationship between the two.

Rina Mimoun's First Date with Scott Weinger Almost Didn't Happen

Mimoun's famous husband is best known for appearing in the hit classic sitcom, "Full House" as the hunky Steve Hale alongside his on-screen girlfriend, Cameron Candace Bure (DJ Tanner), Bob Saget (Danny Tanner) and John Stamos (Jesse Katsopolis).

Weinger's role on the show almost cost him his chances with Mimoun. He shared a fun fact about the couple's first date in an August 2015 interview.

"After we arranged our first date, my wife abruptly canceled because her coworker Googled me and found a fan website about me," the actor recalled. He further explained that the brunette beauty assumed that he had created the site himself, adding:

"She thought, 'Oh God, I can't date anybody who's going to make a website dedicated to himself. I can't handle that level of ego.'"

Regardless of the misunderstanding, the pair ended up dating. The television star shared a throwback image of the lovebirds beaming on Instagram in December 2017.

Weinger explained that it was the first ever photo that they took together as a couple while joking that he had no idea why they decided to take a shot of themselves inside a fire truck.

The movie star and Mimoun tied the knot in 2008. Weinger, also best known for voicing the aspiring prince in Disney's 1992 "Aladdin," revealed in a December 2022 interview that his beloved wife "gets a kick out of" him doing the Disney character impression.

She thought the role would only end up in his childhood, but he has since played it over again in straight-to-video sequels and video games, Weinger divulged.

Rina Mimoun Has One Child with Scott Weinger

Weinger and Mimoun share a son whom they named Mischa. The proud father shared he would take along the duo's only child to see "The Diamond Edition of Aladdin" in 2015.

Three years later, the father of one shared a family photo featuring his wife and kid during their getaway in Hawaii. The trio posed near the ocean with their arms wrapped around each other.

In May 2019, Mimoun's husband paid a tribute to her on social media, marking Mother's Day. The father of one posted a throwback picture of the mother and son duo on Instagram.

"Happy Mother's Day to the top, the Colosseum, the Louvre Museum, the Shakespeare sonnet of moms," the New York native captioned his social upload.

Weinger also paid a birthday tribute to the mother of his child, now 49, in March 2023. He shared a picture of them with their son posing outside an Italian restaurant called Rao's and wrote:

"A glorious night of overeating to celebrate the birthday of my magnificent wife Rina."

Unlike her husband, Mimoun is known for her work off-screen as a television writer and producer. The mother of one is best known for being the showrunner for the comedy-drama series, "Privileged," which aired from 2008 until 2009 on The CW.

In addition to the show, Mimoun also worked in several well-known productions, including the comedy-drama series, "Pushing Daisies," "Dawson's Creek," "Gilmore Girls," "Jack and Jill" and "Everwood," where she worked for four years.
