Gia Olimp is the wife of actor Anthony Carrigan, with whom she crossed paths in the most unconventional way. Carrigan has revealed how the couple met in an interview.

Although the husband-and-wife duo keep their relationship out of the limelight, they once candidly talked about married life and raved about each other.

Inside Gia Olimp & Anthony Carrigan’s Love Story & Married Life

Olimp and Carrigan met in 2015 in New York City. The television star candidly discussed their first encounter during an April 2019 interview on "People Now." He revealed:

"We met on the subway. It was really sweet. I saw her standing there. We actually got on together. I got off [sic] on the wrong stop. She was on the wrong train."

The couple got hitched in June 2018 and have been married for five years. They opened up about married life during a red carpet-interview in January 2019.

Olimp's husband admitted that being married is "wonderful" as he wakes up next to the brunette beauty daily. For the first few months as a married couple, the lovebirds only referred to one another as husband and wife instead of calling each other by name.

Olimp also gushed about her spouse's acting skills and revealed that she cries sometimes while watching him on the small screen, adding she is "beyond proud."

Carrigan has also made a thoughtful gesture to his beautiful wife through his work on TV. He plays Chechen mobster NoHo Hank in the hit HBO series, "Barry," starring opposite Bill Hader and Henry Winkler.

The TV star divulged that he wanted to give a shoutout to his wife by having a fake tattoo of chess pieces on his knuckles. While he is part of show business, Olimp is a professional chess player.

According to her spouse, she has been teaching him to play the board game, which he described as "hard." However, the Hollywood star admitted he was enjoying learning how to play it.

Other than that, Carrigan and Olimp keep a low profile when it comes to their relationship. The "Gotham" alum rarely posts pictures of his wife on his Instagram page, with over 160,000 followers and over 200 posts.

The Massachusetts native mainly shares pictures of his projects, fellow stars, and of him only. It seems Olimp is not visibly active on social media, unlike her husband.

What Is Gia Olimp's Husband Known For?

Olimp's spouse is best known for his breakout role as NoHo Hank in "Barry" (2018). However, that was not his first TV role, as he previously appeared in the drama series "Gotham" with Jada Pinkett Smith and Ben McKenzie as Victor Zsasz.

Carrigan, who often portrays villainous roles, also starred in the ABC drama series, "The Forgotten," which aired for only one season from 2009 until 2010.

The film star, who has a writer credit under his belt, has also appeared on television shows such as "The Flash," "The Blacklist" and "Parenthood," (2010).

Carrigan is a three-time Emmy Award nominee. He was nominated for the honorary award for Outstanding Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2019, 2022, and 2023 for his stint in "Barry."
