Melber, who typically keeps his romantic life private, was in a long relationship with Drew Grant. In September 2013, according to a New York Times article, Melber referred to Grant as his "fiancée."

Melber and Grant used to share a walk-up apartment in Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens neighborhood. Like many couples who prioritize a healthy balance in their lives, they had a rule of not using digital screens after 11 in the evening. Melber said:

"We found the evenings were more relaxing, and we were sleeping better."

The couple's evening rule came after they went on a vacation to Honduras, where they realized they didn't have internet access. They reportedly married in 2013 but split in 2017 after three years of marriage.

In August 2018, dating rumors began to bubble up after Melber and actress Alexandra Daddario was spotted having a cozy lunch at Café Habana Malibu, culminating in a kiss by her car.

Ari Was Linked to Alexandra Daddario

In August 2018, dating rumors began to bubble up after Melber and actress Alexandra Daddario was spotted having a cozy lunch at Café Habana Malibu, culminating in a kiss by her car.

Daddario shot to fame for the films "Baywatch" alongside actors Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron and "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief," featuring actor Logan Lerman.

The actress was dressed down in comfortable athletic wear, suggesting that they had been seeing each other for a while. Later that month, Daddario spoke candidly about her love life, saying she was romantically and professionally in a good place.

She also talked about dating in her 30s, stating that people are more self-aware and have a clearer idea of what they want in a partner by that age.

Her remarks fueled speculation that she and Melber were an item. Their budding romance was displayed at an event honoring comedian Richard Lewis' sobriety, where the couple made a sweet appearance together.

It appears that Daddario has ended her reported relationship with Melber and is now happily married to her husband, film producer Andrew Form, since June 2022.

It's also unclear what led to the end of Daddario's reported romance with Melber, but she has moved on and is content in her current relationship with her husband.
