Justina Machado's known dating history is short, and the actress has rarely, if ever, spoken about it publicly. The same has gone for her reported relationship with multi-talented artist Emanuel Gironi.

Justina Machado joined the film and TV industry in the early 1990s and has accumulated nearly 100 onscreen credits since her debut in the "ABC Afterschool Specials" in 1993. Throughout the decade, she won minor parts in shows like "NYPD Blue," "Crisis Center," and "Goode Behavior."

Eventually, she landed her breakout role as Vanessa Diaz in the comedy-drama series "Six Feet Under." The award-winning show ran for five seasons between 2001 and 2005, with Machado appearing in 42 episodes.

Her co-stars included Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall, Frances Conroy, and Lauren Ambrose. "Six Feet Under" became her staple, but she also won audiences worldwide in 2004's "Torque," 2014's "Purge: The Anarchy," and the Pop TV comedy show "One Day at a Time."

Her most recent credit comes from Amazon Prime's "The Horror of Dolores Roach," playing the title character who leaves prison after 16 years with malicious intent. Machado recently attended an early screening of the series. The actress's alleged boyfriend is also a star in his own right.

Although no one claims the title of Machado's husband, her reported boyfriend is Cuban-born Emanuel Gironi who is a seasoned Hollywood artist. Gironi graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Miami, where he was part of the Thespian Club.

After graduation, he worked as a Video DJ for the Univision TV network while serving as a Radio DJ for WHYI Y-100. Like Machado, he began acting in the early '90s, first appearing as a TV reporter in the 1991 thriller film "Fires Within."

Gironi landed more roles in TV shows, including "Marielena," and "Tres destinos." He remained active in acting and branched into writing and directing his own projects, including the movie shorts "The Mind Conjurors" and "A Simple Choice."

The mini-films came out shortly after he launched his production agency, Knock'em Alive Films and Pintame Pictures, in 2003. He also had a guest appearance in "One Day at a Time" in 2017 and another in "S.W.A.T.," co-starring Shemar Moore and Alex Russell, the following year.

Justina Machado and Emanuel Gironi Are Believed To Have Started Dating in the Mid-2010s

Machado's first appearance on Gironi's Instagram timeline dates back to 2014, which happens to be the first post the producer shared on his page. It is believed that their romantic relationship began that year.

Machado has never denied nor confirmed the speculation of her romance with Gironi, but the couple has walked the red carpet arm-in-arm several times. Moreover, Gironi frequently raves about Machado on his social media.

In 2016, he posted a lovely photo of Machado and captioned it, "Exquisitely priceless. Love you baby." In a 2019 post, the two were twinning in matching jackets at their favorite hangout spot. The following year, they spent Valentine's Day with Machado's younger brother.

Although Gironi continues to post about Machado, he has yet to appear on her social pages. Her Instagram account is primarily dedicated to work-related content, but she also frequently posts about her family and friends.

Before her rumored romance with Gironi, Machado was allegedly in a relationship with actor Christan Svensson in the early 2000s. However, the details of the relationship or when it ended remain unknown.
