Sal Vulcano Does Not Have a Wife but He Is in a Relationship
Vulcano has no wife, but in a May 2023 interview with Rick Glassman, he revealed he was in a long relationship. He recalled unexpectedly confessing his love to his former girlfriend when he said goodbye one day. He said:
"Actually, my last relationship–before the one I'm in now–is for 12 years, I think and I said [I love you]. It came out, and I wasn't even–it just came out, and as I was leaving her house, I was saying goodbye to the door, we kissed goodbye, and I just was like, 'I love you,' and I didn't even not a thought prior."
Although his then-partner did not immediately reciprocate what he said, the situation wasn't awkward, as Vulcano later discovered she felt the same way. While he said he is in a current relationship, he did not elaborate on it in the interview.
