Ernestine’s husband

Ernestine Sclafani is married to Skip Bayless who was a long-time reporter for ESPN. He was a rising star in this channel starting with 2004. He started to write for ESPN.com and was a commentator on Cold Pizza. This used to be ESPN2’s former show which was broadcasted in every morning from Monday to Friday. In May 2007 the show was refurnished and received a new name – First Take. The morning show evolved and it became a place where Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith would challenge different personalities on various topics.

Before his career with ESPN he worked for 20 years as a columnist in Dallas (Dallas Morning News, Dallas Times Herald), Chicago (Chicago Tribune). He was awarded with Texas Sportswriter of the Year and Illinois Sportswriter of the Year. Due to his great talent he won also the Lisagor Award for Excellence in Sports Column for his contribution to the Chicago Tribune. He wrote columns for the Miami Herald and the Los Angeles Times. Ernestine’s husband is the author of three best-seller focused on the Dallas Cowboys. In April 2016 Bayless announced that he will leave ESPN considering that his contract will expire in August. Some said that it was a decision related to his salary but Skip declared that he wants to improve himself and wants to get new experiences. The reasons for leaving ESPN have nothing to do with money, as some rumors implied. He is said to have a net worth of $2 million.

Previous marriage

Even though he is now married to Ernestine, rumors say that he was married previously. The same source says that while he was in high school he fell in love and got married to the girl he dated back then. However, the relationship did not last and they filed for divorce. This is not certain information due to the lack of available details.

Rumors about Ernestine

Skip is a very private person that does not share too much information from his private life. Even his marriage to Ernestine is a mystery. Supposedly they met while Ernestine was a publicist. She brought Kevin Dillon to the ESPN studios for an interview and there she met Skip. They got each other’s number and soon they went out on a date. They got married and as far as we know they have no children. Even after news about Skip’s marriage were distributed, he refused to speak about his personal life.

This lack of information made some to think that Ernestine is just a fake, and she does not actually exist. At least not as Skip’s wife. There are no pictures with them, and even if some may be found, rumors say that they are actually truncated.
