In the early hours of October 1, 2007, Reali's apartment was destroyed by a fire. It was an incident acknowledged by Tony Kornheiser on Pardon the Interruption on the day of the fire and by Reali himself, along with various correspondents on Around the Horn. Jay Mariotti verified that no one had been injured in the fire. The fire took place a few days after he proposed to his longtime girlfriend, and now wife Samiya Edwards who works as an Africa policy consultant.
Reali gives himself credit for coming up with the names of his son and daughter; Fiorello and Fiorella La Guardia Reali. He said that he would tell them about his hilarious engagement story after they were old enough to understand. A few days later after his engagement proposal, his apartment caught fire with the insurance papers of the ring unsigned in the apartment. Everything in the apartment was destroyed. The next day, he insured the ring and they got married in the same year.
The engagement story came out years after his marriage. He tweeted about it in an interesting way. He has not mentioned anything about his relationship with his new wife and how his life is going on. It seems that he wants to keep the serious details about his personal life private but is more than willing to tell the funny stories. The way he explained the ring story was appreciated by the public because it showed a very human side of him. People feel he should have trademarked the story and made it into a movie.
A lot of Reali’s personal life are kept away from the public. He never mentioned how he met his girl or why the fell in love in the first place. He just mentioned her as stats girl. His childhood, his relationship with his parents and his dates and relationships before stats girl are kept private. His wedding pictures and details about the ceremony are also not available to the media. If he had not tweeted about his bathroom engagement story, his personal life would have been totally unknown. Apart from his marital life, he is very devoted to his religion. The stats girl is also very cautious of the media and has not shared anything personal about her husband or how her marital life started with him.
