Kimberly Guilfoyle has dated her fair share of eligible bachelors.
The former prosecutor and co-host of the Fox News show The Five has been married,
and divorced, twice, with hubby number two being Eric Villency.
Here's everything to know about these two, from their early days to their split.
Before we dig into the dirty details of this romance,
you should first know a few things about Kimberly Guilfoyle's second ex-husband,
since he's not connected to politics. After all, Guilfoyle seems wildly attracted to that type.
Eric Villency isn't a president's son and may not have "governor" on his resume,
but he still has some decently impressive credentials making him bachelor-worthy, on paper.
For starters, Villency hails from a family of entrepreneurial blood.
His grandfather started the Maurice Villency furniture chain in 1932,
which his father eventually took over prior to handing it down to him in 1998.
Guilfoyle's second hubby credits his grandfather with instilling in him a love of design.
Villency deeply admired his hard-working grandfather, telling Forbes magazine,
"I loved to hear him talk about not only his furniture and the art he made,
but also the artists and designers he admired."
The family furniture company was eventually rebranded as the Villency Design Group,
and it's pretty safe to say that Eric's been successful at running it.
He's not only completed projects for various airports and Citi Field,
but he's also designed a Soul Cycle bike and exercise bike for Peloton.
"Okay Peloton, let's go."
Kimberly Guilfoyle didn't waste much time on the singles market after splitting from
her politician ex-husband Gavin Newsom. She met Eric Villency on a blind date that same year and
went full steam ahead with her younger new beau without looking back. Here's how it all went down.
According to a 2006 article in People,
"The couple met on a blind date last October and were engaged by Christmas,
but kept the romance a secret until February,
when Kimberly's divorce from San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom was finalized."
If you do the math, there wasn't much downtime between Guilfoyle's two marriages. We can
speculate that it was the couple's good looks, or perhaps their shared love for modeling, that
brought them together. In Guilfoyle's pre-attorney and news anchor days, she modeled for Macy's,
Nordstrom, and various other higher-end clothing stores to help pay for law school.
Villency also dabbled in that arena. According to the booking agency All American Entertainment
Speakers, the furniture heir maintains a deep connection to the fashion world,
even to the present day. Whatever pushed them onto
a fast track romance worked. For a little while, at least.
A 37-year-old Kimberly Guilfoyle already had one failed marriage to add to her resume
when she took the plunge for a second time with Eric Villency in May 2006. Slow and steady
obviously wasn't on this pair's agenda though, as they wed just one year into the courtship.
The couple went with a swanky St. James, Barbados resort with a Nazarene minister officiating the
nuptials for their big day. A now-known fact is that Guilfoyle was already five
months pregnant with Villency's child when she walked down the aisle at her destination wedding.
A source told People that the pregnancy was the worst-kept secret in town at the time.The
same source also refuted anyone's claims that the marriage was a shotgun attempt to
unite before the baby arrived, declaring that the wedding was planned long before Guilfoyle
knew that she was pregnant. However, there was no hiding that breaking news for long. The duo's son,
Ronan Anthony, was born in October 2006, just five months after their big day.
Kimberly Guilfoyle's marriage to Eric Villency ended in 2009.
It's safe to say that she hasn't had the best luck when it comes to her marriages.
Her first union only lasted five years, and her second marriage wound up having less
longevity than the first, despite the fact that she had a child with hubby number two.
There are very few details out there about why her three-year marriage to
Villency didn't work out. However, we can say that the breakup appeared to be amicable.
The exes had a signed prenuptial agreement in place, and were vowing
to remain friends while sharing joint custody of a then 2-year-old Ronan.
Guilfoyle seems to be a mover and shaker, though, so it shouldn't come as a surprise
that she managed to keep it moving when her marriage to Villency ended. In a 2018 interview
with The Washington Post, she gave us a look into her thought process, telling the paper,
"I am always changing and doing stuff...Grass
doesn't grow too long under my feet. I'm on the move."
Loyalty is apparently a big thing for Kimberly Guilfoyle, even when it comes
to exes. The former television anchor is still very close with her furniture heir ex's family,
despite the fact that they've been divorced for years. As Guilfoyle told Mediaite in an interview,
"Even when people don't stay married, they can still be a family together...When
you go through divorce with children you don't make it about you, make it about that child."
Guilfoyle went on to bless us with her thoughts on faithfulness in the same interview, saying,
"With marriages, people can take the easy way out and grow apart.
Or you can show respect and loyalty and that's what I've tried to do in all my relationships."
"And you can have a great relationship with your ex. I know, I've done it twice."
With two failed marriages under her belt, you'd think the idea of another husband would
be a no-go for Guilfoyle, but apparently, that isn't the case. According to Page Six,
the long-haired brunette is, quote, "not opposed to a third marriage."
But while she was attending Bridal Fashion Week in New York in April of 2019,
Guilfoyle told Women's Wear Daily that she does not have an engagement ring from Donald Trump Jr.
She then went on to tell the outlet,
"I believe in great love, so I always have my heart open and my calendar available."
