Does Chris Cuomo have children?

Chris and his wife Cristina have three children together, two girls and a boy.

The couple got married back in November 2001.

Bella Cuomo, the couple's oldest child, is 18 years old, while Mario the middle child is three years younger. The Cuomo's youngest of the brood, Carolina, is 11.

While not much is known about Mario and Carolina, Bella is known for her social media following.

With over 17.8k followers on Instagram, she also has a large following on TikTok and is often seen posting lip-syncing videos.

Cristina stated in an Instagram post earlier this year that their three children were forced to grow up "overnight" when both of their parents were down and out with the virus.

"Bella, our [then] 17-year-old daughter, stepped up cleaning, doing laundry, cooking for her siblings and getting them situated with Google classroom, and caregiving her mother and father," she wrote.

Following their parent's diagnoses, Mario also contracted the virus but has since recovered.

What did Chris say about his brother Andrew?

Amid Andrew's sexual harassment scandal, Chris got brought into it after he refused to address the investigation on his CNN segment back in August of 2021.

Despite the results of the investigation being revealed, Chris went through several segments about the rising number of Covid-19 cases in the US instead of addressing his brother on August 3.

At the height of Andrew's sexual harassment scandal, Chris said on Cuomo Prime Time it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to cover the allegations against his brother.

At the time, Chris said: "Before we start tonight, let me say something that I'm sure is very obvious to you, who watch my show. And thank you for that.

"You're straight with me. I'll be straight with you. Obviously, I'm aware of what's going on with my brother. And obviously, I cannot cover it, because he is my brother.

“Now, of course, CNN has to cover it. They have covered it extensively. And they will continue to do so. I have always cared very deeply about these issues, and profoundly so. I just wanted to tell you that.

"There's a lot of news going on that matters also. So let's get after that," Chris added.

Chris made his announcement before moving on to news he felt he could ethically cover.

CNN suspended Chris Cuomo indefinitely on Tuesday, November 30, 2021, before they announced his termination on Saturday, December 4.

"Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother’s defense," they said.

"We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately.

"While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light. Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate.”

After spending several months away from hosting, Chris Cuomo will be returning to primetime television on October 3, 2022.

His show, CUOMO, which airs on NewsNation on October 3, 2022, at 8pm ET, will feature celebrity guests in its premiere week.

The guests include Andrew Yang, Stephen A. Smith, Bill Maher, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Whoopi Goldberg, and Tulsi Gabbard.
