She was all sweaty with a rubber tooth guard in her mouth, so she's not going to look too cute. She's been in other shows and she appears to have a spicy sense of humor which makes her appealing.

They appear to have little in common though.

Weirdly, their kid doesn't look like either of them. She's got like white blonde hair and so on.

As for "having little in common", in one of his blog posts he provides some background on the relationship & states he knew she might be The One when on thier first date, she wouldn't give up her shrimp heads, slurping them herself. Apparently she is quite the foodie & traveller in her own right.

Agreed that his wife looked like crap simply because she was in her fighting gear. But for anyone who thinks his second wife is ugly, you should see his first wife, Nancy. She's no looker either.

As for what they have in common, I found this in a NY Times article about Ottavia:

"Both were heavy drinkers, smokers, eaters and partyers. Their first date was to a cigar bar; their second was to Masa. A few dates later, they had matching tattoos (of a chef’s knife) put on their shoulders. And after a few more dates, they married."

Sounded pretty whirlwind to me so I'm surprised they decided to have a kid and they're still together. I'm guessing it works out because he travels so much so they don't have to see each other.

Their daughter does not have white blond hair lol. It's brown. I don't know what kid you're talking about.


The people you idolize wouldn't like you.

Ottavia is beautiful, charming and extremely cool.

I suppose you preferred if he got some 28 year-old stick insect without a personality.

I thought she was very attractive and they match.
