Love life and husband
Hillary prefers to keep the details of her love life to herself, but it’s still widely known that she’s today a married woman, as well as a mother. She exchanged vows with non-celebrity American Chris Saba sometime in the first half of the 2000s, but neither has spoken about how and when they met; it’s believed that Chris was once a successful wrestler, and that they were introduced by a mutual friend. They have five children together, but as Chris and Hillary prefer to keep them away from the media’s attention, their names and birthdates haven’t been disclosed.
