The Untold Truth Of Chris Cuomo's Wife
Apr 06 2020
As coronavirus continues to spread worldwide, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has become a broadcast news staple during this time of uncertainty. But in recent days, the battle against COVID-19 became even more personal for New York's top official, as Cuomo's brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, tested positive for coronavirus.

Chris revealed his diagnosis on Twitter, telling his 1.6 million followers he'd been experiencing "fever, chills, and shortness of breath." He joked that his family was "pleased" to have him "quarantined" in the basement, but Chris also expressed concern that he'd already exposed his wife Cristina and their three children, writing, quote, "That would make me feel worse than this illness!"

Days later, Chris expressed his appreciation during one of his brother Andrew's daily press conferences.

He's lucky, indeed! After all, Cuomo's wife Cristina Greeven has devoted her life to health and wellness.

While Cuomo is famous for his work with ABC News and CNN, he's not the only family member in the media. Cristina Greeven is the founder and editor of The Purist, an online magazine devoted to health and wellness. Launched in 2017, the publication's About Us page explains that, after her three children were born, Greeven became, quote, "a student of nutrition and the mysteries of medicine." Greeven wrote,

"Wellness is no longer an indulgence, it's a necessity. The time is right for a good cleanse. I'm not just talking about a juice cleanse, I'm talking about mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and yes, physically too. Our entire environment has become so toxic–from politics to pollution–people are looking for inspiration in their good health and good lives. It's time to arm oneself against the cacophony coming from disparate places."

Prior to The Purist, Greeven served as the editor-in-chief of Manhattan and Beach, which are both owned by Modern Luxury. However, as the New York Post reported, Greeven was released from her role when the parent company downsized and laid off the majority of its staff in 2016.

As her husband recovers from COVID-19, Greeven hasn't let social distancing during the pandemic stop her from encouraging readers to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Greeven launched The Purist's "Quarantine Cuisine" to provide, quote, "homemade comfort in trying times." Her first recipe, posted in partnership with Chef Adam Kenworthy, promised flavorful veggie tacos from common pantry staples.

Greeven also posted an at-home workout routine on Instagram to encourage her followers to maintain health and combat stress. She admitted on Instagram,

"Last week, I was struggling to make time for movement as I slumped at my desk all day...So, this week, I forced myself to commit to an early morning daily practice to keep serotonin and endorphins (feel good hormones) balancing out cortisol (stress) which are heightened at any sign of a creeping virus."

Cuomo and Greeven got married at the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Catholic Church in Southampton, Long Island on November 24th, 2001. Despite the fact that the bride arrived 30 minutes late, Chris' father, former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, was thrilled to welcome Greeven to his family. Mario told the New York Daily News on the day of the ceremony,

"If this match between Chris and Cristina is not made in heaven, it's certainly made in the vicinity near heaven. They are both bright, sincere and intelligent people."

Now, more than 18 years later, the couple has three children and they all share their mom's love for the outdoors. Greeven wrote on Instagram last Mother's Day,

"My fervor knows no bounds when it comes to my fearless, funny, forward-thinking brood. I am so grateful to be your mom and to learn from you every day!"

If they aren't skiing or surfing, they're probably singing Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" on the way to school…or at least they'll do these things again soon, once the quarantine is lifted. The Cuomo family's exuberance and tight bond will certainly help them pull through any health crisis that comes their way.
