His personal life has been a secret for the media. Because of this reason, there is no evidence regarding his dating life and any past girlfriend.
But in 2011, there was a rumor that he was dating his current wife, Stephanie. They got married in 2011, and both the husband and the wife are happy with their relationship.
In 2014, they started talking about having children. Since they seem very close, there is no question about them getting a divorce anytime soon.

“If you tried to make a show for every person's particular interest, it'd be impossible because everyone is going to consume it the way they want to. All you can do is try to do an hour that makes sense for all.” – Scott Van Pelt
