LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Good Morning America’s Chief Business, Technology, and Economics Correspondent, Rebecca Jarvis has now been married for over a decade. However, the 41-year-old is extremely coy when it comes to her personal life.
Before diving into the world of journalism, the ‘GMA’ star worked for Citigroup in London and then later at Bank of America in Chicago as an Investment Banking analyst. It was here that Rebecca’s relationship with her current husband Matthew Pierce Hanson blossomed and the duo eventually ended up getting married.
Although Matthew and Rebecca had known each other for quite a while before tying the knot, it was by working together for over a year, that the couple realized their true feelings for each other.
Who is Rebecca Jarvis’ husband?
‘GMA’ reporter Rebecca Jarvis is married to Matthew Pierce Hanson, a successful finance professional in New York City. Matthew and Rebecca first met while studying at the University of Chicago but it wasn’t until after graduation that the duo first embraced each other romantically.
Speaking to the New York Times, Rebecca said of Matthew, “I remember him as this guy’s guy, always hanging out with a large group of friends and making them laugh.”
Matthew and Rebecca worked together in the investment banking division of Bank of America where long hours brought them closer. Matthew once said of his wife, “She was the funniest girl I ever met. There was an enormous depth to her personality and character that she didn’t reveal to a lot of people. I found that very appealing.”
With an extensive and impressive resume, Matthew is currently working as the Chief Growth Officer at Black Buffalo Inc, starting in 2019. Owing to his successful stint in investment banking and his current role, Matthew has amassed a net worth of $15 million as per bbcgossip.
Rebecca and Matthew finally exchanged vows at the McNamara Alumni Center in Minneapolis with the bridegroom’s father, the Reverend Craig H Hanson, the lead pastor at Roseville Lutheran Church in Roseville, Minnesota, taking part.
