Joe Gatto and his wife, Bessy Gatto, have been a fan-favorite couple ever since they started sharing their life together with fans on social media. This is why their followers were heartbroken in 2021 when Joe announced his separation from Bessy while simultaneously revealing his exit from Impractical Jokers. After they seemingly patched things up, fans became invested in the couple’s relationship.
Below, learn more about Joe’s wife, Bessy.
Bessy is 42 years old and got married to Joe in 2013 after moving to New York City. While she’s supportive of Joe’s comedy career, Bessy has also focused on her own aspirations. She and Joe run a rescue shelter for disabled and neglected dogs. The non-profit business is called Gatto Pups & Friends and was created based on Bessy and Joe’s passion to help senior dogs.
“Bessy and Joe Gatto’s love for animals, especially senior dogs, has provided a home for those overlooked and unwanted,” the business’ website reads. “Supporters of many rescues and animal sanctuaries, they have dedicated their time and efforts into advocating for those who can’t speak up for themselves.”
Additionally, Bessy is a mother to her and Joe’s two children.
No, Joe and Bessy did not legally divorce. However, they were separated for some time. Nearly two years after Joe announced in December 2021 that he and Bessy “decided to amicably part ways,” the comedian took to Instagram to declare their reconciliation.
