Roberto Luongo's family: All we know about his daughter, wife & more

Roberto Luongo, the legendary NHL goaltender, has a rich and heartwarming story off the rink as well. Beyond his achievements in the NHL, Luongo's family life, charity work, and personal interests provide a glimpse into the multifaceted personality of the hockey icon.

Luongo met his wife, Gina Cerbone at a team hangout called the Pizza Time Trattoria, a restaurant owned by Gina's father, Umberto Cerbone. Gina's roots trace back to Naples and Palermo. The goaltender proposed to her under the romantic Bridge of Sighs in Venice in 2004.

The couple initially resided in Broward County, Florida, but just a month after moving into their new Florida home, Luongo was traded to the Vancouver Canucks. They embraced their new life in Yaletown, Vancouver, while continuing to spend the off-seasons in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Their family expanded with the arrival of their daughter, Gabriella, born on March 27, 2008, and son Giani, born on Dec. 27, 2010.

Luongo decided to skip the 2008 NHL All-Star Game, where he was selected as a starting goaltender, to be with Gina, who was pregnant at the time and had returned to Florida.

According to The Athletic, Luongo enjoys watching his daughter dance and cheering for his son in the net. Luongo is fond of pizzas, golf, and poker.
