What you need to know
When it comes to reality TV, Michael Rapaport and his wife, Kebe Rapaport (née Dan), have truly seen it all.
Michael and Kebe’s love story wasn’t easy. They had a brief romance in the 90s, long before they became a couple. Michael went on to start a family with his first wife, TV producer and author Nicole Beatty, and welcomed sons Julian and Maceo during their marriage.
After their divorce in 2007, Michael reunited with Kebe. The two were first spotted together at a New York Knicks game in 2012 and quietly married four years later.
Today, Michael and Kebe are best known for their shared love of reality TV, which they discuss at length on their podcast, Rapaport’s Reality.
Kebe introduced Michael to series such as The Real Housewives and The Bachelor, and he has since made a name for himself in the field. Michael hosts panels at BravoCon and is a regular guest on Watch What Happens Live! And most recently, he appeared in Season 4 of The Traitors, which premiered on January 8th.

Although Michael and Kebe have not revealed how they first met, the actors dated in the early ’90s and were photographed attending several Hollywood events together.
Time passed, and in the summer of 2011, Kebe posted the first photo of Michael on his Instagram. The since-deleted snapshot showed the Bill Murder star sitting in a car. Since then, she has shared many throwback photos of them from the ’90s.
According to one of her social media posts from 2014, Michael and Kebe broke up in 1994 but reunited decades later.
“Reminds me of those days when Bey messed things up and we rode the Sista to Cabo to clean it up. We’re going on a 20 year hiatus,” she captioned a now-deleted selfie of herself and Michael with the hashtags “Happy to Be Back,” “Love” and “True Story.”
