Reality TV, modeling, reporting and interpretation, JillNicolini has done it all. However, in recent years, she has focused more on reporting, anchoring, and hosting on CBS TV. Nicolini is also a traffic reporter on WPIX 11 in New York, a role she took on in the spring of 2017.
Jill Nicolini Biography,
Jill Marie Nicolini was born on January 10, 1978 in Farmingville, New York. She attended Sachem South High School where she graduated in 1996. It might surprise you to know that Nicolini has not one but two degrees. Yh! She’s far from just a pretty face with a hot body. According to her LinkedIn profile, Nicolini attended Stony Brook University from 1996 to 1998, during which she studied pre-med.
She went on to study at the Suffolk County community in 1999, earning an associate degree in communications and media, wasting no time. She immediately returned to school, at the New York Institute of Technology where she obtained a master’s degree in communication and media studies in 2001.
Before turning professional with her career, Nicolini immersed herself in show business; model and play. In 2002, she won the Miss Long Island title. However, she was stripped of her title in 2002, as more and more evidence came to light in 2001 for Playboy magazine’s ‘College Girls’ special. As a result, she could not compete for the Miss New York crown.
To make ends meet, she continued to work as a model and had small roles in a few films.
Jill then landed a job as a hostess for an NHL team. In the line of duty, she was retained by those responsible for the Fox reality show, Married by America. During the show, she was paired with former professional baseball player Kevin Gallaher to form one of the five couples that made up the show. Jill and Kev went on to win the show, but following a series of problems they did not marry. As a result, they forfeited the $500,000 prize offered by Fox.
Made with reality TV, Nicolini in March 2004 landed her first professional journalist position at Tribune Broadcasting’s WPIX. She worked as a weekday morning traffic reporter and remained with the media company for 7 years and 7 months, then in September 2011.
Nicolini then joined Fox News Channel’s WNYW, Channel 5, as an entertainment and feature reporter. His passage lasted a little more than two years. In October 2013, she began working as an entertainment reporter for CBS 2. When she can, Nicolini accepts gigs. Annie (2014), Zizi and Honeyboy (2018) are among his recent films.
Husband
As far as we know, Nicolini had never been married before, but there is a difference somewhere. Her first marriage could have easily been to Kevin Gallaher, but they never did.
Jill has had a few relationships in the past that the media has known about. She dated Opie and Anthony radio show host Anthony Cumia in 2008. However, their relationship was short-lived as they broke up after Jill joined him in bed with a 20-year-old blonde who was later recognized as a porn star.
Jill then began dating hedge fund manager JosephDi Virgilio. However, the outcome of this relationship remains unknown to the media. It was also the last time details of Jill’s romantic life were made public. As a result, her fans were shocked in 2014 when she announced she was expecting a child.
She gave birth to a son a few months later and named him Austin Thomas. From the photos she posted on social media, it became apparent that her son’s father is one Peter Khachadurian.
Peter and Jill started tweeting in October 2014, the year Austin was born. In a tweet, she referred to Peter as her Armenian boyfriend and implied that they lived in the same room.

More evidence? In February 2017, Nicolini welcomed a second child, a son named Jackson Henry. She took to her Facebook page to reveal the boy’s birth and tagged Peter, who was in hospital, in the post. The profile picture on Peter’s Facebook and Instagram page is featured with Jill and her two children.
We also dug deeper into Nicolini’s page and discovered that she had also posted family photos of herself and Peter with the two boys. With all of this evidence, it’s clear that Peter Khachadurian is the father of Jill Nicolini’s sons. Whether or not they are married remains a mystery.
According to Peter’s LinkedIn profile, he works as a sales representative for Dave Bofill Marine Inc. He was also the former owner of Photo Plus Inc.
