Personal Life

Caroline was previously in a relationship with fellow comedian Costaki Economopoulos, and they welcomed daughter Ava on October 20, 2008.

David died of lung cancer 10 months after his diagnosis, and Margery died of breast cancer six years after being diagnosed with the disease. Caroline told “People” magazine, “The month after my dad died is when Ava was conceived naturally, at a considerably older age than most people.” She added, “She’s like my little miracle baby. All the bad stuff, and all the good stuff, it all leads you to the place that you’re meant to be. When it’s something that results in a child being born, and you get to be a mother, it’s all worth it.” In 2001, Rhea competed on a special edition of the game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” and won $125,000 for charity.
