However, the strapping 37-year-old has been quietly winning over viewers for much longer, thanks to his tenure as the transportation correspondent on the main GMA show during the week.
Gio's personal life is also as much a part of his appeal, thanks to his role as a diligent reporter on-screen and a loving husband off-screen. Here's all you need to know about the GMA anchor's husband and his own lengthy resume…
