Who Is His Wife?
The television celebrity was once romantically involved with a woman. This woman was an actor, filmmaker, and stuntwoman who goes by the name Danielle Burgio. They were so madly in love with each other that it couldn’t be hidden from public knowledge. Sadly, the love wasn’t strong enough to get them committed to each other in marriage. They got divorced when people were expecting to hear of their marriage announcement.
Mike Rowe hasn’t been associated with any other woman since after Danielle Burgio. Some sources claimed that he went as far as engaging Danielle, but he hasn’t said anything to that effect. He has remained strangely single since then without a wife and any known girlfriend. If he is seeing someone, then it must be a closely guarded secret between him, his partner, their assistants, and those closest to them.

We cannot answer for him definitely but looking at some key verified occurrences in the past, we might not be too far in understanding if he aligns with the rainbow community albeit privately.
Mike Rowe was previously in a relationship with a woman, so he can be said to have a straight sexual orientation.
The relationship lasted for a considerably long time as it should between a man and woman. It was called off by mutual consent of both parties and since then Mike has not been romantically associated with any “man” or a woman. He has simply remained on his own.
Since the controversy of his possible gay sexuality began following him up and down with his keeping mute about it, there has not been any gay man who came out to claim to be in a relationship with him.
Mke Rowe cannot be said with certainty to be gay neither is he married. At least none that we know of.
