Gia Ruiz met her husband Danny McBride, before he became the popular and celebrated actor that he is today. According to several reports, the couple met on the set of Danny’s hit HBO series – Eastbound & Down, where Gia worked as an art assistant. This unconfirmed notion might be incorrect as Danny himself, according to Rolling Stone Magazine, revealed that they met in 2002 at a Super Bowl Party in LA and soon began to date.

Danny, who was then frustrated with his none existent job prospects, had already made plans to move back to North Carolina. He did take the trip to North Carolina with Gia in tow and came right back to Los Angeles with her as he couldn’t bear the thought of losing such a ‘great girl’.

Gia and Danny have now been happily married for about 13 years. McBride often talks about his wife, explaining that she is his biggest supporter. From the series of interviews he has given, it is obvious that Gia is the center that holds Danny and their family. His life totally changed for the better after he met her, as he now has a sense of purpose and responsibility.

Another interesting detail about Gia and her husband is that they were born in the same year (1976). While Gia was born in May, Danny was born in December of the same year, which means she is older than him by about six months.
