Becky Quick is married to a CNBC big shot.

Becky is a familiar face at CNBC, as the head of CNBC's Squawk Box for decades. But her husband is a pretty familiar face around the office as well.

She's married to Matt Qayle, whose LinkedIn says he is the Senior Executive Producer of CNBC's Power Lunch & U.S. Markets Edition.

Becky isn't his direct subordinate at Squawk Box, but they likely see each other around the workplace from time to time. According to Becky's IMDb, they have been married since 2008.

Prior to marrying Matt, Becky was married to Kevin Cahillane.

They both keep their private social media accounts locked down, but Becky gave her husband a proud shout-out on X (formerly Twitter) in 2020 when he was acknowledged as a "Business News Visionary." Becky quoted a post acknowledging his accomplishment, writing, "Incredibly proud of my husband."

Becky Quick shares two children with her husband, Matt Qayle.

The two share more than a career locale in common. They have two children together: Kyle Nathanial Qayle, whom they welcomed in 2011, and Kayle Noelle Qayle, who was born in 2016.

Although they have a loving and happy family, little Kayle has had a difficult start to life.

In an article published by CNBC, Becky talked openly about Kayle's challenges. She shared that Kayle was a "typical" child for the first few months of her life, behaving and developing on track. But around 7 months old, she wrote, Kaylie began to show some signs of delayed development.

At first, she was diagnosed with "global development delays."

But after some digging by her medical team, little Kayle was diagnosed with autism and SYNGAP1 disorder, a rare genetic disorder that affects brain and physical development.

As a result, she can struggle with movement, needing a stroller for aid, and occasionally has seizures. Becky shared, "She has apraxia, which means that even though she struggles to speak, she has very high receptive language and, I think, understands most of what is going on around her."

Although Kaylie has faced numerous challenges, Becky mused, "We are some of the luckiest ones. We have resources to pay for help and access to the best care and therapists. And doctors and companies call me back because of my public position."

And although Kaylie will likely face these challenges her whole life, her parents are in an excellent position to help and support her.
