Who are Theo Rossi's parents?

Although there's no information online about Theo Rossi's father, we do know that his mother is Mary Jane Tomasino. Mary was actually an associate producer on the 2015 film Bad Hurt, which just happened to have her son Theo among the star-studded cast!

Theo himself is a father of two sons, Kane and Arlo. The actor wrote on his Instagram for Father's Day 2021 – "Happy Pops day to all my examples. Whether it be the human or animal kind. Keep being the light that teaches and leads."

The Emily the Criminal star resides in Austin, TX with his wife, entrepreneur Meghan McDermott Rossi. The couple met when Theo was an ambassador for the Boot Campaign, a charity Meghan worked for, per a People report.

Theo and Meghan tied the knot in November 2014. Per Hollywood Mask, it was unclear when the couple actually started dating, and they got married in a private, intimate ceremony in New York City.
