As a devoted fan of Nia Vardalos, I’ve been following her journey for years, and it brings me immense joy to see her finding happiness once more. The way she met her new love, Spiros Katsagans, in Greece under a full moon at an outdoor restaurant is nothing short of magical – truly straight out of a fairy tale!


Nia Vardalos, 62, of My Big Fat Greek Wedding is going strong with her new boyfriend.

At the 2024 Academy Museum Gala held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on Saturday night, they were spotted together on the red carpet, making a seldom appearance.

The two hit the red carpet together only about once a year. 

It’s Spiros Katsagans, a native of Athens, Greece, who has been her secret boyfriend for more than a year. They first crossed paths in the year 2022, at an open-air restaurant, when their encounter took place after she finished filming My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3.

Six years ago, she separated from her husband of more than two decades, actor Ian Gomez, with whom she shares a teenage daughter.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Nia’s rep for more information about her boyfriend.

The comedienne, actress and producer beamed while next to her man.

The movie icon had on a gold/yellow satin dress as she added yellow gold jewelry. He had on a black tuxedo with a white shirt.

This is not their first red carpet, however.

At the 3rd Annual Academy Museum Gala held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on December 3, 2023, in Los Angeles, they stood together; however, their demeanor suggested more of a friendly relationship rather than romantic interest.

In September 2023 she told People she was in a relationship who lives in Athens, Greece. 

They ran into each other ‘in the most romantic way possible’ in 2022, she told the site. 

On a night bathed by a full moon, we found each other at an alfresco eatery in Greece. It felt as if I had scripted a film and stepped right onto its set, expressed the veteran from Tinseltown.

She was in Greece after she finished filming My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3.

And the timing was great because she was done with work 

She humorously suggested that when filming, one should strive for a polished and flawless appearance, much like a Barbie doll in terms of smoothness.

‘You have no sexuality whatsoever. No. 

When making a movie, one simply moves through it, focusing on completing tasks. There’s no room for emotional outbursts. Therefore, I don’t support forming relationships while working on a film production, she explained.

At the time she would not name him.

‘I’ve learned to keep things private,’ she offered.

I’m making an effort to keep my current relationship discreet so that its unique charm remains undisturbed.

She split from husband, actor Ian Gomez, in 2018 after more than two decades of marriage. 

They share teen daughter Ilaria with her ex.

After the split she took time off from dating.

Vardalos stated, “I made an effort to avoid contemplating myself in that manner since adolescents typically aren’t interested nor wish to learn about what their mothers are up to. I believe a teenager ought to be self-focused and live their life with their own thoughts as the primary concern.

Vardalos’s ex Gomez, who played a in the first two movies, did not want to return.

She was not hurt but rather ‘stumped,’ she said.
