Aaron Marino Biography (Age)
Aaron was born in the United States of America on May 19, 1976. Since he is required to keep his family life away from public view, little is known about his divorced parents. He is an only child and had two stepfathers with whom he did not get along. His mother gave him a fitness membership card at age 13 which he says changed his life. It is also evident that he adores her.
His fashion craze apparently started at an early age as he recalls his first day in kindergarten when he wore bands around the ankle of his jeans. At age 7, he got his hair cut and quickly cut for the kids in his neighborhood. It’s no wonder he was voted “best dressed” in high school despite shopping at thrift stores. He attended college in West Virginia, earned a business degree, and moved to Atlanta, Georgia.
In Georgia, he got a job at Bally where he met his future business partner. The duo opened a nutrition store, but Aaron was tricked when he succeeded and left with low self-esteem. After receiving advice, he became part owner of another nutrition store, but left while his partner was selling drugs in the back. At this point, he set out to fulfill his dream of being a coach. He met and helped a lady get rid of overweight problems and they jointly opened a gymnasium which eventually closed due to financial and legal issues.
The good thing about the fitness center was that he met a man, Steve, who asked his advice on what to wear for a date. This started her journey as a stylist.
Who is Aaron Marino’s wife? Is he gay?
Aaron Marino got married to Tracey Woodard Marino in 2007. They were together for five years before getting married and it has been eleven years. She was not seen in public because Aaron insists he opened up and not her. They don’t have any children together yet.
Tracey was born on January 22, 1976. According to her LinkedIn profile, she is a seasoned business development and marketing professional. Having worked in the past with Smallwood Reynolds Stewart Stewart, Precision 2000, Inc. and Contour Engineering, LLC, she is currently Director of Corporate Marketing at NOVA Engineering and Environmental, LLC.
It is expected that as a man running a style blog, Aaron is bound to get some advances from the gay community and even be labeled as such. This perception is further reinforced by her appearance in some videos as a “drag queen”. He once said that his wife liked to joke that he was a gay guy with a straight penis. And that’s all there is to it!
Her size
Aaron stands at a height of 5 feet 6 inches and by society standards he is a short man. However, he is a short man with a lot of confidence who has continued to build the same in other seemingly short men and others. He would have been one of the few short men to take pride in his height and flaunt it.
