Among them, Fanone had even suffered a near-death experience in the riot.
Michael Fanone Was Married To Wife Hsin-Yi Wang
Previously, Michael Fanone was married to wife Hsin-Yi Wang. Unfortunately, the relationship didn’t last long.
Hsin-Yi, aka Victoria Wang, used to Work in Washington DC as an executive assistant. Coincidentally, Michael and Victoria met each other at a bar.
After dating for some time, Fanone finally asked Victoria to be his wife. Likewise, the two were reportedly enjoying a meal at Park Cafe in Capitol Hill when the officer dropped the marriage question.
On June 5, 2010, Fanone and Wang finally said “I do” to each other. In addition, the couple added two beautiful daughters in the family named Piper Fanone and Seraphina Ming Fanone.
The former husband-wife are now officially divorced for some undisclosed reasons.
Nonetheless, the officer seems to have moved on from his past. He apparently has 2 more daughters now.
