Born on March 8, 1976, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, David's played ice hockey ever since he can remember, although having already given up on that part of his career. And being a US Air Force member also did a number in his romantic life. On a completely different note, as a result, his net worth has been accumulating for over two decades now. But being divorced and raising a kid isn't easy without his kind of money.

We've discussed the story of his life already, how he leaped on from his ice hockey career, met his first wife in between and then quit hockey to join the army. That would've been the best thing he did as he got to meet Jill on the way, although he went through a divorce before starting to date the actress/host.

David Lemanowicz's name clearly says he is of Polish heritage. In fact, his parents grew up in Poland but moved to Canada in 1973 to get away from the oppressive society in Poland back then. But he did grow up with ice hockey around, despite not growing up in a typical Canadian boy. He chose to be a goaltender.

His first record of playing hockey goes back to 1991/92 with 'Kelowna Spartans' and played in the high school level for the next four years, specifically for Spokane Chiefs having the favorite season in the final year, 1995/96. By then, he was already drafted by #218 in round 9 of the overall 1995 NHL Entry Draft by the Florida Panthers. So he moved on to the NHL.

His hockey playing days were over a decade ago.

When with Carolina Monarchs in the first season [1996/97], David met Jill for the first time as a 20-year-old. She was 17. He played for different teams for about three pro seasons and decided to take a 5-year "retirement" from the sport to complete his college. He went to the University of Toronto and met Gina there.

They dated for about five years and got married in 2005 before heading back to his pro hockey career again. For four years until the 2007/08 season, he continued playing for different teams, even going to Poland at one point. But despite having a stellar career for the time, he was not happy of having 45 shots at him every night (terrible defense) and was facing an impossible battle with the coach, "who backstabbed to the point I felt I was living in a bizarre world."

It made him retire as he quit the game in its entirety that season at 32. Throughout his career, he earned quite pretty, with almost half a million every year. The other records are not available, but during the 1996-97 season with the Monarchs, he earned around $425,000 for his first pro-league. It's about $693,000 in today's money. It's safe to say he earned at least half a million as salary for each of his latter pro-seasons.

Away with the Army Might've Put a Strain on His First Marriage

After leaving hockey behind, he trained for months to get into the US Army. If you're confused about how a Canadian was able to apply for the US Army, he applied for American citizenship when he married his first wife, Gina, in 2005. He was commissioned Lt. David Lemanowicz of the US Army Reserve after nine months of training.

The former couple also had a kid on the way. Daughter Lija was born on February 16, 2010, the child you often see on Jill's Instagram page. Then he was off traveling the world. In one of the morale-boosting entertainment courses, Jill coincidentally attended his station in Afghanistan to present at the event.

He was still married at the time, but it was something that made him realize how great they would've been together had he not left without a sign after three dates almost 20 years ago. But that was it. They didn't know when they would meet up next.

However, fate (or a psychic, whatever) has a funny way of getting two people together. He was divorced sometime after that and was visiting his daughter in Vancouver when Jill was also about to leave the city after her work in 'Christmas Cookies'. Before going out of a restaurant, she got called by David. The fortune-teller had everything right as the rest became history.

So yeah, they dated since May 2016 and were engaged only two months later in July 2016. They also moved together in less than a year into dating in December 2016, with daughter Lija also living with them when he's got custody.

The house they live in is in the peaceful countryside of Tennessee. It's surrounded by farms of several animals. They announced the sale of their house, i.e., them buying the house, on Christmas 2016. They still live there today. In fact, they celebrated their third wedding anniversary in complete isolation during the worldwide lockdown.
