Behar's done a lot of different movies and is mainly known for her comedy roles. The HNL host got married to her longtime boyfriend, Steve Janowitz. Here are some lesser-known facts about the celebrity husband; you might not know.

5. Steve Spent His Whole Life in High School

Steve launched his career shortly after graduation when he began working as a high school teacher, staying in the same profession for more than 45 years, until retirement. That's some commitment.

She didn't wish to have any in-laws. Both of her parents are deceased as well.

I waited until all the parents were dead. So I have no in-laws at all. He has none and I have none. 'Cause marriage is mostly about in-laws, I find. They always want you to visit them and come for lasagna.

Yeah, it's weird but somehow making a kind of sense?.

3. Steve Is Not on Any Social Media Platforms 

Unlike his famous wife, Steve Janowitz isn't active on any social platforms, including Instagram and Twitter, to date. He loves to live out of spotlight and media attendance, maintaining privacy over private life.

The retired high school teacher was never interested in attracting the media's attention and in being under the spotlight, and he prefers to spend his free time on his own or his wife's company.

He is very keen on reading and has read numerous books, while it is known that he often advised his students to read as much as they could, as there are "whole worlds to be discovered in books".

2. Steve Is a Philanthropist

Both Steve and his wife Joy are philanthropists and have volunteered on several occasions and with non-governmental organizations. They are both lovers of animals and have had three pet dogs over the years. The couple is a dog lover and owns a cute white-brown mixed colored Cockapoo breed dog 'Bernie Behar'.

The pair also postponed their marriage because they wanted the same-sex marriage to be legal.

1. Janowitz Wasn't Joy's First Choice 

Even though the pair's been together for almost three decades, Behar didn't want to get married to Steve. Joy had the hots for Wolf Isaac Blitzer, the German-born American journalist, television news anchor, and author who has been a CNN reporter since 1990 and is also the host of 'The Situation Room'.

In an interview, Behar said, "A little CNN to put you right to sleep." Fellow co-host Sunny Hostin quipped as the group laughed. Behar went on to say that she loves CNN, but Wolf Blitzer is "hypnotic" on his show, "The Situation Room."

While talking about her marriage with Steve Janowitz, Behar disclosed why she finally decided to get hitched. "I only married Steve because I got tired of waiting for Wolf Blitzer to ask me."
