Who Is David Muir's Partner? Photos, Rumors, and What We Actually Know
By Alexander Ross
The most persistent rumor concerning Muir's dating history involves ABC News colleague Gio Benitez. Around 2015, photographs circulated on social media showing Muir and Benitez socializing outside the newsroom, enjoying drinks, and attending industry gatherings alongside mutual colleagues. Digital chatter instantly converted professional camaraderie into an assumed clandestine romance.
The rumor had zero factual foundation. In September 2015, Benitez got engaged to lifestyle blogger and television host Tommy DiDario in Paris, and the couple married in Florida in April 2016. Benitez and DiDario have remained vocal, visible advocates for LGBTQ+ visibility throughout their marriage. Despite the definitive timeline, the internet rumor mill continues recycling the old photographs of Muir and Benitez, demonstrating how hard online gossip clings to debunked theories.
