Mark was the crush of many girls back in the early 1990s. No surprise there! Although the American actor was wanted by millions of girls, his wife, Catriona McGinn, was not one of them.
Paul married Catriona in 2012, almost one year after his divorce from his first wife, Lisa Ann Russell. The American’s current project is a series by NBC, “Found”. He does not care for any of the attention that he received in his early career.
Mark is happily married to his wife, Catriona McGinn, and has four kids with her. The American actor once said in an interview that he loves what he does for work and he is proud of being a husband and a father. He quote unquote said:
I feel so blessed that I have a job, and I get to do what I do because I love what I do. But I just see myself as a husband and a father, and that’s my day. And they could care less what I do, right?
Mark-Paul Gosselaar: How They Met
The actor from “Saved by the Bell” revealed that his wife Catriona did not know about the career he had. According to Mark, his wife met him without knowing that he was a famous actor. Their first meeting was when Catriona went to see the show of her friend who appeared to be the co-star of Gosselaar. He stated:
She knew my costar on another show — on a show that I was on, it was called Raising the Bar, and she knew one of the costars. And she didn’t even know that I was on the show ‘cause her friend was on the show. She was like, Yeah, you were in the way. I was, like, fast-forwarding to see my friend and you just happened to be the guy that was on a lot.
His acting career on Saved by the Bell in the 90s propelled him to stardom, particularly among female fans. During an interview, Mark was asked if his wife knew he was considered “everybody’s crush.” He responded humorously, revealing that he wasn’t actually her crush.
Catriona McGinn works in the advertising industry. She completed her education at McGill University in Quebec, Canada. Previously, she was the General Manager of the advertising company, Nielson BDSradio. McGinn and her team were solely responsible for the marketing and sales of the company.
