Where Is Geraldo Rivera’s Daughter, Isabella Holmes Rivera, Now?

Particularly, there are no answers if Isabella Holmes is actively pursuing her career in journalism. But as reported, she worked as a CNN producer and later joined Fox News. Her father stated her as a “#FoxNews colleague” on his Twitter in November 2016, while wishing her 24th birthday.

Did Isabella Holmes Rivera Get Married?

While her elder brothers are married & have a family of their own, many wonder if Rivera, in her 30s, has also settled down now. However, there is no confirmation whether she exchanged vows or not.

Most probably, she is not married. Why & how do we tell? Well, her father, Geraldo, barely misses to mention any family members on his Twitter (now X), and often mentions her brothers’ wives & their kids. And if there would be any, he would’ve shared anything regarding his daughter and her milestones for everyone to see.

So, guesses are she may not have a husband, that’s why the patriarch Rivera doesn’t mention her conjugal life. Even if not official, it’s somewhat convincing though!

Daughter Of Geraldo And His Ex-Wife, Cynthia

Born on November 2, 1992, Rivera is the daughter of Geraldo Rivera and Cynthia Cruickshank Dyer. She is 3rd child of 5 of her journalist father, and the eldest daughter among 3. As of 2023, Isabella is 31 years old.

She grew up in a doting environment, however, the happy familial moment didn’t last forever. When she was 8, her parents divorced.

Isabella’s Mother, Cynthia, Was Geraldo’s Fourth Wife

Cynthia Cruickshank Dyer is very famously known to be the fourth wife of Geraldo Rivera. The former couple met while she was a young producer from Marion, Massachusetts. Geraldo Rivera was still married at the time when the former couple fell in love after meeting at work.

They got married on July 11, 1987, and had two beautiful girls.

Dyer’s mother had even warned her many times to not get into a relationship with a man who was already married. Cynthia had a hard time when they first got together but there was nothing she couldn’t handle.

Downfall Of Relationship & Divorce

Isabella’s mother wanted more children after having two daughters, however, it became hard for her to conceive. Cynthia and Geraldo tried six times to get pregnant through IVF but every pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.

Many had speculated he was abusive and would not treat his wife right. People also have been saying, the only reason they got pregnant six times was because Geraldo wanted a son. This was speculated to be the reason for their divorce after 13 years of marriage. They went their separate ways in 2000.

• Sheryl Raymond (third wife):  Sheryl was Geraldo’s third wife. She was known to also be a producer from ABC. They married in 1976 & remained together for 7 years before divorcing in 1984.
