The new addition was born in Las Vegas, weighing 6 lbs. 12 oz., bringing even more magic into the Franco household. Mat and Tianna tied the knot on August 22, 2019, in a beautiful ceremony described as a “tropical oasis” celebration in Laguna Beach, California.
Their love story began almost a decade before their wedding when they met as college students at the University of Rhode Island. Mat’s admiration for Tianna shines through as he shares, “I wake up every day and I find out a new reason [why] she’s the one,” emphasizing the deep connection they share. Tianna reciprocates the sentiment, admitting that she still gets butterflies whenever Mat calls her, illustrating the enduring love they have for each other.
As Mat and Tianna embrace the journey of parenthood with their two young children, Mat is also commemorating a significant milestone in his career. Celebrating his 10th year headlining a show titled “Mat Franco: Magic Reinvented Nightly” at The LINQ Hotel + Experience on the Las Vegas Strip, Mat continues to captivate audiences with his mesmerizing magic, illusions, and card tricks. His success on America’s Got Talent in 2014 paved the way for his Vegas residency and a NBC special, “Mat Franco’s Got Magic,” in the same year, solidifying his status as a master magician.
The Franco family’s story of love, magic, and togetherness serves as an inspiring tale of balancing personal milestones with professional achievements. With both Mat and Tianna immersing themselves in their roles as parents while pursuing their passions, their journey resonates with many who believe in the power of love and dedication.
