How exactly like us is Maria Menounos?


Maria Menounos proves to be just like us thanks to the husband Kevin Undergarothere are many nicknames for her.

“So Keven in the early days called me Froggy,” the 46-year-old TV host exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “That went away after I stopped being cute, I started being an A girl … that’s what he says.”

Menounos jokes that Undergaro’s nicknames for her went from cute to annoying as their relationship grew.

Each of our dogs had 50 names and Kevin likes to mess with me,” she shares. “So we’ll go to Chili’s for dinner and the woman will say, ‘Oh, how much?'” He’ll say, ‘One.’ He’ll say “Two, one bitch.” And the waitress is always like “What?”
