Tony Gonzalez is married to October Gonzalez, who is the daughter of Native American musician Pat Vegas and a singer mother. Born in October 1980, in Southern California, October “Tobie” Gonzalez is a TV personality, philanthropist, and actress. Being from a musician family, she also was a singer, who followed music as her avocation in her early days. But October’s life wasn’t so easy and smooth earlier.

Yes! Tony Gonzalez’s wife had a chaotic childhood life. Her father, who was the Redbone frontman, left the family when she was young. On the other hand, her mother was addicted to some substances, and hence, most of the time, October had to take care of her mom. When Vegas left, October’s mom remarried to her stepfather. But things got worse after that! According to the reports, Gonzalez’s wife’s stepfather also struggled with addictions, which resulted in multiple domestic violence disturbances.

The couple married each other in 2007 and since then they have had three children together; daughter Malia and son River who are 16 and 14 respectively, and toddler Sophia. Along with them, October is also a stepmom to Nikko (Tony and Lauren Sanchez’s son).

Despite this, October and Tony Gonzalez still spend a lot of time together with the couple, Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos.
