He is an American by nationality and of Jewish ethnic extraction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He was born to parents Robert Kass and Valentine Hertz Kass, who were both educators. While his father worked at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, where he tutored Malia Obama, his mother worked at the National Science Foundation before working at the Museum of Science and Industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alex Wagner&#8217;s husband was raised in a very stable home in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. For his education, he went to the Lab Schools, and then he proceeded to Kansas Community School before joining Triton College. From there, Sam went to the University of Chicago, where he obtained a degree in History.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While he was growing up, Alex Wagner&#8217;s husband fell in love with sports, and he played collegiate baseball before he later switched to the culinary business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When Was Alex Wagner&#8217;s Wedding?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alex Wagner and Sam Kass had their wedding in 2014, even though their relationship began 11 years before. The lovely couple&#8217;s paths crossed for the first time after they were introduced to each other by Richard Wolffe, who worked as a commentator for MSNBC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This happened when Kass saw Wagner at an event in the White House.

Wolffe assured Sam to take his eyes off Alex because it was not going to happen as she was way above his head, but the man pestered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wolffe finally succumbed, and they met for the first time at the Monkey Bar in New York. They instantly fell in love. Another thing that worked for them was their love for the Washington Nationals. They were not together for a long time before deciding they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The couple\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/reliable-source\/wp\/2013\/09\/27\/sam-kass-alex-wagner-engaged\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">got engaged<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0in September 2013, and then they got married on August 31, 2014, which means they&#8217;ve been married for 9 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Their elaborate wedding took place at the Blue Hill at Stone Barns restaurant in Pocantico Hills, New York, and it witnessed the attendance of some important personalities, including former President Barack Obama and his wife Mitchelle and their two daughters.

According to Sam, his kid, who is now 6 years old, weighed 7 lbs at birth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The couple had their second son, Rafa, whose birth name is Rafael Thiha Kass, in May 2019.
