Former Fox News host Geraldo Rivera appeared on The View on Thursday, in what was his first interview post-quitting the network, where he revealed that he had a “toxic relationship” with a co-host on his previous show, The Five before he decided to depart.

Rivera is an American journalist, author, and television personality known for his work in news reporting and talk shows. He has been married multiple times throughout his life, and Erica Michelle Levy is his fifth wife.

Who is Erica?

Levy was born in Shaker Heights, Ohio, and was the daughter of Nancy and the late Howard Levy, a former NBC Universal television producer.

Levy met Rivera, according to her IMDB profile, while living in New York City after graduating from college.

She was a producer on Geraldo’s CNBC programme Rivera Live by 2001, when she was 26 years old and her now-husband was 58.

Despite having a 31-year age gap, the couple quickly began dating when she appeared on his show.

The two got hitched on August 10, 2003. The couple gave birth to a daughter in 2005, who was called Solita Liliana Rivera, two years later.

Who are Rivera’s children?

Rivera has five kids with three different women.

They are Solita Liliana Rivera, Isabella Holmes, Simone Cruickshank, Cruz Grant Rivera, and Gabriel Miguel.

In 1979, Sherryl Raymond, his third wife, and Gabriel Miguel had a child.

Back in 2012, after making debatable comments regarding Trayvon Martin and his hoodie, Rivera openly acknowledged that his oldest kid was “ashamed” of him.

Cruz Grant Rivera, Rivera’s second child, was born in 1987. His mother’s identity is kept private.

Cruz Grant is the father of three little children, whose identities have been kept a secret.

When he was detained in New York City in 2018 and 2019, he garnered media attention.

His fourth wife Cynthia Cruickshank gave birth to his next two children, Isabella Holmes and Simone Cruickshank, in 1992 and 1994, respectively.
