Joe Gatto and his wife, Bessy Gatto, have become a favorite couple for fans ever since they started sharing their lives with fans on social media. So their followers were devastated in 2021 when Joe announced his split from Bessy, simultaneously announcing his departure from the show «Impractical Jokers». After seemingly patching things up, fans became interested in the couple’s relationship.

Below you will learn more about Joe’s wife, Bessy.

Bessy is 42 years old, and she married Joe in 2013 after moving to New York. While she supports Joe’s career as a comedian, Bessy has also focused on her own ambitions. She and Joe together own a shelter for disabled and abandoned dogs. The non-profit organization is called Gatto Pups & Friends and was created based on Bessy and Joe’s passion for helping elderly dogs.

«Bessy and Joe Gatto’s love for animals, especially elderly dogs, has provided a home for those who have been overlooked and unwanted», - the business website says. «Supporting many shelters and animal welfare organizations, they have dedicated their time and efforts to advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves».

Additionally, Bessy is the mother of two of Joe’s children.

No, Joe and Bessy have not officially divorced. However, they were separated for a period of time. Almost two years after Joe announced in December 2021 that he and Bessy had «decided to peacefully part ways», the comedian announced their reconciliation on Instagram.

«10 years ago, when we started, I could never have imagined the absolutely insane journey with ups and downs that our marriage has endured. But there has always been love», - Joe captioned a post on Instagram in September 2023 alongside Bessy. «And I know there is no one else I’d rather have by my side. I love your compassion, your resilience, and your laughter. Thank you for this decade. And I am happy and hopeful that we can live through a few more, because we have proven that with compassion, forgiveness, and an open heart we can get through. Together. Looking forward to more, including laughing together, making memories with our incredible family, and of course… dogs. Love you so much, Mrs. Gatto».

At the time of publication, Joe and Bessy apparently are still married. However, fans began speculating about the status of their relationship when a woman accused him of sexual assault in March 2025. Joe denied the allegations of assault, but announced that he was taking a break from public attention.

For her part, Bessy seemed to have deactivated or deleted her Instagram profile.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, please call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1−800−656-HOPE (4673). A trained staff member will provide confidential, impartial support, as well as local resources to help with healing, recovery, etc
