Antonio Sabàto Jr. is an Italian-American actor, model, and television personality, born to Italian film star Antonio Sabàto Sr. and Czech-born Yvonne Kabouchy. His maternal lineage includes a Czech aristocrat and a Holocaust survivor, reflecting a rich and resilient heritage. Rising to fame in the 1990s as a Calvin Klein underwear model, Antonio became a household name through his role as Jagger Cates on General Hospital and later starred in The Help on the WB.
A devoted father, he shares daughter Mina Bree with longtime partner Kristin Rosetti and son Antonio Harvey Sabàto III with Cheryl Moana Marie Nunes. Antonio is a passionate collector of Batman memorabilia, owns a custom Batman motorbike, and sports a hidden tattoo of a yellow moon with a black Batman symbol. He’s known for his adventurous spirit—skydiving, racing cars, and exploring art galleries—and maintains strong ties to his Italian roots in Rome, Palermo, and Sardinia.
Antonio does not drink or smoke, and his charisma earned him the 2008 Fox Reality Channel Really Award for “Favorite Hottie” following his win on Celebrity Circus. A former boyfriend of Nicolette Scorsese, he has also made headlines for his political endorsements and public appearances.
