David Asman's Married Life with Wife Marta

Asman has been in an enduring marriage with his wife Marta Cecilia for over three decades.

The television personality first met the love of his life while traveling to Central America in 1984.

He was in Managua covering Central American politics and economics for The Wall Of Street. A lawyer named Roger Guevara introduced him to Marta at a dinner party.

At the time, Marta already had a son named Felipe from her previous relationship. But her motherhood didn't stop the reporter from falling in love with her. 

So much so he helped her and her son flee from the Sandinistas. Luckily, they made it to New York sound and safe. 

The duo got married in 1989. After three years, he and his wife welcomed their daughter Kristiana Asman in July 1992.

David surely has a beautiful family and shares a lovely bond with all of them. 

David Asman's Kids Have Made Him Proud

Asman's stepson Felipe is a member of the U.S. Marine Corps. As the father of a patriot, Asman dedicated his op-ed column on the Fox News site to his stepson on July 4, 2016. 

He remembered the struggle of his son as an immigrant. 

When a communist dictatorship threatened to force Felipe into military servitude at the age of seven, he left Nicaragua with his mother in November 1988 to start a new life with Asman. 

Even though Felipe found it tough to speak English and adapt to the cold weather, he soon grew to love America and his new family. He was also interested in joining the U.S. military.

Further, into the story, Asman recounted his proud moment when Felipe became a U.S. citizen while fighting for his country in Iraq. He concluded the story with a blessing for his stepson and all the immigrant patriots.

In a Twitter post dated November 2021, Asman recalled a heartfelt moment he had with his stepson regarding his interest in the military, quoting,

When I asked him why he would be willing to sacrifice his life for a country that bungled his papers, he simply told me: 'I want to earn my citizenship.' 

While Asman proudly shares about his son on his socials, he also timely posts updates about his daughter, Kristiana.

He gushed about his daughter's wedding that took place on May 19, 2018. He even expressed his happiness over becoming a grandfather when his daughter gave birth to her first son on November 12, 2020.

On her first Mother's Day, Asman tweeted a video of his grandson and hoped all mother and their kids would share the joy expressed by his daughter and grandson.
