The Toronto-native is a veteran television journalist, reporter, and anchor for CTV National News, Canada’s most-watched news broadcast. She was the first woman in Canadian journalism who dared to walk shoulder to shoulder with men and thus, pave the path for future-women trying to break into journalism.

Sandie Loyally: Husband Paramount To Her Success

All the feats she was able to achieve, Sandie couldn’t have done so had it not been for her supportive husband, Michael Rinaldo. On her every stumble, he was there to balance her, and on her every sprint, he was there cheering her from the sideline.

Due to the tragic nature of life, her husband died in 2005 after a long struggle against cancer. However, she remains loyal to him even today which is evidenced her frequent statements on how important he was to her success.

The best advice I can give any woman or person who wants to have a family and have a career is, choose your partner wisely. When my kids were young, I was able to walk out the door and go to work on the weekends knowing that my children were being taken care of by a father who loved them and provided physical and intellectual nourishment -Sandie credits her husband (theglobeandmail.com; 23 June 2013)

What is even more significant evidence of her loyalty is that after about 13 years after the death of her husband, Sandie is still single and not willing to commit with anyone else.

Her grief was lessened by their three children, all daughters; all of whom have grown into beautiful women—possibly as a headstrong as their mother.

Plastic Surgery Rumors, Did Sandie Get One?

The fact that at the age of 68 Sandie still looks quite fresh- like a young woman at the peak of her womanhood- gave rise to the rumors that she might have gone through plastic surgery.

While plastic surgery has become very common, especially for the people on television, there is no concrete evidence that Sandie might have gotten one.

To be honest, one can't think of Sandie going through a plastic surgery since she is already an established journalist and not actually looking for a husband. However, if she did get plastic surgery, it was probably to boost her morale, which must be a little down since her husband passed away.
