If you’re a fan of the Million Dollar Listing franchise, then you’re likely familiar with real estate developer Zach Vella. He’s made multiple appearances on Million Dollar Listing: New York and even popped up on Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles in August 2020. The NYC native is kind of a big deal in the real estate industry — and naturally, Bravo viewers have wondered: Does Zach Vella have a wife?
As the CEO of Vella Group, LLC, and Skylark Capital Management, LLC, Zach has developed properties in major cities across the nation — including New York City, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami. His work is pretty spread out, obviously. But Zach seems to manage juggling his busy career and his family life (which includes a wife and two children) pretty well.
Let’s take a closer look at the identity of Zach’s wife, shall we?
Zach Vella’s proposal to his wife was seriously romantic.
Zach proposed to Michelle after they had been dating for two and a half years.
“It was Christmas Eve in New York, and we were planning a date night out at the Italian restaurant Marea,” Michelle told Vogue in September 2015. “As I was getting ready, Zach asked me to meet him in the living room of our apartment for a drink at 7:00 p.m. sharp, which was a bit fishy, as neither of us are punctual people.”
Michelle walked downstairs to the sound of Frank Sinatra playing, candles burning, and champagne chilling. That’s when Zach suggested they each open one gift ahead of dinner. When it was Michelle’s turn, he gave her a large, wrapped box — and inside it was another smaller box.
“In that box was another box, and in my head I was really hoping it wasn’t earrings. He took the box from me, got down on his knee, and asked if I would marry him,” Michelle explained. “I was crying so hard, it was difficult to get out my answer.”
The newly engaged couple celebrated with drinks at The Carlyle. “It was the most memorable New York winter night,” she told the publication.
