Who Is Michael Imperioli's Wife? All About Victoria Imperioli (and the Side Hustle She and “The Sopranos” Actor Share!)

Michael Imperioli, known for his roles in The White Lotus and The Sopranos, has been married to Victoria Imperioli since 1996.

Since then, the longtime couple welcomed two children together, sons Vadim and David. Michael is also a stepfather to Victoria's daughter, Isabella, from a previous relationship.

Michael and Victoria are no strangers to partnering in a professional capacity as well. In 2009, Victoria produced The Hungry Ghosts, which was written and directed by her husband. The couple teamed up again 14 years later to launch their New York City bar Scarlet in December 2023.

Though Michael and Victoria mainly keep their love life away from the public eye, the actor has shared a few tributes to his wife over the years, including a sweet post celebrating their 24th wedding anniversary in 2020. “OUR WEDDING DAY. 24 YEARS AGO TODAY. Love you so so much. Can’t imagine what I’d be without you," he wrote in the caption.

So who is Michael Imperioli’s wife? Here's everything to know about Victoria Imperioli and her relationship with the actor.

Victoria is a director and producer

Victoria is a multidisciplinary artist whose skills range from interior design to directing and producing, per her website.

Some of her work includes reimagining an unfinished commercial space into Studio Dante, an Off-Broadway theater in New York City, in 2004 and decorating a room for the Kips Bay Show House in 2007. Victoria served as co-artistic director for the former, where she designed all of their productions.

In 2009, Victoria produced and designed the set for The Hungry Ghosts, while also producing the film Circledrawers the same year. She has also been directing music videos for indie-rock band ZOPA since 2021.

Michael has spoken to his wife's creative talents before, telling SouthJersey.com in 2000 that she possesses "many" skills.

"She`s the most amazing person I've ever met; someone who can translate a book from French and build beautiful pieces of furniture," he said. "I have a couple of skills, but she has many, many. When we met, we had nothing in common, yet everything in common."

Victoria and Michael met in the 1990s in New York

Michael and Victoria met in the 1990s while the former was getting his footing in acting. The two crossed paths in the Chelsea neighborhood of N.Y.C., where Victoria owned a bar, Ciel Rouge.

“At one point, we lived above it, which I don’t recommend to anybody – owning a bar and living upstairs like [Humphrey Bogart]’s Rick in Casablanca,” Michael told The Independent in 2023.

They share three children

Victoria and Michael share two sons, Vadim and David, as well as Isabella, Victoria’s daughter from a previous relationship.

Michael and Victoria have kept their children largely out of the spotlight, but the actor has been open about how becoming a father replaced acting as his priority, telling SouthJersey.com that his family always comes first.

"I love my wife and children ... they're so much more important than acting," he said. "No longer No. 1 as a self-absorbed and driven actor, I'm now No. 4 and fading.”

Now that their kids are adults, Victoria and Michael have become empty nesters — and they're loving it.

“My wife and I are empty nesters now, which is really fabulous, by the way, no offense to my kids," the actor joked to NPR in December 2022.

Victoria is an accomplished interior designer

Victoria began her professional career as an interior designer, with work featured in cover stories for Architectural Digest, House Beautiful and InStyle, per her website.

Twenty years after their home was first highlighted in the outlet, Architectural Digest took another look at Victoria and Michael’s abode — this time a two-bedroom apartment in N.Y.C.

The outlet described their style as “Old World chic," adding that the space was reminiscent of their former New York City home, which was showcased on the March 2003 cover of Architectural Digest.

Victoria, who designed the apartment herself, said she was inspired by her travels with Michael as well as The White Lotus set in Taormina, Sicily, where Michael filmed season 2.

“When we travel in Europe, we feel like we always fit right in because there’s so much history," Victoria told the outlet. "There’s so much imbued with a very profound sense of beauty.”

She added that the building’s history as a former hotel inspired her, as she designed the space to be reminiscent of “a beautiful hotel suite.”

“Now that we have no kids living with us, I just wanted something that’s sexy," Victoria said.

Victoria and Michael opened a bar together

The Hollywood duo teamed up with Jeremy Wladis, a restaurateur known for Good Enough to Eat and Harvest Kitchen, to create their new bar and restaurant, Scarlet, in the Upper West Side neighborhood of N.Y.C., in December 2023.

“Victoria and I are thrilled to be bringing to the Upper West Side the distinctive vibe and mood that made our previous lounge, Ciel Rouge, so beloved by the denizens of downtown NYC,” Michael told Eater ahead of the lounge's opening. “Scarlet offers an elegant and transportive atmosphere ... and a certain magic that only Victoria can create.“

Victoria decorated the space, using red hues to give it a “French wartime” vibe, per the outlet.

Alongside classic cocktails, Scarlet also serves a special drink called the White Lotus.
