celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary!
Czarniak celebrated the occasion by writing a heartfelt dedication to her husband on Instagram. The post included a photo of them smiling as they posed alongside two carved-out Halloween pumpkins.
The second image in the thread was a throwback from their wedding day, where they were seen dancing together. During those years, the duo welcomed two children.
COUPLE’S BIRACIAL CHILDREN
On March 11, 2014, Melvin and his wife became parents for the first time when they welcomed son Delano Joseph Melvin. Czarniak shared a Twitter image of her cradling her son in a hospital bed.
Melvin also took to Twitter to share his own photo posing with the newborn baby. In the caption, he joked about Delano already being displeased with his father and shared that the boy arrived at 6:36 a.m.
The couple added another addition to their family on November 5, 2016, when the “SportsCenter” anchor birthed their daughter Sybil “Sibby” Ann Melvin at 12:20 p.m.
In May 2021, Melvin and his wife were interviewed by Parents about the challenges of parenting biracial children. The news anchor revealed that his children hadn’t started asking many questions yet.
However, he recalled an incident when Delano commented while watching TV that he had black skin and was Black while his sister was white like their mother. Czarniak informed the child that he and his sister were actually both Black.
Melvin noted that society would view both children as Black and that it was complicated. In a February 2022 “Today” article, the TV anchor shared that he was raised not to see people’s skin colors but their actions and thoughts; however, he was afraid that not all people were brought up the same way.
