Melvin and Czarniak met working at a local Washington, D.C. news station in 2008 and got married three years later. The couple welcomed their son, Delano, in 2014, followed by their daughter, Sybil, in 2016.

Melvin is nominated in the “Which one of these hosts is hotter than your first cup of coffee?” category for People’s Sexiest Man Alive Readers’ Choice Poll 2026 alongside CBS Mornings‘ Vladimir Duthiers and Good Morning America‘s Michael Strahan and Gio Benitez.

Czarniak took to Instagram on Monday, October 12, to campaign for her husband to win the title. “A few things: he’s an amazing dad, tremendous husband, teammate, partner. [He’s] always so supportive and encouraging, I would say,” she gushed. “He makes a mean chili. He really does. Loves to whip up dinner on occasion, as we call it. He is a pro at candle-making. He is really good at debating. This is true, and I mean in the most positive of ways.”

Czarniak continued, “But beyond that, he is someone that really cares about where he’s from, leaves people feeling really good about themselves in his presence. And beyond all those things that make him sexy on the outside — like, let’s be honest, the dimple, guys, it’s the dimple — I think it’s his character and his makeup on the inside that make us think that really, you know, he’s the sexiest man alive.”

She concluded her message by encouraging fans to vote for Melvin, stating, “He definitely is hotter than my first cup of coffee.”
