Anthony Fauci has been married to his wife, Christine Grady, for 35 years. Per The Journal of Clinical Investigation, the couple met in 1983 and tied the knot in 1985. Grady is the Chief of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. In an interview with the Financial Times in 2015, Fauci talked about Grady with evident pride, calling her a “triple threat.” He said, “She went to school to get her PhD in philosophy, worked, and had three children . . . We met over the bed of a patient.”
Grady worked with AIDS patients, even while pregnant. In a 1997 interview with the National Institute of Health, she described hear fears of being susceptible: “In 1986, when I was pregnant and was working in the area, there was still confusion about whether or not it was safe, whether pregnancy was an issue in terms of immunosusceptibility or something like that.” Thankfully, everything went well and she was able to care for her patients and had three healthy daughters.
Now, Grady, 67, worries about her 79-year old husband and his busy schedule, especially now. Grady said about Fauci to CNBC Make It: “I try to get him to rest, to drink water, to eat well, to sleep, and to be selective about what he agrees to and say no to some things.”
