A member of his family confirmed that De Nino died suddenly earlier this week in New Jersey. His relatives are not currently releasing further information about the circumstances or cause of his death.
De Nino appeared during the second season of “Married at First Sight” in 2015. He entered the experiment as a 29-year-old businessman and was paired with Jessica Castro, whom he met for the first time when they exchanged vows at the altar.

Following his death, De Nino’s sister Melissa shared an emotional tribute expressing how profoundly the loss had changed her life. The message offered a glimpse into the grief now facing those closest to him.
His sudden passing adds another tragic chapter to the history of the long-running reality franchise. For now, his family appears focused on mourning privately while withholding additional details about what happened.
