Cassie Roma Husband
She was previously married to her former husband, Ted. She is now proudly gay and a big supporter of the queer community, Cassie says she was 35 when she came out to him.
“He was the first person I told,” she shares. “Breaking that bond of a heteronormative relationship and changing our family was hard, but he was so good about it. He’s an old-school rugby player and he’s 15 years my elder, but when I told him, we both cried.”She said in an interview with Sebastian van der Zwan of https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment.
“He said, ‘This is your secret to keep and I will hold it strong for you until you are ready.” And he did just that. I’d trusted him for the 15 years we were in a relationship and to know that trust, even in a time of heartbreak and pain, was going to move forward, set us up for the strong relationship we have now, co-parenting a 16-year-old.
“My ex-husband and I are now very close – even closer than when we were married.” At the same time, as she came out, Cassie’s style changed – she stopped wearing her usual business suits and heels, and also quit straightening her trademark blonde ‘fro.
“I was straight for so long, so when I came out, everything was a little curly, not just my hair!” she quips. “I wore makeup that didn’t suit me and it used to take me 40 minutes every morning to get ready, but I came to a realization that I didn’t have to play a certain part. I finally felt so powerful in myself and I figured that if somebody didn’t like my boots, my double denim, or my tattoos – if they were going to judge me for those – then screw them! They’re not the people I want to work with.”
Cassie Roma Daughter
She has one child, a daughter named Chelsea. She is a videographer and video editor.
Cassie Roma Family
In an interview with Sebastian van der Zwan of https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment, she said “I brought a picture of my grandma and I to CTI.” She’s my hero and she’s tattooed right here on my arm. She’s with me every day, which I think she’d be stoked about. She was an Englishwoman who moved to a German-speaking town of 200 people in the middle of Missouri just after World War II. She was a storyteller and she taught me to tell stories.”
She was my protector when I was a kid. In her eighties, she would still call me up on the phone and be like, ‘Did you see Eminem singing with Elton John at the MTV Music Awards?’ She was my soulmate.”
Her grandmother’s name was Roma and when Cassie split from her ex-husband, she took that as her surname as a tribute. A tear running down her cheek, Cassie tells, “She knew my whole family would have that name before she died eight years ago.”
Cassie Roma Wife/ Partner
Cassie has since married after coming out. She is married to her wife and partner named Carly.
