Who is Eliza Dushku's husband? Eliza Dushku has worn a lot of hats in her career. She's and actor and producer, she's done roles in TV and movies, she's worked on Broadway and in video games. She's even done documentaries and music videos. And last month she added the title of wife to her impressive resume.
In an Instagram post on September 17, the actress announced that she and Peter Palandjian tied the knot in Massachusetts back in August. The couple had been engaged since June of 2018.
But ... who is Peter Palandjian? Read on to find out more.
1. New England born
Like Dushku, Palandjian is native to Massachusetts. He was born in Boston and attended the prestigous Phillips Andover Academy for high school.
2. Tennis pro
Palandjian played tennis when he was at Harvard and was even captain of the university tennis team. After he graduated, he went pro and won a number of doubles titles on the ATP tour. He partnered with Grand Slam champ Jim Courier at times. He retired from the sport in 1989.
3. That was easy
After leaving tennis, he began a business career, working first at Bain Associates and later as the assistant to the CEO at Staples. During his time at Staples, he returned to Harvard to get his MBA.
4. Family firm
Since 1993 he has been CEO of Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation, a firm started by his father. While the company originally did construction, it now manages private equity real estate investments and provides real estate services for domestic and international clients. It's portfolio is estimated to be in excess of $4 billion.
5. Love life
Palandjian has been married before (he has four children from that relationship), but not much is known about his love life. He and Dushku have kept things very quiet. We know she split from Rick Fox in 2014 and started seeing Palandjian after that. They announced their engagement via Instagram on June 15.
6. Happily wed
The couple was married for a month before sharing the happy news with fans. Presumably, their marriage will be just as private as their relationship has been but we hope that they'll keep sharing adorable vacation photos like this.
