SAFETY HARBOR, Fla. – Michael Schiavo, whose brain-damaged wife was at the center of a contentious end-of-life battle that played out on a worldwide media stage, has remarried, family members said.
Schiavo married his longtime girlfriend Jodi Centonze on Saturday in a private church ceremony, said John Centonze, the brother of the bride.
Schiavo’s former wife, Terri, died in March after her feeding tube was removed. She had suffered irreversible brain damage after collapsing at age 26 in 1990.
Schiavo and his new bride have two young children. They met in a dentist’s office about 11 years ago and began a relationship after Terri Schiavo was already in a nursing home.
