‘RHORI’: Meet Liz McGraw’s Husband Gerry & Their Family
Bravo fans are getting to know Liz McGraw on the new series The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. The premiere episode of the show introduced viewers to Liz and her husband, Gerry McGraw.
The couple met in a bar and have been married for more than a decade. But like with many of the cast members on RHORI, their relationship has been clouded by gossip. Specifically, Liz has been accused of having an affair.
Scroll down for everything we know about Gerry, the pair’s relationship, and what she’s said about the affair rumors.
What does Liz McGraw’s husband do for a living?
Gerry is the CEO and co-founder of the Thomas C. Slater Compassion Center, the first medical marijuana dispensary in Rhode Island. He is known as the “King of Cannabis.”
“We were one of the first [dispensaries] on the East Coast,” Liz confirmed. “I like to believe we trailblazed.”
Does Liz McGraw have kids?
No, Liz does not have any biological children of her own, but she is a stepmother to Gerry’s three adult daughters: Miranda, Briana, and Skyla.
“When I met Gerry, he told me he had three girls, and they were little,” Liz shared on RHORI. “I was not prepared to be a mom. School, uniforms, baths, lunches…”
During Episode 2 of the Bravo series, Liz revealed that Briana was expecting her first child with her boyfriend. The baby has seemingly since been born, per Briana’s Instagram.
Is Liz McGraw related to her husband?
Liz revealed on the RHORI premiere that she and Gerry share a bloodline. “We were married about six months and that’s when the whole ancestry, DNA, thing was blowing up,” she said. “If you look at Gerry and you look at me, no one’s ever going to say we’re related, but we are related somewhere down the line.”
She later expanded on the relation on the RHORI after-show. “I start tracing the tree and my great grandmother was Mary Ann McGraw from Cork Island,” Liz revealed. “I never would have thought I was Irish.”
Liz said her great grandmother married a man related to Gerry, then “divorced him and married my great grandfather.”
Did Liz McGraw have an affair with Dino Guilmette?
During Episode 2 of RHORI, Liz was asked by the other women about a rumor that she’d had an affair. She denied the speculation, but commented on her close relationship with her and Gerry’s friend, Dino Guilmette. “We can pretend [it’s true] because it makes a great story, but no,” she confirmed.

Liz referred to Dino as her “very close friend” and described him as a “little brother” to her. “I love this person,” she said. “We also had an unconventional friendship that people didn’t understand. Was it completely right? No. Did we have this torrid affair? No. Did I ever sleep with this man? No. But he means a lot to me.”
She explained that the rumors began after Gerry took up sport fishing and was gone three weeks out of four. “When Gerry wasn’t here, I was always with Dino,” Liz said. “I know people say, ‘They had this affair.’ It’s all bulls**t.”
