It just so happened that Atti's 'smile, spirit, and enthusiasm sizzled' in a way that made the lifelong player want to settle down immediately. Still, his meet-cute with his wife, Elisa Atti, an Italian medical researcher who had never seen SATC, could have been ripped right out of a script from the show.Īgain, from It's Only Temporary, Handler revealed that he arranged a day date with Atti at the same time he was hooking up with an old flame from the show. In his memoir It's Only Temporary (as excerpted by the Daily News), Handler revealed that he's had 27 breakups with 10 different women and struggled with 'loving a woman properly in person.' He admitted to infidelities and a penchant for 'compulsively hanging around sexual chat rooms' before therapy and antidepressants got him squared away.
