Back in June 2019, during an appearance on Robert Kelly’s You Know What Dude podcast, the topic of his fiancée came up. Kelly remarked:

Sal is just the nicest guy in the world; he is just the sweetest, and your fiancée is nice too—which never happens.

Sal responded affectionately, describing her as terrific.

In May 2024, the comedian revealed during an interview on Theo Von's This Past Weekend podcast that he had secretly married his longtime partner. He mentioned that they first met seven or eight years before his rise to fame and explained why he keeps his personal life so private:

I never really talk about it at all, but people know I've been with my lady for a very long time. I'm so, so private. Privacy is like the last thing I have, you know. Once I give it away, I can't get it back, and it's just weird because I've spent a decade on television as myself.

After sharing details about his family, the actor told People that he felt conflicted about discussing his wife and daughter publicly, as he prefers to keep his personal life private. He mentioned:

I went home and I spoke to my wife and I thought about it and it's like ripping off a band-aid, basically. It's been so long that I've kind of kept this stuff to myself. It is meaningful to me and so it was a hard choice, but I was like, it's got to happen eventually.

Sal added:

It feels like that kind of burden has been lifted a bit.

Before Sal spoke publicly about his marriage, fans spent years speculating about his sexuality and relationship status. In 2014, during a talk show appearance with his Impractical Jokers co-stars, he jokingly claimed to be gay.

Vulcano later clarified that it was a prank to support his co-star James Murray, who had publicly come out as gay. James also later clarified that he isn’t gay. Sal said:

It makes me feel great that my best friend James has come out of the closet. That is the reason I brought him here today. You see, I am not gay, but I knew if I said I was gay, he would admit that he was gay.

Though intended as a joke, the moment was taken seriously by fans at the time, fuelling speculation about his orientation and personal life. His lack of public relationships before revealing his marriage only deepened the mystery.
