Enrico Colantoni has become a TV favorite, winning fans with roles ranging from the comedic Elliot DiMauro in Just Shoot Me! to the intense Sergeant Greg Parker in Flashpoint.
Off-screen, Colantoni’s path to lasting love had its twists. His first marriage to Nancy Snyder ended, but he found happiness with Rosanna Francioni. Colantoni is a father to two children from his previous relationship and a stepfather to two more. Let’s take a look at Enrico’s relationship with these two beautiful women.
Nancy Snyder (m.1997-2004)
Enrico’s first marriage began with a chance encounter during his “Just Shoot Me!” audition. He met Los Angeles nutritionist Nancy, who helped him shed 50 pounds. They wed in January 1997, and their family grew quickly. Son Quintin arrived later that year, with daughter Madelyn following in 2000. However, the union was short-lived, ending in divorce by 2004.
Today, Enrico’s kids are charting their courses. Quintin, a Centennial College grad, is a game creator and has also worked as a Writer/Producer on Fiverr. Madelyn keeps busy as Alumni Relations Chair at Delta Psi Delta.
Rosanna Francioni (2011 – Present)
Enrico’s love life took a new turn on November 11, 2011, when he married Rosanna. The surname Francioni, like Colantoni, hints at Italian roots – fitting, as Enrico himself is Italian. Born in 1960 to Giuseppe and Candida Francioni, Rosanna brings her rich history to the relationship. She’s a Kipling Collegiate Institute grad who spent 27 years at US Airways until 2010.
The Colantoni-Francioni household is a blend of love and family. Enrico embraced Rosanna’s children from a previous relationship, Julian and Raquel Gutierrez, as his own. This family unity shone through in 2020 when they all, including Enrico’s daughter Madelyn, came together in a video supporting Nova Scotia disaster victims.

Off-screen, the family’s bond continues to grow. Rosanna’s Catholic faith is a big part of her life, often popping up on her social media alongside proud updates about Enrico’s work. Raquel shows her support too, often posting to cheer on her stepfather. The couple celebrates their love publicly, sharing sweet birthday wishes and anniversary posts for each other online.
In a heartwarming twist, Rosanna and Enrico’s ex-wife Nancy are also good friends, with Rosanna often showing support for Nancy’s posts on social media.
