Who is Dina Manzo’s husband? Dave Cantin reportedly filed for divorce a year before withdrawing the filing

Reality TV star-turned-businesswoman, Dina Manzo, and her husband, Dave Cantin, reportedly filed for divorce before trying to settle their differences and restore their relationship with each other. As reviewed by Us Weekly, a California court document stated that it was the 54-year-old Dina Manzo who, without anyone’s knowledge, filed for a divorce from Dave Cantin in March 2025.

While Manzo and Cantin have been married for close to eight years, in her court documents, she mentioned that they got hitched in June 2017 and parted ways from one another the same day Manzo filed for separation on March 4, 2025, as per Us Weekly. After six days, on March 10, 2025, Dave Cantin filed for divorce in a Florida court.

In his court documents, Dave stated that he tied the knot with Dina on June 28, 2018, in Malibu, California. According to Us Weekly, during the time of his divorce filing, Daved urged the court to distribute their marital assets based on their individual needs. He cited that:

The “duration of the marriage and [his] extraordinary contributions to the acquisition, enhancement and production of income or the improvement of both the marital assets and the non-marital assets.”

While Dave, who, according to his LinkedIn profile, is the CEO of Dave Cantin Group, urged the court to order his wife to cover his lawyers’ fees, Dina Manzo, in her filing, also asked the California court to provide spousal support. Cantin, who has been married to Dina for years, is also a press contributor and philanthropist. As per his LinkedIn, Dave began his career in the automotive industry.
