guy. y. she was very excited. i was a big fan of garrett s, he was sweet and funny and she seemed so happy with him. i should say joe and i both were very supportive. by joe, she is referring to claudia s ex-husband, a ex character actor who became a star by playing mafia tough guy joe pesci. it sounds like her marnl to joe pesci didn t end badly? not at all. they are like family, they are very close. claudia stay closed to joe >k pesci even after she started to date garrett who came from a different part of the movie business. garrett loved action and adventure.ress but when he met claudia, he was ready to settle down. we felt this would be the gal that garrett would end up with, no more dating or running around. i m going to end up with claudia.ar garrett and claudia were married less than a year after they met. a in the beginning, i think it was a very good relationship.
