Melissa is the daughter of Divina Molinaro and Stephen Smith. Her family moved to Rochester Hills, Michigan, U.S., when she was thirteen. She is married to Bryan Kowalski, with whom she has two children. She has been compared to Kim Kardashian, looks-wise.

She has said:

I definitely have some guidette-isms… You walk into my Nona’s garage, there will be sausages drying and dangling from the ceiling. We make all our own sausage and meats. I don’t know how to make sausage myself, but let’s just say that I’m a part of the situation.

Melissa’s maternal grandfather was named Flore Antonio Molinaro (the son of Giovanni Molinaro and Divina).

Melissa’s maternal grandmother was named Carmela Scovino.

    if her last name were spanish,everyone would be posting about how black she is.maybe we should just see pictures and not names and we will see how we all use stereotypes to judge people

    There’s a lot of nonsense in these comments. The Moors were not black, and there’s no Arabic influence in Naples (how do we even know Melissa’s descended from there anyway?). She doesn’t look “Moorish” at all, and not much like Kim Kardashian either.

    In old times they would say she looks almost Moorish. The dark features from the Arabic people that influenced much of the Naples area has really come through in this Italian!
