Impractical Jokers star Joe Gatto purchased a mega-mansion with his wife Bessie three years before they decided to end their marriage — and the two will have to negotiate who walks away with the property in their divorce.
According to real estate records obtained by Radar, Gatto and his wife dropped $2.7 million on a 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom, 6,000 sq. ft. mansion in the city of Old Brookville in 2018.
The real estate listing describes the home as “Georgian-style Colonial.” The pad features a long driveway, a new chef's eat-in kitchen with a breakfast nook, a master suite with a fireplace, and a massive swimming pool.
The pair sold off their 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in the city of Lynbrook in 2019 for $675k. They had purchased the property for $485,000 in 2015.
The couple has been married since 2013 and Gatto has amassed quite a fortune in the past decade. Impractical Jokers premiered in 2011 and its ninth season premiered in February 2021. Gatto also serves as a producer for the hidden camera reality show. The series has launched into several spin-offs that all featured Gatto.
Over the weekend, the comedian announced he was splitting from his wife Bessie and quitting the hit show.

He dropped the bombshell in a post on Instagram. “I just wanted to let you all know that I will no longer be involved with Impractical Jokers.”
Gatto explained, “due to some issues in my personal life, I have to step away. Bessy and I have decided to amicably part ways, so now I need to focus on being the best father and co-parent to our two incredible kids.”
He added, “Outside of my family, my relationships with Murr, Q and Sal have been the most important in my life. I know they will continue to make the world laugh … I am very thankful to have worked with each and every one of them.”
