Feeder driver named "America's Hottest Husband"
Greg Gillette to appear on CBS "Early Morning Show"
Jodi Gillette thinks her husband is quite the catch.
America agrees.
Greg Gillette was voted “America’s Hottest Husband” by readers of Redbook Magazine and is featured in the June edition.
The 30-year old UPS feeder driver out of Slayton, Minnesota beat out 17 other finalists for the top honor. The unique recognition stems from Jodi’s nomination of Greg in October. She didn’t hear from the publication until February when she learned he was a finalist.
“I had absolutely no idea about any of it,” Greg said. “I found out about it on Valentine’s Day when she showed me what was going on. I was shocked.”
After online voting, Greg emerged the victor. The reward for being "America's Hottest Husband?"
An eight-day, seven-night trip to the Ka’anapali Beach Hotel on the island of Maui, HI. They plan to go next winter.
“Words cannot tell you how happy Greg and I are about this award,” said Jodi in the Redbook article. “We never went on a honeymoon and always promised ourselves that on our 10th anniversary – this year – we’d go to Hawaii. Three kids later, we weren’t sure it was going to happen.”
Along with the trip, Greg and his wife are also getting a lot of attention.
Today, the pair will fly out of Sioux Falls, S.D. en route to New York. They are scheduled to appear on the CBS "Early Morning Show" on Wednesday.
“I talked to the producers and we went over the contest, how I heard about it and so on,” Jodi said. “CBS has taken care of everything – cars to pick us up and hotels.”
It will be the couple’s television debut.
“It’s nerve racking,” Jodi said. “But I am totally pumped up about going to New York. We have wanted to go there forever.”
After the "Early Morning Show," Jodi and Greg will visit Redbook offices in New York for a chance to meet the people who have helped create quite the buzz in the couple's hometown of Lake Wilson, Minnesota.
It will cap off an exciting time that began with the nomination process, continued when an L.A. photographer and assistant flew to the Gillette's home for a four-hour photo shoot and peaked when the publication hit newsstands in the town of 270.
“It’s kind of gotten out of hand,” Greg said. “Once I saw the article, it really sank in. It really doesn’t seem real.”
But it is and it has also earned Greg some new nicknames among his peers when his route takes him to the Eagan Facility.
“Some of the guys have been calling me Hollywood and GQ,” he said. “I’m a pretty shy guy. It’s a neat experience.”
Jodi and Greg have three children – Madison (9), Sydney (7) and Ella (2). Greg has been with UPS for four years (one year as a feeder driver and three on the Slayton preload).
