Gia Mantegna Was One of Mitchel Musso's Two Former Girlfriends
In 2009, Mitchel Musso confirmed that "Unaccompanied Minors" star Gia Mantegna was his girlfriend. They had been dating for two months, enjoying activities like going out with friends and spending quality time together watching movies and eating sushi. He said:
"It's the first actual relationship I've ever had. We're together 24/7 attached at the hip, and I love it."
Gia was born in April 1990 in Manhattan, New York, and was raised in Los Angeles, California. During her upbringing, she honed her skills as a trained gymnast and ballerina, paving the way for her eventual entry into show business.

Acting appeared to be ingrained in Gia's very being. Her father is none other than "The Godfather Part III" actor Joe Mantegna. Her mother, Arlene Mantegna, is a restaurant owner in Burbank.
Gia and Joe were once co-stars, portraying a father-daughter duo in the film "Uncle Nino." Reflecting on the experience, Gia expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work alongside her dad on set.
As she continues her father's legacy in acting, Gia hopes to find happiness in her pursuits, make independent choices, and stay committed to her craft by taking diverse roles in independent films. She also wants to prioritize personal fulfillment over financial success.
