Inside William Zabka's Relationship With His Wife
William Zabka is best known for his role as Johnny Lawrence in The Karate Kid films and the popular Netflix sequel series, Cobra Kai. He was a massive heartthrob in the '80s, with women swooning over his muscular physique, golden locks, and million-dollar smile. However, Heavy reports that his love life has always been a bit of a mystery. Zabka's dating history is mostly unknown. Fans have speculated in the past that he may have dated his Karate Kid love interest, Elisabeth Shue. The co-stars have never confirmed that they were romantically linked. However, fans can't help but wonder if there were ever sparks between them on set.
During the third season of Cobra Kai, Shue's character Ali Mills returned to reunite with Johnny. In one scene, Ali and Johnny nearly shared a kiss, but they were interrupted. Later, Shue told EW that she was disappointed that the characters didn't lock lips. "But yeah, I would have been up for a kiss. Are you kidding me? I'm bummed! They could have had a kiss," she said. Of course, the kiss would have solely been for acting purposes as both Shue and Zabka are married.
William Zabka is very private about his personal life
William Zabka married his wife, Stacie, in 2008 after a few years of dating. According to Glamour Path, the wedding was much like their romance: very private. The pair only invited their closest friends and family members to the ceremony. They also made sure to keep the wedding location far away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. The outlet claims that Stacie's net worth is around $100K, which she earned from her career in business. Meanwhile, her husband is estimated to be worth around $2 million, which he mostly garnered from his acting career.
The Zabkas have two children together. However, they have decided to keep their kids protected from the media. They rarely share photos of the children on social media or take them to events where they could be photographed by the paparazzi. They've never even revealed their kids' names to the public. Back in 2015, the Cobra Kai star did post a photo of himself standing in the ocean while holding his two children. Their faces were concealed, but they both appeared to have blond hair just like their father (via The Cinemaholic). After decades in Hollywood, Zabka seems to have figured how to keep his career and personal life completely separate, and it's working for him and his wife.
