Early life

DeCesare was born in Avon Lake, Ohio and lives in Manhattan Beach, California. She graduated from Avon Lake High School in 2000 and later worked at a title company in the Cleveland area.

Career

Modeling

She responded to Playboy's "Who Wants to Be a Playboy Centerfold?" search when it came to Cleveland and was selected as a finalist for the competition. She, however, had second thoughts and withdrew early in the taping of material for the Fox Network special that aired in the summer of 2002. DeCesare then changed her mind about posing for Playboy and was quickly named Cyber Girl of the Week in October 2002 and Cyber Girl of the Month in February 2003, before being selected as Playboy's Miss April in 2003.

She appeared in the 2005 Playmates at Play at the Playboy Mansion swimsuit calendar as calendar girl of March. The calendar was the inaugural Playmates at Play calendar and it was shot on the grounds of the Playboy Mansion in 2004. It was Playboy's first attempt at creating a non-nude swimsuit calendar featuring Playmates similar in style with those from Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. In 2005, DeCesare received breast implants. In an episode of the E! reality-TV series The Girls Next Door in August 2005, she said that her implants looked fake because they were new and had not fully settled.⁴

She modeled in the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.⁵

World Wrestling Entertainment

Carmella DeCesare
Ring name(s)	Carmella
Billed height	5 ft 8 in (1.73 m)
Billed weight	118 lb (54 kg)
Born	July 1, 1982 (1982-07) (aged 27) Avon Lake, Ohio

Debut	November 18, 2004

She competed in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) $250,000 RAW Diva Search and came in second to Christy Hemme. Though she came in second, she developed as a jealous heel, and WWE decided to keep her temporarily. She competed in a match against Hemme at Taboo Tuesday in a losing effort and appeared several times as face on the WWE's Raw show, until she was released by the company shortly thereafter. The song Carmella used as her theme while working with the WWE was "Body Talk" by Elize. She appeared on the game shows Family Feud on May 10, 2004, the Howard Stern Show, and Street Smarts.

Personal life

Arrest

On September 10, 2004, she pled not guilty to assault in a Cleveland, Ohio court after a fight in a bar on August 21, 2004 with a woman named Kristen Hine.⁶ She was acquitted of the assault charge on January 12, 2005 but found guilty of violating a restraining order. She was sentenced to do twenty-four hours of community service, given one year probation, and fined $150. During the trial, DeCesare testified that Jeff Garcia, her boyfriend and at that time the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, had been involved in an affair with Hine after DeCesare's and Garcia's relationship began.⁷ Garcia commented on the situation "It’s embarrassing that I am here today, to be caught up in a situation like this."⁸

Marriage and current activities

DeCesare married NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia on April 21, 2007 at the CordeValle Resort in San Martin, California. They have a daughter named Presley who was born on April 28, 2008.⁹ The couple welcomed their second child, a son, in June 2009.¹⁰

In a May 2007 interview with the Calgary Sun, Garcia intimated that since DeCesare is now his wife she will distance herself from Playboy.¹¹ She is listed as the vice-president of Garcia's charity, the Garcia Pass It On Foundation.¹²
