This story states that both Savarette and Marino wished to keep the affair a secret.
The New York Post was the first publication to break the story, sharing some details about Savarette's current married life.
Marino played in the NFL from 1983 through 1999, with all 17 seasons spent in a Miami Dolphins uniform. He recorded a career-high two playoff wins, 5,084 yards passing and 48 touchdowns all during the 1984 campaign. Marino threw for over 4,000 yards four other times in his career, and had playoff game-winning drives in each of his last two post-season wins. At one point or another in his career (and in some cases to this day), Marino has held over 30 different passing records.
