Lisa Mason – A Heartfelt Tribute to Her Beloved Husband Gino
QVC former host Lisa Mason suffered a massive loss when her husband, Gino, passed away, as he was battling brain cancer for a long time. Lisa left QVC to take care of Gino’s health and to spend their time together, though time was very short. Fans were able to relate to Gino’s experience because of Lisa’s openness about Gino’s battle, which was documented on Lisa’s Facebook page.
Gino survived for years following his diagnosis, defying expectations and offering hope to other people. Unfortunately, the battle ended in early 2019. In a heartfelt open letter to Gino, Lisa broke the devastating news. In her sincere letter, she wrote:
“Before we met, I felt like half a person. After we married, I finally felt whole… You’ve left, my Love. But God has not. He fills my broken, empty heart… I count the days until we are reunited. Heaven awaits! I love you forever. I will always be your faithful wife.”
Her supporters found immense resonance in these heartfelt remarks. On television, Lisa and Gino have consistently been shown as soulmates, their love clear even through the screen. Fans who had followed Lisa and Gino’s journey over the years were moved by her raw vulnerability.
The QVC community responded with an outpouring of unity. Fans and coworkers sent tales, pictures, and prayers on QVC forums and social media to show their sorrow. QVC addressed Gino’s death, and many hosts spoke kindly about Lisa’s courage and shared personal memories.
It makes sense that Lisa took some time to mourn Gino’s passing. She often credited her foundation to her faith, which she relied greatly on. She eventually moved to New York City, where she got two lovable dogs that provided her with comfort. Her social media posts revealed a person who was progressively getting better, not painlessly, but gracefully.
Then, in 2023, there was a surprise upgrade. Lisa told her fans about Scott, a new man in her life. She clarified that she renewed her faith in love with Scott, whom she had met two years before. Lisa explained Scott as “A diligent, devoted man who shares my passion for God, family, and nation,” she said.
He is quiet, reflective, and incredibly smart. Lisa also mentioned that she had never thought she would find love again, but God showed her grace and kindness and sent Scott to get her heart back together. Please don’t ever give up on love!!! When you least expect it..” Her journey from unimaginable grief to rediscovering happiness has inspired countless fans.
As of today, Lisa continues to stay connected to QVC fans. Lisa sometimes appears on special jewelry segments and frequently shares faith-filled uplifting messages through her social media account. Lisa honors the legacy while embracing her new chapter with Scott, while her memory of Gino’s remains one of the most precious parts of her life.
Over the years, a few QVC personalities have drawn criticism from viewers—some hosts even made it onto lists of the most disliked QVC presenters.
