VH1 Presents New Dating Competition

SANTA MONICA: Soap star Antonio Sabato Jr. searches for loves from a pool of 13 women in the new VH1 series My Antonio, premiering August 16.

Contestants travel to a Hawaiian paradise to seek out a love connection with the Calvin Klein underwear model. Over ten episodes, Sabato will get to know the potential love matches, eliminating women as the show progresses. In an interesting twist, one of the women competing for his attention is his ex-wife. His mother will also be on hand to help him make his final decision.

"I’ve been with some of the most amazing women in the world," said Sabato, "and at the age of 36, I’m finally ready to settle down. I really hope to meet that special someone. For me this is not a game. This is real. This is my life."

My Antonio is executive produced by Michael Hirschorn, Stella Stolper and Chris Choun for Ish Entertainment. Michael Bloom is executive producer. Mark Anstendig is supervising producer for VH1. Shelly Tatro, Danielle Gelfand and Jeff Olde are executive producers for VH1.
