Okay, so I got curious about Phil and Jeanie’s relationship timeline – specifically, when did Phil start dating Jeanie? I’m a big fan of Everybody Loves Raymond, and the whole Phil Rosenthal/Monica Horan dynamic always fascinated me. I decided to dig in and see what I could find.

My Little Investigation
First, I started with a basic search. You know, just typing in “Phil Rosenthal Jeanie Buss dating” and seeing what popped up. I figured there’d be some articles or interviews mentioning it, since they’re both pretty well-known figures.
- The results were kinda all over the place. Nothing immediately jumped out with a concrete date. I saw lots of mentions of them being a couple, but not a lot of specifics on when it all began.
Next, I tried to refine my search. I added things like “timeline” and “relationship history” to my search terms. This helped a little, but it was still mostly just general information about them as a couple, not the origin story I was looking for.
I remembered that Phil Rosenthal is pretty active, so I checked and nothing about it, which was a bit of a bummer. I was hoping he might have posted something about it at some point, like an anniversary post or something, but no luck.
I also looked at some older interviews with both Phil and Jeanie, hoping they might have mentioned it in passing. I spent a good chunk of time reading through transcripts and watching old clips, but it was mostly them talking about their respective careers. Lots of Raymond stuff for Phil, and Lakers stuff for Jeanie, which makes sense.
What I Gathered (Even If It’s Not Definitive)
Honestly, after all that searching, I still couldn’t pinpoint an exact date or even a year. It seems like they’ve kept that part of their relationship pretty private, which is totally understandable.
It’s a bit frustrating not to find a clear answer, I feel much closer to * hey, that’s the way it goes sometimes!
