Birth name: David Michael Navarro.
Born: June 7, 1967 Santa Monica, California, USA.
Navarro is a member of The Panic Channel and the cover band Camp Freddy. Currently, Navarro has just signed on with ManiaTV.com to create Spread Entertainment Live Thursdays, 8pm EST.
Navarro was born in Santa Monica, California, to James Raul Navarro and Constance Colleen Hopkins. Navarro's paternal grandfather was a Mexican immigrant who was orphaned after the Mexican Civil War. His mother Constance worked as a model, appearing on the television show Let's Make A Deal. Navarro was the only person in his paternal family not to speak Spanish, as James and Constance divorced when he was 7 and he spent the majority of his time with his Anglophone mother; she was murdered eight years later in March 1983 by her boyfriend, who was arrested in 2004 after a viewer tip when Navarro appeared on the television series America's Most Wanted. Navarro has two half-siblings on his father's side - a brother and a sister, who are 27 and 31 years younger than him. He attended the private John Thomas Dye School in Bel-Air, where he first met Eric Avery.
Navarro has been married and divorced three times. He married his first wife, make-up artist Tania Goddard, in a pagan ceremony in 1990 and his second wife, Rhian Gittins, in a civil ceremony on October 15, 1994. Navarro married model and actress Carmen Electra, on November 22, 2003. On July 17, 2006, Navarro and Electra announced their split to Star Magazine. Navarro posted a message on his blog the following morning saying "I just want to say thanks for all of your love and support. I'm sure that you can understand that I wish to keep all personal matters private." Electra filed for divorce on August 8, 2006.
It was rumored in August 2006 that Dave was dating porn actress Jenna Jameson, but Navarro has denied this on his blog.
Navarro's life came under some scrutiny after he admitted to having experimented sexually with other men. During an interview in May 2006 with the online publication Dot News Magazine, Navarro stated: "I will tell you that I've come to realize through my experimentation over the years that I'm not gay, nor am I bisexual. But at least I know that in the sense that I've never been aroused by a man, but I've been in situations where I could potentially be aroused. Since it didn't work, I know I'm not gay. So I was open to it working, let's just say that." When asked about if he had to be gay, he replied that he'd choose to experiment with actor Johnny Depp.
Navarro has long struggled with drugs, including a lengthy addiction to heroin that was documented in his 2001 autobiography, Don't Try This At Home, which was co-authored by Neil Strauss.
