Calvin Klein model and soap opera star Antonio Sabato, Jr. is on the hunt for one good woman.  “My Antonio” gives male viewers gorgeous girls to admire watch while we ladies have all the man we need in Antonio Sabato, Jr.

 

Antonio told VH1 that he wants his show to be as real as possible.  He hopes to sift through the expected fakes and find the women who truly want to win his favor.  When asked his preference between real or fake breasts, Antonio likes his handfuls natural.  However, if they are fake; he’d prefer the size be in good taste.  Although he takes advice from his mother during the show, he dismisses claims that he is a momma’s boy.  Antonio said that his family is close knit and his mother is a very smart woman with good insight.  He had no idea that his ex-wife would be a cast member and was completely caught of guard but intrigued by her presence.  Antonio hasn’t seen the show and will be watching each week right along with his viewers.
