Personal life
Marino was the second of two sons born on May 21, 1997, in Easton, Massachusetts, U.S.,[1] to parents Jen and Paul II.[2] Both Marino and his twin brother Paul III weighed over seven pounds, leading doctors to believe one of them would be born with a condition.[3] After Paul III was born with bowed legs, a doctor at Boston Children's Hospital suggested their parents enroll him in hockey lessons.[4] This was because the stride needed for hockey could allow a natural process for his legs to straighten. Jen and Paul II thus decided to enroll both of their sons in hockey lessons at nearly two years old.[2]
