Early Life and Education

Robert was born into a family of legal practitioners, to his father Thomas and mother Anne-Dillon. He actually grew up with his three siblings in Lower Makefield Township of Bucks County in Pennsylvania, to where his family moved very early in his childhood. Costa attended Pennsbury High School, from where he matriculated in 2004. It looks like he took an interest in what he does now very early, as he started conducting interviews for the Bucks County Courier Times while he was still in high school, earning around $50 per article. He used this status to invite various stars to perform at his educational institution, including Maroon 5, John Mayer and Eve 6. Meanwhile, he was also covering local professional sports for the student TV station PHS-TV. From 2004 to 2008, Robert studied at the University of Notre Dame, from where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in American studies. Subsequently, he also earned a Master’s degree in politics from the University of Cambridge in 2009.

Career

Although he was already involved in the media in more than one way, including his previous position at the Cambridge Union debating society, his first official experience as a journalist came in 2010, when he obtained the position of a Robert L. Bartley Fellow in “The Wall Street Journal”. In the same year, he obtained his first full-time job as a reporter for “National Review”, a semi-monthly magazine that focuses on social, cultural and political affairs. In 2012, he earned the promotion that placed him in the position of Washington editor. Meanwhile, he was also making contributions to both CNBC and MSNBC. During the 2013 US federal government shutdown, Robert filed impressive reports throughout the event, which earned him the title of “The Golden Boy of the Government Shutdown.” Thanks to the massive rise in his popularity that he experienced, he was able to obtain a better position, specifically at The Washington Post, meanwhile also becoming a political analyst for MSNBC and NBC. Subsequently, Robert also covered the most recent presidential campaign, thus gaining another nickname – “Trump Whisperer” – due to the vast number of interviews that he conducted with the current US president. Ultimately, he was named the permanent moderator of “Washington Week”, which is his current position.

Love Life

When it comes to Robert’s romantic involvements, even though he is now a celebrity, the media is very much in the dark on this matter. There have been certain allegations that he is long since married with children, although the star himself has neither admitted nor refuted these claims. Until disclosed by Robert himself, no further information can be given about this part of his life.

Social Media Presence

Due to the major influence of social networks, it is nowadays a regular thing for active journalists to nourish a close and active relationship with their fans, for the sake of increasing the popularity of the media companies they’re working for, and thus their own net worth.
