Career
Bello at the Independent Spirit Awards in Los Angeles on March 5, 2010
Bello's early TV appearances include episodes of The Commish (1991), Due South (1994), Nowhere Man (1995), Misery Loves Company (1995), and ER (1997–98). Her breakthrough came when she was cast as Mrs. Smith in the TV series spy show Mr. & Mrs. Smith, though the show was cancelled after eight weeks. She then appeared in the final three episodes of the third season of ER as pediatrician Dr. Anna Del Amico and was a regular cast member during the medical drama's fourth season.
In 2010, Bello guest starred in two episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.[13] The following year, she starred in the TV series Prime Suspect,[14] which was cancelled after 13 episodes. In 2011, she became a founding board member of the CQ Matrix Company, a company created by her then-partner, Clare Munn, to help clients achieve "transformative living and the power of intelligent exchange" by enhancing their communication quotient.[15] In 2014, she starred alongside Frank Grillo in the James Wan-produced thriller Demonic.[16]
Bello began producing short films in 2010. In 2022, she was a producer on the film The Woman King.[17]
Personal life
Bello has a son Jackson with her former boyfriend Dan McDermott.[18] In November 2013, she wrote about having a same-sex relationship with her then-partner, Clare Munn.[18][19] She published a book, Whatever...Love Is Love: Questioning the Labels We Give Ourselves (Dey Street Books, April 28, 2015).[20]
In February 2020, while attending the 92nd Academy Awards in their first public appearance as a couple, Bello announced she and chef Dominique Crenn had become engaged on December 29, 2019, while holidaying in Paris, France.[21]
Philanthropy
In the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Bello founded WE ADVANCE with Aleda Frishman, Barbara Guillaume, and Alison Thompson. It is an organization that encourages Haitian women to collaborate in making healthcare a priority, and putting an end to domestic violence within their communities. In March 2011, she also led fundraising efforts in Philadelphia and donated to the devastating earthquake, tsunami, and the subsequent nuclear disaster in Japan.
As of 2011[update], the organization is based in a health clinic and a community outreach center in Cité Soleil.[22] Bello is also a board member of Darfur Women Action Group, an NGO that undertakes activism on behalf of genocide victims of the Darfur conflict.[23]
