Personal life and love matters When it comes to love, Dennis had his share of romantic ups and downs. He manipulated an insecure, neurotic, vulnerable supermodel named Adrienne Barker to the altar when she was feeling down about her body and career. But, their marriage eventually floundered when Finch and Adrienne realized they are very different from one another and that the INS suspected Adrienne (a Canadian) had married Finch to keep her citizenship when her visa expired. In the end, Finch and Adrienne (who both admitted to being sex-addicts) departed friends. To keep his libido in condition, Dennis lusted after a new employee named Vicki Costa who was recently hired by Jack Gallo. And then Dennis dated a cover model called Kelly who turned out to be a lesbian and who thought Dennis was a woman.

Dennis was also noted for his extreme loyalty to his boss, and Maya's father, Jack Gallo. During the course of the show, Finch made no secret of his hero worship of Jack, and even viewed Jack as a father figure. In one episode, Finch filmed an adult movie in his boss' office, naming 2 of the guys in the film "Dennis" and "Jack". During the film, "Dennis" goes onto tell "Jack" how he has learned so much from him, and that "Jack" was a hero to him. In another episode, Dennis bought Jack dog tags to match his own, and Jack's dog tags were inscribed with a note about how Jack was his General, and he was honored to have been in the trenches with him. While Jack sometimes seems uncomfortable with the role Dennis has placed him in, he always comes around and shows appreciation for Dennis' loyalty, and returns the father/son bond Dennis has for him.
Spartacus For companionship, Dennis kept a fluffy white award-winning pure-bred cat named Spartacus in his apartment. One day, Dennis took his cat to work and it accidentally died in a collision while publisher Jack Gallo and his daughter, Maya were racing remote control model cars around the office. Grief stricken (and not knowing how the cat died) Finch stuffed Spartacus and one day placed the mounted remains of his dead feline on Jack Gallo’s desk. Jack’s guilt became so overwhelming (he thought the cat was talking to him) that he confessed his misdeed to Dennis. While he did this, the stuffed remains of Spartacus were burned from a lit cigar.

As for Dennis' grandmother, he learned a valuable lesson at the age of six when he accidentally walked into the bathroom and saw her naked. He learned to knock. Dennis's father and brothers were all firemen, very supportive of their 'tiny' and effeminate brother's presumed homosexuality. Though Dennis is not gay, one of his brothers appeared to be in a relationship with his roommate, but his butch manner and appearance had made his family completely ignorant of that fact.
