==Personal life== On 14 March 2024, Armiento was diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin's lymphoma. Initially, Armiento believed it may have been long covid. However, his teammate Nikola Mileusnic encouraged him to get his ongoing cough checked and after an x-ray, where they found a nine centimetre mass inside his lung, this was later confirmed as Hodgkin's lymphoma. Armiento began chemotherapy on 5 April 2024. After a year of treatment, his doctor confirmed he was all clear.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/360875758/wellington-phoenixs-carlo-armiento-his-cancer-diagnosis|title=Wellington Phoenix’s Carlo Armiento on his cancer diagnosis|date=5 November 2025|access-date=7 November 2025|website=Stuff|first=Carlo|last=Armiento}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://wellingtonphoenix.com/news/armiento-shares-his-lifechanging-cancer-story/|title=Armiento shares his lifechanging cancer story|date=4 November 2025|access-date=7 November 2025|website={{A-League team|WP}}}}</ref>
