14 november 2024 в 01:13
US Congressman Matt Gaetz from Florida is married. The 42-year-old politician, recently appointed by President-elect and chosen by former President Donald Trump as Attorney General, eloped with his fiancée Ginger Luck in California in 2021 after a year of dating. Both shared photos from their wedding day on social media on Saturday, August 21, 2021.
Gaetz’s appointment as Attorney General comes amidst scandal, as he was previously investigated for alleged sexual relations with a minor and accusations of paying for her trips. 78-year-old Trump expressed his support on Truth Social, writing: «Matt is a deeply gifted and tenacious lawyer, educated at William and Mary Law School, who has distinguished himself in Congress with his focus on achieving necessary reform in the Department of Justice».
His wife showed her support on her social media, noting: «You will look great as Attorney General, my love».
All of this happened a couple of years after Gaetz exchanged vows with Ginger, who was 26 at the time. Here are five facts about the congressman’s wife.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Ginger Luck studied at Harvard Business School’s online program, where she studied sustainable business strategy. She previously studied economics and accounting at the University of California, Santa Barbara, from 2012 to 2016.
Ginger is the sister of Palmer Luckey, an entrepreneur best known as the founder of virtual reality company Oculus VR and designer of Oculus Rift. Facebook acquired Oculus VR back in 2014 for a reported $ 2 billion. Forbes estimated the entrepreneur’s net worth at over $ 500 million after the sale, but it is unclear how much he is worth now. He is also a passionate donor to the Republican Party, according to OpenSecrets, a research and transparency group tracking money in politics. Last October, Palmer organized a fundraiser for President Trump after reportedly donating thousands to his campaign in 2016.
Don’t call the Luckey family’s support for Republican candidates a family affair, as Ginger’s sister Roxanna called her current brother-in-law a «scumbag». Roxanna was critical of his politics and allegations of sex trafficking, sharing TikToks telling stories about him. In one of them, Roxanna claimed that Matt tried to set her up with an older friend when she was 19. «I saw his character and the type of person he is, and when everything came out about him, I honestly, unfortunately, was not surprised», - she said about the current investigation. «As someone who personally experienced many old scumbag politicians hitting on me when I was a minor, and experiencing sexual violence at that age from people in power, it’s very discouraging, and I have zero tolerance for people like [Gaetz]».
Ginger does not live in the same state as her husband
As indicated by her work information, Ginger lives in California, while her husband lives in Florida. In an interview with Daily Mail, Ginger said that since her job became remote due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, she travels full-time with her «traveling» husband. «My company went fully remote in March, so I can do my financial analytics from anywhere», - she told the publication. «So I travel»
