14 november 2024 в 19:13
US Congressman Matt Gaetz from Florida is married. The 42-year-old politician, who was recently selected by President-elect Donald Trump for the position of 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 sparked criticism as he had previously been investigated for allegations of sexual relations with a minor and accusations of paying for her trips. Trump, 78, expressed his support on Truth Social, writing: «Matt is a deeply gifted and tenacious advocate, a law school graduate from William and Mary who has distinguished himself in Congress with his persistence in achieving necessary reforms at the Department of Justice».
His wife expressed support on social media, noting: «You will look great as Attorney General, my love».
All this happened a couple of years after Gaetz married Ginger, who was 26 at the time. Here are five facts about the congressman’s wife.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Ginger Luck studied sustainable business strategy at Harvard Business School’s online program. 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 $ 2 billion. Forbes estimated the entrepreneur’s fortune at over $ 500 million after the sale, but it is unclear how much he is worth now. He is also a supporter of the Republican Party, according to OpenSecrets, a research and transparency group tracking money in politics. Last October, Palmer hosted a fundraiser for President Trump after reportedly donating thousands to his 2016 campaign.
Do not call the Luckey family’s support for Republican candidates a family matter, as Ginger’s sister, Roxanna, called her current brother-in-law a «scumbag». Roxanna was critical of his politics and human trafficking allegations, sharing TikToks telling stories about him. In one of them, Roxanna claimed that Matt tried to introduce her to 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 ongoing investigation. «As someone who personally experienced many old scumbag politicians hitting on me when I was a minor, and experienced sexual violence at that age from people in power, it is very discouraging, and I have zero tolerance for people like [Gaetz]».
As indicated by her job information, Ginger lives in California, while her husband resides 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 with her husband, her «travel companion». «My company went fully remote in March, so I can do my financial analytics from anywhere», - she told the publication. «So I travel with him everywhere. I’m his travel companion»
