Tulsi Gabbard: Family life of the new Director of National Intelligence
31 january 2025 в 01:13
Tulsi Gabbard was appointed as the Director of National Intelligence by President Donald Trump after his victory in the 2024 elections. A Democrat who switched to the Republican party, she is now under close scrutiny by the American public, who are curious to learn about her family, such as her husband and whether they have children.
Supporters of Gabbard have a unique political career, previously running against President Joe Biden in the Democratic primaries in 2020. Gabbard was also elected to the House of Representatives of Hawaii at just 21 years old and made history as the first American Samoan and practicing Hindu to serve in Congress.
While the political career of the combat veteran has been widely covered, the family life of the conservative is now receiving less attention. Read on to learn more about her personal life.
Gabbard does not have children. However, she underwent the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF), which she discussed during an appearance on Megan McCain’s podcast in mid-2024.
«How difficult it was for me, it was just as difficult to watch Abraham go through this heart-wrenching story again and again», - she said, opening up about the private IVF journey she and her husband, Abraham Williams, went through. Gabbard went on to explain that they paused the IVF process when she ran for president in 2020, and ultimately they decided to completely stop treatment.
Abraham Williams is part Maori, part Samoan film director and surfer from Auckland, New Zealand. According to his IMDb page, he is best known for his work on low-budget productions such as «Decade of the Dead», - «Game On», - «Angel on Thursdays», - and «Down the Sidewalk in Waikiki», - a short poetic film about a janitor in Hawaii. His website also states that he works in «diverse and challenging environments», - ranging from cities across America to military zones in the Middle East.
Before marrying Williams in 2015, Gabbard was previously married to Eduardo Tamayo from 2002 to 2006. In an interview with Vogue in 2013, Gabbard shared that she and Tamayo were childhood sweethearts. She described their marriage as «young love», - explaining that they surfed together and were best friends. «His family was like my family», - she said.
In a personal note published online, Gabbard revealed that she and Tamayo divorced shortly after her return from an 18-month deployment in Iraq. «Unfortunately, Eddie and I became another statistic, another sad story illustrating the stresses that war imposes on military spouses and families», - she wrote.
It is said that Williams met Gabbard during her first attempt to enter Congress in 2012, when he volunteered to shoot campaign commercials for her. They connected over a shared love of water sports, and about 18 months later, they began dating.
Williams proposed during a sunset surf session, with a diamond ring attached to a floating device trailing behind them. «He paddled up, pulled out a double device attached to a floating device wrapped in gold duct tape, with a beautiful ring, and said, 'I have a question for you: will you marry me?'» Gabbard recalled in an interview with The New York Times.
