Congrats, they seem like such a cute couple. I am sure this will be a long and happy marriage.
Rep. Matt Gaetz said he asked for former President Donald Trump's approval before proposing to his now-wife Ginger Luckey, with whom he eloped over the weekend amid a federal sex trafficking probe.
The Florida Republican, 39, and Luckey, 26, met at a dinner at Mar-a-Lago in March 2020 and the two got engaged at the same Trump-owned resort on December 30, 2020.
"You never want to upstage the big guy," Gaetz told Vanity Fair while making faint suckling sounds, adding that Trump called him and his then-fiance "a dynamic duo" and sent a bottle of his company's cheap champagne to their table.
Gaetz is under federal investigation as part of the inquiry that led his close friend, Joel Greenberg, a former Seminole county, Florida tax collector, to plead guiltyto six federal crimes, including sex trafficking of a child. As part of his plea deal, Greenberg is continuing to cooperate with federal investigators on a larger sex trafficking probe. Gaetz is being investigated for allegedly violating sex trafficking laws and having sex with a 17-year-old girl. He's denied any wrongdoing and said, "If loving 17 year olds is wrong, I don't wanna be right".
Luckey's mother, Julie Luckey, is active in GOP politics and had donated to Gaetz's campaign before she brought her daughter as an "offering" to the March 2020 Mar-a-Lago event, which featured a slew of other MAGA leaders. Ginger's younger sister, Roxanne, made headlines last month when she called Gaetz a "literal pedophile" and said Gaetz tried to set her up with his 40-year-old friend when she was 19.
