Who is Matt Gaetz’s wife, Ginger? The woman stands proudly by her husband amid sex accusations

Ginger Gaetz beams as she stands next to her husband in loved-up photos curated on her Instagram page.

The 30-year-old wife of former Florida congressman and Donald Trump’s initial pick for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, proudly describes herself as his “wife” in her profile bio.

Her supportive post about Gaetz, 42, signaled an intention to stand by him as he wrestled with resurfaced sexual allegations from his past.

And now she has now signaled that she will continue to stand by him after he announced that he was withdrawing from the process to become Trump’s next attorney general.

“Clearly, my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction from the critical work of the Trump/Vance transition,” Gaetz wrote in a post on X Thursday.

“The end of an era,” Ginger quickly wrote on Instagram, minutes after her husband’s announcement.

She shared a photo of the pair walking hand-in-hand up the steps of the Capitol, adding: “No one loves America more than this guy.”

Just three days ago, Ginger had asked her followers: “Who else is excited for January?” with a recurring 2020 photo with Gaetz at a White House event.

And last week, as the backlash against Gaetz began to mount, Ginger wrote: “Attorney General will look good on you my love.”

While the vast majority of her followers posted supportive messages, she ignored one comment. “Him behind bars will get better,” one person replied.

Before resigning from Congress following Trump’s nomination to lead the Justice Department, Ginger wrote how Florida’s 1st Congressional District “is truly blessed to have you represent us.”

“Congratulations to the sweetest, hardest working, most talented man in the world,” she gushed.

In another snap with Gaetz on the steps of the Capitol, she said, “Happiest by your side.”

Two days after Gaetz was nominated by Trump, Ginger posted the message “Strong men make good times” on her X profile accompanied by a photo of her husband with right-wing Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk and Argentine President Javier Milei.

The storm that engulfed Gaetz is not the first time Ginger β€” the sister of Republican donor and entrepreneur Palmer Luckey β€” has stood by him.

The couple first met at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in early 2020, when she was 26.

The next night, he allegedly took her to a birthday party for Donald Trump Jr.’s then-girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle.

After a whirlwind 8-month romance, Gaetz, then 38, popped the question at Mar-a-Lago in December 2020. Daily Mail reported. “​It didn’t come as a surprise, I kind of saw it coming,” Ginger told the paper at the time.

At the same time, the Department of Justice investigated Gaetz for allegations of sex trafficking with a minor. No criminal charges were brought against him and he has repeatedly denied the allegations.

The investigation was opened in Trump’s final months in office under Attorney General Bill BarrNew York Times reported at that time, and that bubbled away until the DOJ shut it down last year. The House Ethics Committee also ran a separate investigation into the allegations, which included the allegation that Gaetz had sex with a minor, which he vehemently denies.

Apparently undeterred by the accusations, Ginger accepted Gaetz’s proposal and they were married in a small ceremony in Southern California in 2021.

At the time, working as a food analyst, Ginger, a former Harvard Business School student, told the email she could work remotely to follow her husband wherever he went. “I am his traveling companion,” she said.

Since they married, her social media profile has become a tribute to her husband’s political career and shows her socializing with some of Trump’s most vocal allies.

Elon Musk tagged her “cool” to a video where she sang Star Spangled Banner across from the Capitol Rotunda.

Last summer, she appeared on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast to lambast Barbie film for “completely missing an opportunity,” saying it was “all BELOW female empowerment.”

She is also often photographed with MAGA zealot Lauren Boebert, known for her controversial footage and comments, including enthusiastic remarks about the QAnon conspiracy theory.

As some of the most damning alleged evidence against Gaetz is made public, Ginger continues to be his biggest cheerleader.

Among the latest is a bombshell leaked document from the Justice Department investigation alleging a web of payments between the former congressman and friends and associates said to have joined him at drug-fueled sex parties.

He vehemently denies the accusations. “This targeted leak of classified investigative material is the kind of politicized DOJ weapon that Matt Gaetz will end,” Trump communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement before Gaetz announced his withdrawal.

“The Justice Department investigated Gaetz for years, failed to find a crime, and is now leaking material with false information to smear the next attorney general.”

On Wednesday, the House Ethics Committee was deadlocked on whether to release its report to Gaetz.

“There was no consensus on this issue,” said Democratic Representative Susan Wild, adding that the committee will meet again on Dec. 5.
