Renowned Politicians And Their Significant Others: Their Softer Side Media Doesn’t Show You

 

From economic crises to elections to controversial commentary, many things come to mind when we think about politicians. However, their marriages/love lives will barely even make it to the top ten because it’s often neglected by the media.

Believe it or not, these powerful men and women in politics that you see on the television have very different lives behind the camera. Tapping into their softer sides, we could find out that they are happily married (or at the very least, have great ongoing relationships) with their significant others. Don’t worry because we’ve got you covered! Here’s a peek into the romantic lives of some of the world’s renowned politicians.

 

Rosario Dawson & Cory Booker – Dating For 3 Years

Cory Booker is a popular character in the political world, currently serving as the junior United States Senator from New Jersey. If you’re someone more entertained by films and television shows, you might know the actress Rosario Dawson. She has appeared in many projects but is best known for her appearances in Men in Black II and Sin City.

In 2019, Dawson revealed her relationship with Booker to TMZ, confirming what was merely a rumor at the time. According to Oprah Magazine, their relationship began upon meeting at a friend’s party in 2018. It looks like they were both at the right place at the right time.

Joe Biden & Jill Biden – Married For 44 Years

Anyone who had the slightest interest in world politics knew that Joe Biden was the vice president under Barack Obama’s administration. But that wasn’t the end of his political career despite being in his late 70s, which is why he competed in the 2020 presidential election and won.

Biden certainly came a long way from almost giving up politics after losing his first wife, and infant daughter died in a car crash. He credits his second wife, Jill Biden, for helping him get through what was probably the roughest time of his life. They, too, met on a blind date, two years before marrying in 1977 and having a daughter together.

Mike Pence & Karen Pence – Married For 36 Years

In American politics, Mike Pence is not everyone’s favorite character. However, that did not keep him from advancing his career and becoming the Vice President during Donald Trump’s administration. But in January 2021, he lost the seat to Kamala Harris.

Pence is now 61 years old and doesn’t bear any official titles at the moment. He and his wife of 36 years, Karen Pence, have moved back to their native land of Indiana. The couple first met during Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Indianapolis and wrote a beautiful love story, adding three children to the family along the way.

Mitch McConnell & Elaine Chao – Married For 28 Years

Mitch McConnell is an American politician who has been in public service since 1985 as the senior United States Senator for Kentucky. On January 20, 2021, he started working as Senate Minority Leader too. McConnell’s passion for politics originated as a teenager, and by 1984, he was elected to the U.S Senate from the Republican party.

Just as McConnell’s professional life, he faced some personal issues with his first wife, with whom he had three children. They were married for 12 years before they divorced, which may have been a blessing in disguise as he later fell in love and married Elaine Chao in 1993.

Kellyanne Conway & George Conway – Married For 20 Years

Kellyanne Conway is an American political consultant who served as Senior Counselor during Donald Trump’s administration from 2017 to 2020. She also worked as Trump’s campaign manager in 2016 and became the first woman to have run a successful U.S presidential campaign.

Formerly, Conway was active within the Republican Party as a campaign manager and strategist. In her personal life, Conway has been happily married to George T. Conway since 2001, who is an American attorney. They have four children together. Her husband recently attracted attention for his criticism of Trump, having co-founded the Lincoln Project, which campaigned against Trump.
