An old video featuring Matt Gaetz’s wife, Ginger Luckey Gaetz, singing the Star-Spangled Banner at the Capitol, seemingly testing the acoustics of the edifice, resurfaced online amid the Florida Rep’s Attorney General nomination. Matt Gaetz’s 29-year-old wife is a food analyst who works with Apeel, a firm focused on reducing food waste by extending the life of products made from plant-based materials.

On Wednesday, November 13, 2024, Donald Trump stunned a few GOP lawmakers after announcing controversial Florida Rep Matt Gaetz as his Attorney General pick. Although Gaetz was never charged with a crime, he has been plagued with multiple controversies since being elected to Congress in 2016. The most concerning among these allegations is the 2021 accusation that he had s*x with a minor in 2019.

The justice department began investigating Gaetz in 2020 over a s*xual relationship with a 17-year-old who he allegedly paid to travel with him, violating federal s*x-trafficking laws. In 2022, prosecutors declined to press charges over insufficient evidence. However, the House Ethics Committee continued to investigate Gaetz.

In 2021, amid the federal investigation, Gaetz announced he married his girlfriend Ginger Luckey in a private ceremony after eloping with her to southern California after dating for a year. Here’s everything we know about Ginger Luckey Gaetz amid her husband's Attorney General nomination.


Ginger Luckey Gaetz met Matt Gaetz at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club

Ginger Luckey Gaetz, a food analyst from southern California, told the Daily Mail last year that she met Matt Gaetz in 2020 during a fundraising event at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. Gaetz reportedly proposed to his girlfriend of one year at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club.

She studied economics and accounting at the University of California, graduating in 2016 and also attended Harvard Business School Online to study sustainable business strategy. Ginger’s brother Palmer Luckey, a millionaire with a net worth of $500 million, is a republican donor.

Meanwhile, her sister Roxanne slammed Matt Gaetz as a “creep.” after he was accused of s*x trafficking. At the time, on her TikTok, she even accused Gaetz of trying to set her up with an older man when she was allegedly 19 years old. At the time, she said:

“I saw the character and type of person he is, and when everything came out about him, I honestly, unfortunately, was not surprised.”

Meanwhile, it doesn't appear Ginger Luckey Gaetz is fazed by the allegations leveled against her husband. Shortly after Trump picked Gaetz for the Attorney General position, she shared a heartfelt tribute on X. She wrote:

“Attorney General will look great on you my love.”

Ginger Luckey Gaetz videos resurface online

Following Gaetz's nomination, a video of Ginger singing the national anthem in the Capitol rotunda resurfaced online. Social media users were quick to praise Matt Gaetz’s wife’s patriotism amid her husband’s nomination for a prominent government post.

Meanwhile, another video where Ginger urged people to boycott Barbie the movie was also unearthed online. At the time, she said:

“The Barbie I grew up with was a representation of limitless possibilities, embracing diverse careers and feminine empowerment. The 2023 Barbie movie, unfortunately, neglects to address any notion of faith or family, and tries to normalize the idea that men and women can't collaborate positively (yuck).”

Meanwhile, Gaetz resigned from Congress after the Attorney General nomination. The resignation would put an end to the House Ethics Committee’s probe over s*x trafficking allegations. It should be noted that Matt Gaetz has denied all the allegations.
