Former Florida congressman-turned-TV anchor Matt Gaetz and his wife Ginger Luckey Gaetz have shared the happiest headline of their lives: “Baby Gaetz coming 2025.”
Ginger, 31, announced the news Tuesday on Instagram with a sonogram photo and a playful bump shot, while Gaetz, 43, promptly reposted the moment on X. It’s the latest milestone in a whirlwind romance that began at a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser in March 2020 and culminated in an intimate Catalina Island wedding in August 2021.
Love, Marriage … and Parenthood
| Timeline | Milestone |
|---|---|
| March 2020 | Met at Palm Beach fundraiser |
| Dec 2020 | Engaged (Ginger says she “saw it coming”) |
| Aug 2021 | Married on Catalina Island |
| 2025 | First baby due |
Ginger is the sister of tech entrepreneur Palmer Luckey, founder of Oculus VR. She earned a B.A. in Economics & Accounting from UC Santa Barbara and later completed executive-education coursework through Harvard Business School Online and UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business.
A Fresh Focus After Politics
Gaetz briefly topped headlines in late 2024 when President Donald Trump tapped him for attorney general. He withdrew, saying the confirmation process had become a distraction. In February 2024, the Department of Justice closed its investigation without bringing charges. Although a House Ethics Committee review remains open, Gaetz has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
With the legal cloud lifted, Gaetz pivoted fully to broadcasting: he now hosts a prime-time talk show, “The Matt Gaetz Show,” weeknights at 9 p.m. ET on One America News Network (OANN), launched in January 2025. The program focuses on policy, media critique, and what Gaetz calls “America-First accountability.”
“This new platform lets me bring viewers stories Washington often buries,” Gaetz told local media after the show’s premiere.
Looking Ahead
Friends say the couple’s priority now is preparing for their new arrival. Ginger’s announcement radiated optimism, and Gaetz’s repost simply read: “The best chapter yet.”
One thing is certain: 2025 promises to be a milestone year for Matt and Ginger Gaetz. And this time, the headline starts at home.
