According to Page Six, his relatives founded businesses including SCOA Nigeria and Boulos Enterprises.
Boulos Enterprises specializes in the distribution and trading of motorcycles, power bikes, tricycles and outboard motors. The company has also been associated with the distribution of Suzuki products in Nigeria.
His family’s Lebanese heritage has remained an important part of his background, connecting him to both the Middle East and Africa.
His father, Massad Boulos, is a businessman who later became involved in Donald Trump’s political activities.
Massad was selected as a senior adviser on Middle Eastern affairs in December 2024, further strengthening the family’s connections to American political life.
Michael also has a brother, Fares Boulos, who has pursued a career in entertainment under the stage name Farastafari.
Long before marrying into the Trump family, Michael had grown up surrounded by international business and prominent family connections.
How Tiffany Trump met her future husband
The couple’s relationship began in the summer of 2018 when they met in Mykonos, Greece.
According to PEOPLE, Tiffany and Michael crossed paths at a beach club associated with actress Lindsay Lohan.
Their meeting attracted attention because of Lohan’s connection to the establishment, although the actress later clarified that she had not personally introduced them.
“I wasn’t there when they met,” Lohan told PEOPLE.
“I know him … and I know her … but I don’t know what happened,” she added.
Their relationship developed over the following months.
By Thanksgiving 2018, Tiffany had reportedly introduced Michael to members of her family during a gathering at Mar-a-Lago.
In January 2019, the couple publicly acknowledged their relationship on Instagram, sharing a photograph taken inside the White House.
Boulos subsequently began attending family celebrations and public appearances alongside Tiffany.
He joined Donald and Melania Trump for Easter services in Palm Beach in April 2019 and was also photographed with Tiffany’s mother, Marla Maples, during New York Fashion Week.
Their relationship reached a major milestone in January 2021 when Boulos proposed to Tiffany in the White House Rose Garden.
Tiffany announced their engagement shortly before her father’s first presidential term ended, describing the occasion as one of her most special memories from the White House.
Their Mar-a-Lago wedding and growing family
After considering several possible wedding destinations, including Greece and Miami, Tiffany and Michael ultimately chose her family’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
The couple exchanged vows on November 12, 2022, surrounded by family members and invited guests.
Donald Trump walked his daughter down the aisle and participated in a father-daughter dance, while Marla Maples offered a prayer during the ceremony.
Tiffany selected a wedding gown created by Lebanese designer Elie Saab, reflecting her husband’s cultural heritage.
“It’s a Lebanese American wedding, so we were so happy to have Elie Saab create the magic,” Maples told PEOPLE.
The couple also incorporated another family connection into their celebration through their wedding cake, which was inspired by the elaborate cake served at Donald Trump and Marla Maples’ wedding.
Following their marriage, Tiffany and Michael established their home in Miami, near other members of the Trump family.
In 2025, the couple became parents for the first time when Tiffany gave birth to their son.
Donald Trump had revealed the pregnancy in October 2024 during an appearance at the Detroit Economic Club, where he recognized Michael’s father, Massad, who was attending the event.
“He happens to be the father of Tiffany’s husband, Michael, who’s a very exceptional young guy,” Trump said.
“And she’s an exceptional young woman. And she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice.”
The arrival of their baby marked a new chapter for Tiffany and Michael, who had celebrated their wedding less than three years earlier.
Their public appearances have also continued since becoming parents.
In September 2025, the couple attended a state banquet at Windsor Castle during President Trump’s official visit to the United Kingdom.
During the formal procession, Michael accompanied Catherine, Princess of Wales, while Tiffany was escorted by Apple CEO Tim Cook.
The appearance placed Boulos alongside members of the British royal family during one of the major diplomatic events attended by the Trumps.
As Tiffany and Michael celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary on November 12, 2026, their marriage has grown from a romance that began in Greece into a family life centered around their young son.
From his upbringing in Nigeria to his White House engagement and wedding at Mar-a-Lago, Boulos has become a familiar member of the president’s extended family while maintaining ties to his own family’s international business background.
