Ginger Gaetz, the wife of former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, has continued to show her support for her husband as he faces resurfaced sexual allegations and a leaked Justice Department investigation.

The 30-year-old frequently posts on social media, proudly referring to Gaetz, 42, as her "wifey" and sharing loved-up photos. In the face of mounting backlash, including a recent withdrawal from the process of becoming Donald Trump's attorney general pick, Ginger has remained steadfast.

After Gaetz announced his withdrawal in November, Ginger quickly took to Instagram, posting: “The end of an era.” She also shared a photo of the couple walking hand-in-hand up Capitol steps, adding, “No one loves America more than this guy.”

As Gaetz’s legal woes resurfaced, including accusations linked to sex trafficking and drug-fueled parties, Ginger posted supportive messages, ignoring detractors. “Attorney General will look great on you my love,” she wrote, despite one comment claiming, “Him behind bars will be better.”

Ginger, who is the sister of tech entrepreneur Palmer Luckey, met Gaetz in early 2020 at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

The couple’s whirlwind romance led to a proposal in December 2020, despite the ongoing investigation into Gaetz by the Justice Department. Gaetz has denied all allegations, and no criminal charges have been filed.

The couple married in 2021, with Ginger publicly expressing her unwavering support. In a 2020 interview, she referred to herself as Gaetz’s “travel buddy,” indicating her commitment to follow him wherever his political career took him.

On social media, Ginger frequently shares moments with Trump allies, including MAGA representative Lauren Boebert and Elon Musk, who once branded her “cool” for a Capitol Rotunda performance of the Star-Spangled Banner.

Despite the release of damning leaked documents from the House Ethics Committee and the Justice Department investigation, Ginger continues to stand by her husband. The leaked documents allege Gaetz was involved in paying for sex, including with a 17-year-old girl, which he denies.

Gaetz’s communications director, Steven Cheung, dismissed the leaks as politically motivated, asserting that the Justice Department failed to find evidence of a crime after years of investigation.

As the controversy deepens, Ginger Gaetz’s loyalty to her husband remains unwavering, with her social media posts continuing to champion his political ambitions and personal character.
