U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida eloped to Southern California, marrying his girlfriend Ginger Luckey on Saturday in a small ceremony on Catalina Island.

The controversial 39-year-old Republican, who is under investigation as part of a sex trafficking probe, announced the wedding on his personal Twitter page. He exclaimed “I love my wife!” along with a photo of them together — he in a sport coat, she in a white dress.

Vanity Fair reports that Sergio Gor, a former staffer for Sen. Rand Paul, performed the ceremony that was attended by about 40 people. The couple had previously announced they would marry next year.

Gaetz had been in Iowa on Thursday with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, speaking at a rally that is part of a national tour where they falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from President Donald Trump and downplay the COVID-19 pandemic.

Luckey, 26, is from Southern California and works for a company that focuses on extending the life of products made from plant-based materials.

Gaetz is under investigation as part of a probe that led to the arrest and plea deal of his close friend, Joel Greenberg, a former Seminole Count, Florida, tax collector.

Greenberg pleaded guilty last May to six federal crimes, including sex trafficking of a child, identity theft, stalking, wire fraud and conspiracy to bribe a public official. His plea agreement with prosecutors requires continued cooperation with an ongoing probe into sex trafficking.

Gaetz, who represents much of the Florida Panhandle, was not mentioned in Greenberg’s plea agreement. But Greenberg’s cooperation could play a role in an ongoing investigation into Gaetz’s supposed pay-for-sex relationship with a 17-year-old girl. He has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.

      You lost me at “Sun Sentinel”. That rag is the talking paper of the Democratic Party of Broward County, the State, and nationally. Their editorial board was all anti-Trump and now that he is gone it’s all anti-DeSantis. Don’t think they have ever endorsed a Republican.

          Yes Alex that rag paper that continues to lose subscriptions. The content has been reduced substantially but the anti-Republican agenda presses on. That rag posts so called polling data that has their chosen Democrat ahead in elections. They had Biden winning Florida, FALSE. They had Gillum defeating DeSantis, FALSE. They had Nelson beating Scott, FALSE again. No doubt they are trying to influence voters not to participate since their chosen one is ahead.

            So you say.

            Too bad you have no credible sources backing you, like me.

            Poor guy, you’re over your head.

            Been a Sentinel subscriber for over thirty years. How bout them apples? There you go with that arrogance again. Look at what Biden’s arrogance on foreign policy got him in Afghanistan. Learn from the senile one.

            And you have….(drum roll please)

            Nothing.

            Just whining.

            I hope you enjoyed your education.

        Now some real facts;

        LEAST BIASED
        These sources have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes). The reporting is factual and usually sourced. These are the most credible media sources. See all Least Biased Sources.

        Overall, we rate the South Florida Sun-Sentinel Least Biased based on balanced editorials. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact check record.

        https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/south-florida-sun-sentinel/

        Now tell me Media Bias / Fact Check is liberal.

        Lol

          Is this the same Dave Van Zandt that is
          President of the New School? A school that is legendary in its “progressive” higher education? If so of course he and his website are friends of the left leaning Sun-Sentinel. Thanks for the chuckle and education.LMFAO

            Blah blah blah.

            (Oh, and putting on the internet you’re a sun sentinel subscriber for 30 years is a good example of giving out personal info. Not too smart, especially when I schooled you on that also)

            You didn’t School me on anything you arrogant blowhard. Your posted website that claims the Sentinel is not biased is bogus, run by a progressive. You have nothing.

            Lol

            So if it’s true, you can prove media bias / fact check is biased with credible links.

            So prove it.

            Hello Alex. Of course you can google search and find a website that appears credible and supports your narrative. You of all people should know that. I have no further interest in playing back and forth with you on this. I am watching Biden bumbling his way through another briefing right now.

          • Alex

            August 22, 2021 at 4:26 pm

            So you’re a liar.

            You could’ve just said this in the beginning and saved me the trouble of making you prove it.

            Have a lovely day proven liar.

        Why should they? All other damning evidence aside, the Jan 06 attempted overthrow of our democracy is all that anyone needs to see. Trump and all who back him in politics should be permanently disbarred from ever holding any form of public office again, starting from dogcatcher. Unbelievable how many people buy snake oil in this country.

        Um…science, reason, logic, and sane people everywhere who are fans of the truth are also anti-Trump and anti-DeSantis, so that’s not quite an indication of the value of a newspaper. It’s simply a pre-requisite.

    If she married Mr. Gaetz, she is no longer Luckey.
