Former Trump attorney and ex-New Jersey federal prosecutor Alina Habba is reportedly engaged to 29-year-old Turkish billionaire Turhan Mildon, and the wedding is days away.
The Correspondent, an independent news outlet, first reported the engagement on Tuesday, and the couple is set to wed at an undisclosed location on Saturday. Habba, 42, and Mildon were most recently spotted together outside the Polo Room, a high-end restaurant in West Palm Beach, Florida, where the Daily Mail photographed Habba wearing what appeared to be a diamond engagement ring estimated at no less than 23 carats.
The marriage will be Habba's third. It caps a rapid courtship that began earlier this year at a Kennedy Center event in Washington, D.C., and moved fast through some of the capital's most prominent social settings, all while Habba's name has circulated as a possible successor to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Habba's trajectory through Trump's orbit has been unusually varied. President Trump hired her as his personal attorney in 2021. She briefly served as a counselor to the president in the West Wing last year before being tapped to lead the New Jersey U.S. Attorney's Office as acting U.S. attorney.
She resigned from that post last December. Sometime after her departure, Habba divorced her second husband, Gregg Reuben, described in reports as a parking-lot magnate. Her first marriage, to attorney Matthew Eyet, ended in 2019.
Even after stepping down from the prosecutor's role, Habba has remained a fixture in Republican circles. She has been floated as a potential White House press secretary, though she has denied interest in the position.
Turhan Mildon, 13 years Habba's junior, serves as CEO of Miller Holding, a Turkish multinational conglomerate specializing in energy, construction, and mining. His grandfather founded the company in 1967.
Mildon's business dealings extend well beyond Turkey. He has developed close ties to government leaders in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Venezuela, including Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodriguez. The precise nature of those relationships, whether strictly commercial, diplomatic, or personal, has not been detailed publicly.
Mildon is also previously divorced. No details about his former spouse have surfaced in available reporting.
Habba and Mildon first appeared together publicly at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in April, an event cut short when a gunman attempted to rush the ballroom. They were seen again on the Fourth of July at the Executive Branch, a private club in Washington, D.C.
The West Palm Beach sighting at the Polo Room appears to be the most recent. It was there that the Daily Mail observed the oversized diamond ring on Habba's hand.
Neither Habba nor Mildon has publicly confirmed the engagement. No statements from either party have been reported. The wedding location remains undisclosed.
Habba's next chapter remains an open question in Washington. Her name keeps surfacing in conversations about administration roles, and a marriage to a foreign billionaire with government ties in Venezuela and the Congo will only sharpen the scrutiny around any future appointment.
None of that changes the basic fact: a woman who stood beside Trump through some of his most contentious legal battles is about to walk down the aisle for a third time, this time with a 29-year-old energy magnate she met a few months ago at the Kennedy Center.
In Washington, that passes for a quiet weekend.
