Alina Habba, the former acting New Jersey U.S. attorney and one-time personal lawyer to President Trump, has quietly divorced her husband, Gregg Reuben, and relocated to Florida after resigning as the Garden State's top federal prosecutor in December.
Friends of the 41-year-old mother of two told The Post they fully support the decision, with one describing Reuben as "a man not worth sharing a life with."
Habba is believed to have initiated the divorce proceedings after the couple lived separately for a brief period. The split, first reported by the Daily Mail, was ultimately settled amicably, according to friends.
Habba wasted no time after stepping down from her federal post. She packed up and headed south, and by all accounts from those close to her, the move has been a positive one. A friend told The Post that Habba is "super happy in Florida so far and looking forward to situating her kids there."
For conservatives who have followed Habba's career, from her high-profile legal work for President Trump to her brief tenure as New Jersey's top federal prosecutor, the personal upheaval is a reminder that public figures navigate the same private struggles as everyone else. What stands out here is the trajectory: a self-made lawyer, as one friend described her, and a former fashion executive making decisive moves on her own terms.
Reuben, Habba's second husband, amassed his wealth through multiple businesses focused on revolutionizing parking management. But according to a source close to Habba, he was "very much in the shadows" throughout their six-year relationship.
That description says more than any lengthy profile could. Habba spent the last several years in some of the most intense legal and political arenas in the country. Whatever the private dynamics of the marriage, the people closest to her are not mourning its end.
Habba shares two children with her first husband, attorney Matthew Eyet.
The more interesting question for a conservative audience isn't the divorce itself. It's what Habba does next. She left a powerful federal post, restructured her personal life, and planted herself in Florida, the political center of gravity for the American right. That doesn't look like someone retreating. It looks like someone clearing the deck.
Habba built a national profile through legal combat, media presence, and proximity to the most consequential political movement of the era. At 41, with the federal prosecutor chapter closed and the marriage behind her, the runway ahead is wide open.
Her friends aren't worried. Neither should anyone else be.
