Former Trump attorney and onetime New Jersey federal prosecutor Alina Habba is reportedly days away from marrying a 29-year-old Turkish billionaire, a match that surfaced publicly only months ago.
Habba, 42, and Turhan Mildon, the CEO of Miller Holding, plan to wed Saturday at an undisclosed location, the New York Post reported. The Correspondent, an independent news outlet, first broke the engagement story on Tuesday. Neither Habba nor Mildon has publicly confirmed the engagement.
Mildon will be Habba's third husband. The speed of the courtship, from a first meeting earlier this year to a Saturday wedding, marks a sharp turn in the personal life of one of the most visible figures in Trump's legal and political orbit.
Habba and Mildon reportedly first crossed paths at a Kennedy Center event in Washington, D.C., earlier this year. By April, the pair showed up together at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, an evening cut short when a gunman attempted to rush the ballroom.
On the Fourth of July, they were seen together again at the Executive Branch, a private club in Washington. Most recently, the Daily Mail encountered the couple outside the Polo Room, a high-end restaurant in West Palm Beach, Florida. Habba was wearing a large diamond engagement ring estimated at 23 carats or more, though no source for that assessment was identified.
The 13-year age gap between Habba and Mildon has drawn attention. Mildon heads Miller Holding, a Turkish multinational conglomerate founded by his grandfather in 1967 that operates in energy, construction, and mining. He has also developed close ties to government leaders in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Venezuela, including interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez.
President Trump hired Habba as his personal attorney in 2021. She became one of the most recognizable faces of his legal defense, and her profile grew well beyond the courtroom. She later served in the West Wing as a counselor to the president before being tapped to lead the New Jersey U.S. Attorney's Office, the top federal prosecutor post in the state.
She resigned from that role last December. Sometime after stepping down, Habba divorced her second husband, Gregg Reuben, a parking lot magnate. Her first marriage, to attorney Matthew Eyet, ended in 2019.
High-profile relationships and public breakups are hardly rare in political life. As seen in recent celebrity marriage struggles, even well-known figures often navigate personal upheaval under intense public scrutiny.
Habba has also been floated as a potential successor to Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary, though she has denied interest in the role. Who specifically raised her name for the job remains unclear.
Mildon's connections to foreign governments, particularly in Venezuela, where U.S. sanctions have been a central policy tool, could invite scrutiny. The nature of those ties, whether strictly commercial or something broader, is not spelled out in available reporting. For a figure marrying into one of the most politically connected circles in Washington, those details matter.
The wedding location has not been disclosed. No guest list, venue, or ceremony details have surfaced publicly. What is clear is that Habba, who built her national profile through legal combat on Trump's behalf, is moving fast, from a Kennedy Center introduction to a Saturday wedding in a matter of months.
Washington moves quickly. Apparently, so does Alina Habba.
