There’s a new Republican power couple in town: Lara Trump was recently announced the new co-chair of the Republican National Committee, while Eric Trump is a trusted adviser to Donald Trump’s campaign

The couple met in 2008, got married in 2014, welcomed 2 kids – Eric Luke and Carolina Dorothy – and bought a multimillion-dollar mansion in Florida in 2021

With Eric Trump as a trusted adviser to his father’s campaign and Lara Trump’s ascent as the new co-chair of the Republican National Committee, there’s a new GOP power couple in town.

Lara has already made headlines as she and RNC chair Michael Whatley take steps to reorganise the committee, possibly letting go of 60 staff, according to reports.

But just how did they get together in the first place? Here’s a timeline of Eric and Lara Trump’s relationship.
