Alina Habba, the 42-year-old former acting US attorney for New Jersey and Trump's personal legal counsel, exchanged vows with 29-year-old Turkish industrialist Turhan Mildon at the Waldorf Astoria. The ceremony took place inside the hotel's fourth-floor ballroom, a space transformed by pink and white cherry blossoms and hundreds of red roses. New York Post estimates pegged the cost of the venue, floral arrangements, and music alone at approximately $1 million, a figure that excludes the hotel rooms secured for guests.
Mildon serves as the CEO of Miller Holding, a conglomerate established by his grandfather in 1967. The company operates in energy, construction, and mining sectors. He confirmed the union to Türkiye. Today, stating the relationship had no political agenda and originated through a mutual friend. The couple rushed the timeline, organizing the wedding in just three months after failing to secure the Plaza Hotel.
The guest list reflected Habba's political ties. FBI Director Kash Patel and US Attorney General Todd Blanche attended the reception, as did Margo Martin, a communications adviser to Trump. Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson also made an appearance. Habba's two children from her first marriage, Chloe and Luke, arrived ahead of the reception.
President Trump did not attend the celebration. He was in Knoxville, Tennessee, watching a college football game on Saturday. Habba, who left her role as acting US attorney last December, had previously been married to attorney Matthew Eyet and later to Gregg Reuben. Mildon divorced in 2024. The union marks a sharp contrast in age and background, with Mildon reportedly holding business connections in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Venezuela.
The couple’s relationship became public earlier this year after they were spotted at a Kennedy Center event. Last week, photos of Habba wearing a diamond ring estimated at over 23 carats and carrying a $30,000 Hermès Birkin bag drew significant media attention. The wedding concludes a period of intense scrutiny on Habba’s personal life following her high-profile departure from the Department of Justice.
