Age Discrepancies Emerge in Reports About Alina Habba's Husband
Sources claim Turhan Mildon is younger than publicly stated, adding a new layer to scrutiny surrounding Donald Trump's former attorney.
Turhan Mildon, the husband of Donald Trump's former attorney Alina Habba, is reportedly younger than his publicly stated age of 29, according to multiple sources cited by The New York Times. The businessman, who married Habba, 42, in September, is allegedly 25 years old, making Habba 17 years his senior. The Times reported obtaining documents, including a U.S. visa and a Turkish passport photo page, that list Mildon's date of birth as December 2, 2000.
Mildon's firm, Miller Holding, and Habba did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the Daily Mail.
The age discrepancy has surfaced amid recent scrutiny of Mildon's financial dealings, particularly a planned donation to the Kennedy Center. Habba publicly accused former Kennedy Center board member Ric Grenell of mishandling a $5.6 million donation that Mildon claims he made to the arts venue. Grenell has denied these allegations, and the White House is reportedly investigating the matter.
Mildon and Habba first appeared together publicly in April, and they married in September at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. This marked Habba's third marriage and, reportedly, Mildon's second. His previous marriage, to a member of a prominent Turkish magnate family, reportedly ended in 2024.
However, The New York Times also reported that sources close to Mildon claimed he had a religious marriage ceremony last year with María Ceballos, the daughter of Venezuelan military commander Adm. Remigio Ceballos. This relationship reportedly occurred while Mildon was involved in business ventures in Venezuela. A spokesperson for Mildon told the Times that the ceremony was only an engagement, while Ceballos reportedly told friends they were married. As religious marriages in Turkey are not legally binding, Mildon's claim of only being engaged could be technically accurate.
Mildon, who is the CEO of investment firm Miller Holding, has claimed to be a billionaire, with Forbes Turkey reporting that his companies' revenues exceeded $2.6 billion in 2025. He has business interests in Venezuela and the Congo. He reportedly entered Trump's circle through Habba, and the dispute over the Kennedy Center donation has been a source of considerable stress for former President Trump, who reportedly asked White House counsel Will Scharf to investigate the matter.
Grenell has strongly denied Habba's allegations, stating, "It's absurd. I've never asked for one cent to be sent somewhere else pretending it was for the Kennedy Center and I've never received any payment from him at all." He challenged Mildon to provide proof of his claims.
