Alina Habba, Ex-Trump Lawyer, Marries Turkish Billionaire in Lavish Waldorf Astoria Ceremony

Alina Habba, a prominent former acting New Jersey US attorney and one-time personal lawyer for President Donald Trump, married Turkish billionaire Turhan Mildon on Saturday in a lavish reception at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Mildon, 29, is the CEO of Miller Holding, a Turkish multinational conglomerate.

The celebration took place in the hotel's fourth-floor ballroom, which was adorned with numerous pink and white cherry blossoms and hundreds of red roses. An event planner estimated the cost for the venue, music, and flowers to be at least $1 million, excluding additional expenses for guest accommodations.

The couple reportedly planned the event in just three months, enlisting two top wedding planners from Palm Beach. They had initially considered the Plaza Hotel but found it unavailable.

Mildon's business interests, which include energy, construction, and mining, have led to connections with government leaders in countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Venezuela, including Venezuelan interim President Delcy Rodriguez.

Guests began arriving Saturday afternoon. Among those seen attending the event were Margo Martin, a special assistant to President Trump; FBI Director Kash Patel; and US Attorney General Todd Blanche. President Trump himself did not attend, as he was in Knoxville, Tennessee, for a college football game.

Habba and Mildon's public relationship began earlier this year, with their first public sighting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in April. They were later seen together at a private club in Washington, D.C., on July 4th.

Last week, Habba was photographed wearing a large diamond engagement ring, reportedly 23 carats, and carrying a pink ostrich Hermès Birkin bag, valued at $30,000, while with Mildon in West Palm Beach, Florida.

This marks Habba's third marriage. She divorced her second husband, parking lot magnate Gregg Reuben, after resigning from her federal prosecutor role in December. Her first marriage was to attorney Matthew Eyet, with whom she shares two children.
