Ginger Luckey is a 26 year-old American woman, best known for her December 30, 2020 engagement to controversial politician Matt Gaetz.[1][2][3]

She is the sister of Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey.[1] Her brother became wealthy, in 2014, when he sold his virtual reality company to Facebook, when he was just 21 years old, and is now known as a generous donor to the Republican Party.

Page Six reported the pair met in March 2020, at a Republican Party fund-raising event a Donald Trump's Mar-a-lago estate, and that they had a "very MAGA-heavy courtship".[4] The pair met at Mar-a-lago, became engaged at Mar-a-lago, and Gaetz said he hoped they would get married at Mar-a-lago.[5]

Luckey graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and works as an analyst for Apeel, a biotechnology company that makes protective coatings for fresh food.[1][2][4] She is also a student in Harvard University, online business program.[6]

In late March, 2021, The New York Times reported that Luckey's fiance, Gaetz, was under investigation for sex trafficking, and for having sexual relations with women below the legal age of consent. Multiple publications have noted that Luckey then marked her social media accountants private, and has not commented on the allegations against Gaetz, or on her relationship with him.[7]
