The Unlikely Washington Love Story of Stephen and Katie Miller
In Washington’s fast‑moving political world, Stephen Miller and Katie Waldman Miller built something unusual: a marriage formed in the heat of policy debates. Their story begins in the corridors of power, yet it became something deeply personal.
Meeting Through Politics
Stephen Miller, a senior adviser in the Donald Trump White House and a chief architect of immigration policy, met Katie Waldman while she was serving as a communications official at the Department of Homeland Security and later as press secretary to Vice President Mike Pence. They moved in overlapping policy circles, which gave them a shared language and workload.
Bonding Under Pressure
They worked long hours under intense scrutiny. For Stephen, pressure came from shaping high‑stakes immigration policy. For Katie, pressure came from defending those policies in the media. Their shared environment forged a mutual understanding that few outsiders could match.
A Washington Wedding
They married on 16 February 2020, at the Trump International Hotel Washington D.C. in Washington, D.C. — a venue that underscored their ties to the administration. President Trump attended the wedding and joked about its timing during the Presidents’ Day weekend.
From White House to Life Beyond
Following the end of the Trump administration, both stepped out of the daily White House grind. Stephen continues to influence conservative advocacy. Katie has pivoted her career in communications and commentary. Their roles shifted — but their partnership remains rooted in what they built together.
A Partnership Grounded in Purpose
Their relationship stands out because it is grounded in mission and belief. They share convictions, they navigate public life together, and they appear to act as equals in a high‑stakes world. In many ways, their bond reflects a union of ideology as much as of hearts.
