Remember when Rudy Giuliani was the Mayor of New York and got everyone through the September 11th tragedy with his leadership? Since then, he has become President Trump’s personal lawyer and sometimes-public speaker on his behalf, following the whole Michael Cohen fiasco. And on many occasions, people have questioned his sanity.

But what about the mayor-turned-Trump lawyer’s family? Is he married? Does he have children? We’re just as curious as you. Who is Rudy Giuliani’s wife? Here are 9 things to know about Judith Giuliani, also referred to as Judith Nathan, and the details of their truly messy and awful divorce.

1. She has a daughter.

She and her second husband adopted a daughter, Whitney, in 1985. Though Giuliani has two children of his own from his second marriage, he became Whitney’s stepfather when he and Judith married.

2. She’s a nurse.

Judith attended a two-year nursing program affiliated with Penn State University and became a registered nurse in 1974. Of her decision to work as a nurse, she says it was “one of the most practical, wonderful ones I ever made because, aside from the science, you learn crisis management, decision making, prioritizing.”

3. They were introduced by a mutual friend.

The couple met in 1999 at Club Macanudo, an Upper East Side cigar bar. A mutual doctor friend introduced the two, and they began an ongoing relationship. This was scandalous because Giuliani was still married at the time!

4. They began dating while he was still married.

At the time when they first got involved with one another, Giuliani was still married to his second wife, Donna Hanover, and the two were living together. Judith was still living with a romantic partner.

In 2000, Giuliani arranged for the NYPD security to start chauffeuring Judith around and a few months later, the couple began appearing together in public. Giuliani acknowledged Judith as his “very good friend,” and told the press he was separating from his wife.

5. She is his third wife.

Who knew Rudy Giuliani was such a player? The two became engaged in November 2002 and were married in May 2003. His first marriage was to his second cousin, Regina Peruggi, from 1968 to the mid-70s. He and his second wife, Donna Hanover, were married from 1984 until they officially divorced in 2002.

But Giuliani is also Judith’s third marriage. She was first married to a medical supply salesman named Jeffrey Ross from 1974 to 1979. She married her second husband, wallpaper salesman Bruce Nathan, less than a week after her divorce, and met him while she was separated from Ross.

Her marriage to Nathan led to a lengthy divorce and custody battle over their adopted daughter, Whitney, and in 1992 when their divorce was finalized, she won primary custody.
