Former New York Governor, Eliot Spitzer, and his wife, Roxana Girand, decided to tie the knot in 2020 amidst the chaos of the coronavirus pandemic. They had originally planned for a large New York wedding but had to call it off due to the unforeseen circumstances. In a message to their family and friends, they explained that the reality of the COVID-19 virus had intervened in their plans. Despite the setback, they expressed their intention to proceed with a small, family-only wedding on April 4th, 2020. They were determined not to let the virus subdue their love for each other.
Although the couple had to cancel the planned event, they went ahead and got married on the same day at Spitzer’s Columbia County home near Millbrook. The news of their nuptials seemed to have gotten lost in the whirlwind of events, as Girand is still often referred to as Spitzer’s fiancée in the media. Despite the low-key nature of their wedding, the couple seemed to have embraced their new status as husband and wife with grace.
Spitzer and Girand were recently spotted at the Millbrook Horse Trials, radiating happiness and contentment. According to an insider, Spitzer appeared to be in high spirits and more comfortable and charming than ever before. The couple sponsored one of the tables at the event, which Spitzer described as “beautiful.” It was a delightful afternoon hosted by Barbara Tober at Yellow Frame Farm, where guests enjoyed stories and conversations with notable figures like Candace Bushnell.
The love story between Spitzer and Girand began in 2017 when they first became an item. They got engaged in 2019 and finally exchanged vows in 2020. Roxana Girand, the founder and president of Sebastian Capital, brought a new chapter of love and companionship into Spitzer’s life. Prior to his marriage to Girand, Spitzer was married to Silda Spitzer from 1987 to 2013. Their marriage came to an end five years after the infamous prostitution scandal that led to Spitzer’s resignation as governor in 2008.
The love story of Eliot Spitzer and Roxana Girand is a testament to the resilience of love in the face of challenges. Despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic, the couple found a way to celebrate their love in an intimate and meaningful way. Their journey together serves as an inspiration for couples facing obstacles in their relationships, showing that with determination and commitment, love can prevail.
