Alina Habba married Turkish energy CEO Turhan Mildon at a million-dollar Waldorf Astoria reception this weekend, drawing top Trump officials while the president watched football in Tennessee.
The former acting New Jersey U.S. attorney and one-time personal lawyer to President Donald Trump tied the knot with the 29-year-old CEO of Miller Holding at the legendary midtown hotel’s fourth-floor ballroom on Saturday night, the New York Post reported.
Habba, 42, and Mildon planned the wedding in just three months. Two top Palm Beach wedding planners handled the details. The couple had wanted the Plaza Hotel, but it was booked out.
A top event planner told the Post the cost to rent the ballroom and cover music and flowers ran “easily $1 million,” not counting guest rooms or other public spaces. Scores of pink and white cherry blossoms and hundreds of red roses filled the room.
FBI Director Kash Patel and U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche were spotted at the reception. Margo Martin, a special assistant and communications adviser to President Trump, arrived among the early guests. Boxer Mike Tyson also attended.
Trump himself did not make the Saturday night event. He was in Knoxville, Tennessee, watching No. 1 Texas edge No. 14 Tennessee 20-17 in a college football game. Readers tracking the administration’s inner circle have seen similar focus on loyalty and future plans, including when Trump settled on Vance as his 2028 pick.
Hours before the reception, Habba’s two young children, Chloe and Luke, were brought through the hotel lobby by a staffer.
This was Habba’s third trip down the aisle. She divorced first husband Matthew Eyet, an attorney and the father of her children, in 2019. She divorced second husband Gregg Reuben, a parking-lot magnate, sometime after she resigned as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor last December.
Habba and Mildon first met earlier this year at a Kennedy Center event in Washington. They were first spotted together publicly in April at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which was cut short when a gunman tried to rush the ballroom. On the Fourth of July they were seen partying at the Executive Branch private club in Washington, D.C.
Last week the couple appeared outside the Polo Room restaurant in West Palm Beach, Florida. Habba wore a large diamond engagement ring believed to be at least 23 carats and carried a pink ostrich Hermès Birkin bag that sells for $30,000. Coverage of Trump-world personal lives has stayed busy on other fronts, from Melania Trump’s planned docuseries to security concerns around the family.
Mildon runs Miller Holding, a Turkish multinational conglomerate founded by his grandfather in 1967. The firm specializes in energy, construction, and mining. Through the business he has reportedly developed close ties to government leaders in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Venezuela, including interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez.
The Waldorf setting put the couple in one of New York’s most famous ballrooms. That kind of high-profile venue work has also drawn attention in Washington, where Trump has fought preservation groups over a White House ballroom project.
Former Trump aides continue to surface in the news for their own reasons, including a teleprompter staffer who reached a six-figure settlement over prediction-market trades. Habba’s path has run the other direction: out of the U.S. attorney’s office, through a rapid courtship, and into a high-dollar New York wedding with senior law-enforcement figures in the room.
When a former Trump lawyer lands a Turkish industrial heir and packs the Waldorf with the FBI director and the attorney general, the message is simple, this circle still draws power, money, and attention on its own terms.
