Who is Ron DeSantis’ wife Casey?

Casey DeSantis has been the first lady of Florida since her husband became governor in 2019.

She spoke of their new roles and raising little Madison, Mason and Mamie in an interview a few months after her husband took office.

It’s the first time in five decades that young children are living in the governor’s mansion in Tallahassee.

“We’re just going to make sure that they don’t destroy any of Florida’s irreplaceable history, because there are so many wonderful, neat artifacts around,” Casey DeSantis told Tallahassee magazine, referring to the historic mansion.

“You go into the dining room, you see stuff from the USS Florida. You see the late 19th-century wallpaper, and I don’t think that orange crayon would look good on that.”

Casey DeSantis is a former television news anchor and host.

She was raised in Ohio and received her Bachelor of Science degree from the College of Charleston in South Carolina.

How did Ron and Casey DeSantis meet?

It was the game of golf that brought her and Ron DeSantis together when she was working in television news in Florida.

“We met at the University of North Florida at the driving range off Kernan,” she told First Coast News in 2018.

“I kept looking over my shoulder because I wanted the bucket of balls that somebody had left because my swing was so terrible.

“I needed as much practice as I could possibly get. As I’m looking over behind me, Ron is over there. He thinks I’m looking at him.

“I was really looking at the balls. Long story short we started to talk and that’s how we met.”

When asked about her husband, she told the station: “He’s always been a guy that’s been pushing me in the right direction to succeed and I think that’s very special.”

She added: “He does a good job. I’m very appreciative of the job he does when he gets the chance to be home.”

They were married in 2010.
