Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly – Together Since 2003
Gabby Giffords made global news after narrowly escaping death in a shooting incident in 2011. Gabrielle, the representative from Arizona, is among the few who emerged alive. She later decided to retire from public administration and hand over the torch to her spouse, Mark Kelly. In 2020, Mark, a former navy pilot, and astronaut ran for the United States Senate.
You must be wondering how did these two personalities come together? Kelly and Giffords encountered each other a few times in 2003 and then became pals before falling in love. According to AZ Central, the pair walked down the aisle in 2007 and embarked on the adventure of a long-distance marriage. He was working in Arizona when she was still following her career in politics in Washington, D.C.
The 2011 Tucson mass shooting drew them closer together, and in Kelly’s opinion, they now see more of one other than ever before. We hope the couple has the best of luck.
