Beto O’Rourke and Amy Sanders – Together Since 2005
Beto O’Rourke went on to earn a national reputation running against Ted Cruz for the Texas Senate seat; he also ran for the Democratic Party’s nomination for President in 2020.
His wife, Amy O’Rourke, made her presence felt in the campaign trail, making appearances in Iowa, New Hampshire, and New York. When Beto O’Rourke announced his entry in the presidential race on March 14, he did so by releasing a video of himself and his wife, Amy O’Rourke, portraying their comfortable camaraderie from their El Paso home. That was the video that set the tone for the rest of the campaign.
Amy spent a year teaching kindergarten in Guatemala City before returning to El Paso, where she met Beto O’Rourke. She hit it off with him instantly and tied the knot in 2005, now they share three children together.
