Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and Roxana Girand made headlines when they quietly tied the knot in 2020. The couple had originally planned a big wedding in New York, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, they were forced to call off the event. In a message to family and friends, they explained, “Reality, in the form of the dreaded covid-19 virus, unfortunately, has intervened.” Despite the setback, they were determined to get married in a small, family-only event on April 4th. Although the event was canceled, they still went through with the ceremony at Spitzer’s Columbia County home near Millbrook.
Spitzer and Girand were seen together at the Millbrook Horse Trials, where they sponsored one of the tables. According to a source, Spitzer appeared happier and more comfortable in his own skin than ever before. The once controversial politician was described as charming and relaxed at the event. The couple seemed to enjoy themselves, with Spitzer calling it “a beautiful event.”
The event hosted by Barbara Tober at Yellow Frame Farm was a delightful affair, as former Bride’s magazine EIC shared horse tales with “Sex and the City” author Candace Bushnell. Tober reminisced about her childhood experiences with horses, while Bushnell revealed her membership in the Pony Club at school. The event was a mix of nostalgia and elegance, with attendees sharing their love for horses and the outdoors.
Spitzer and Girand’s love story began in 2017, and they got engaged in 2019. Girand, the founder and president of Sebastian Capital, has been a supportive partner to Spitzer. The former governor was previously married to Silda Spitzer from 1987 to 2013. Their marriage came to an end after the infamous prostitution scandal that led to Spitzer’s resignation as governor in 2008. Despite the challenges they faced in the past, Spitzer and Girand have found happiness in each other’s company.
Overall, the love story of Eliot Spitzer and Roxana Girand is a tale of resilience and new beginnings. Despite the obstacles they have overcome, they have managed to create a life together filled with love and happiness. Their wedding, amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic, symbolizes their determination to be together no matter what challenges come their way. As they continue on their journey as husband and wife, may they be blessed with many more years of joy and love together.
