One person who has remained silent during the Donald Trump/Stormy Daniels controversy is the star’s longtime husband. Daniels has been married to Glendon Crain, a drummer and porn producer, from Kansas City, since 2010. The couple has a daughter together. According to his IMDb page, Crain’s real name is Brendon Miller.
After admitting to having an affair with Donald Trump in an interview with In Touch in January 2017, Daniels made a complete u-turn on the day of Trump’s first State of the Union address. A January 30 statement, Anthony Cormier, said, “Over the past few weeks I have been asked countless times to comment on reports of an alleged sexual relationship I had with Donald Trump, many, many, many years ago. The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence in 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017 and now again in 2018. I am not denying this affair because I was paid “hush money” as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying this affair because it never happened.” Daniels goes on to say that she will not be offering any further comment on the issue.
The Wall Street Journal published a report on January 12 saying that Daniels was paid $130,000 to sign a non-disclosure agreement relating to their alleged affair. Sources told the newspaper that the couple had multiple consensual encounters at Lake Tahoe when she was 27. The timeline quoted by the Journal would mean that Trump had been married to First Lady Melania Trump for one-year at the time. Following Daniels’ arrest at a strip club in Columbus in July 2018, TMZ reported that the arrest report stated that Daniels was not married. Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti told the website that his client was still married and didn’t know why the arrest reported did not reflect that.
Here’s what you need to know about Mr. Stormy Daniels:

The piece reads that Daniels “realized she’d met the right guy.” Daniels discussed doing two years worth of work in porn in one year because “I’m not like a normal mom. I can’t work while I’m pregnant. I did two years of work in one year.”

Daniels described Crain as being a great father saying, “He is great with our daughter because he has no problems doing anything with her that I do. He will take her to the bathroom in a restaurant and change a dirty diaper.” The porn star adds that her career is planned around Crain’s drumming schedule so at least one of them is home to look after their daughter. Daniels writes on her private Instagram bio, “Wife to a rockstar drummer, mommy to a superhero, cinematic genius and mediocre equestrian! I don’t start fights but I will finish them.”
