Michael Boulos is Tiffany Trump‘s fiance. He is a Lebanese man whose family is now based in Nigeria and runs Boulos Enterprises in the country. The two have been dating since 2018. In an Instagram post on January 19, 2021, Trump announced she and Boulos are engaged.
Her announcement came on her father’s final full day as president. Trump posted a photo of her with Boulos at the White House and wrote, “It has been an honor to celebrate many milestones, historic occasions and create memories with my family here at the White House, none more special than my engagement to my amazing fiancé Michael! Feeling blessed and excited for the next chapter!”
Boulos wrote on his Instagram along with the same photo, “Got engaged to the love of my life! Looking forward to our next chapter together 💍❤️.”
Boulos, like Trump, comes from considerable wealth through a family business. He and the president’s daughter have been together since the summer of 2018, according to a report by People.
President Donald Trump has not acknowledged his daughter’s boyfriend in any public remarks, nor has he acknowledged the fact that Boulos comes from Nigeria, one of the countries the president described as a “s*******” country.
The exact value of Boulos Enterprises is not known, but Vanity Fair described Boulos as a “billionaire heir.”
