The marriage is Cameron’s second, according to the Courier Journal. Between 2015 and 2017, Cameron was married, according to the Daily Mail. During that time, Cameron served as McConnell’s legal counsel in Washington D.C. In 2017, Cameron, a native of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, returned to his home state to work for a private law firm.
Cameron became internationally famous in September 2020 after a grand jury failed to recommend charges for the police officers who shot Breonna Taylor, 26, dead in March 2020. One of the three officers, Brett Hankison, is facing three counts of wanton endangerment after bullets fired traveled into one of Taylor’s neighbor’s apartments. Cameron and Evans came under criticism for hosting an engagement party in June 2020 amid nationwide protests following the deaths of Taylor and of George Floyd.
