Among the guests at the event was the father of Tiffany's husband, the Lebanese-born Nigerian entrepreneur Dr. Massad Boulos.
Tiffany's relationship with Michael Boulos
Tiffany, the daughter of Donald Trump and his second wife Marla Maples, has been married to 27-year-old Michael Boulos since November 2022. The law graduate, who unlike Donald Trump's other children is less politically involved, married the Nigerian entrepreneur's son at her father's estate in Mar-a-Lago (Palm Beach, Florida).
Tiffany Trump met Michael Boulos in 2018 while on holiday at a party with their mutual friend Lindsay Lohan on the Greek island of Mykonos. He proposed to her in the Rose Garden of the White House in 2021 - with an engagement ring costing a whopping $1.2 million. The ring is adorned with a 13-carat diamond.
Who is Donald Trump's son-in-law Michael Boulos?
Michael Boulos was born in Lebanon, but grew up in Nigeria. The billionaire heir not only attended the prestigious Regents University in London, but he also holds a Master's degree from the City University of London. According to BBC News, he has also been appointed Deputy Director of SOCA Nigeria. He and his wife Tiffany live in both London and the United States.
His father Massad runs Boulos Enterprises, a company based in Lagos, Nigeria, which specializes in the sale and assembly of motorcycles, bicycles and outboard motors. Apparently a very lucrative business.
This makes it all the more pleasing for US presidential candidate that Massad Boulos is supporting his re-election and is apparently even campaigning for him among the Arab-American community in Michigan. When he spotted him among the guests at the event in Detroit, he spilled his youngest daughter's sweet secret:
He happens to be the father of Tiffany's husband Michael, who is an extraordinary young man. And she's an extraordinary young woman. And she's going to have a baby. So that's nice.
Donald Trump's love and admiration for his son-in-law has come as a surprised to many, especially due to his anti-immigration rhetoric. In regards to Boulos' background, Trump has also often been called out for referring to his country, Nigeria, as a 'sh*thole country'. This happened during a meeting with senators in 2018—the same year Tiffany met her husband-to-be.
