Millennial celebs who are married to an elected government official
It seems wedding bells are ringing for a lot of celebrities who are part of the millennial age group.
Britannica defines millennial, also called Generation Y (Gen Y), as an age group compisirng of people born between 1981 and 1996.
In show business, celebrities born in this period found fame during the late '90s to the 2010s.
Some of these celebrities, who started in the industry at a young age, have now found love outside show business and some tied the knot with a politician. While others exchanged “I Do's” with their partner who was not a politician then but eventually ventured into politics.
Let us meet these millennials who are now married to their spouse who is an elected government official in this gallery.
