Matt Gaetz’s Son: Did Matt Gaetz have a son before marrying Ginger Luckey?

Did Matt Gaetz have a son before marrying Ginger Luckey?
Matt Gaetz opened up about his adopted son Nestor Galban in 2020.

Donald Trump’s Attorney General Pick Matt Gaetz is on the radar because he is one of the most controversial picks so far and many Republicans are hoping he doesn’t become AG because he won’t be confirmed by the Senate. He was under investigation for having sex with a 17-year-old and paying for the sex. The House Ethics Committee’s report against him was to be released, but he resigned from Congress after his appointment, thus placing himself outside the committee’s jurisdiction.
It now appears that Gaetz, 42, has an adopted son, Nestor, who he has not hidden from the world. He introduced his “adopted son” Nestor to the world in 2020. Gaetz said Nestor was adopted from Cuba and was only 12 years old when he arrived in the United States from Cuba in 2014.

The revelation came in 2020 when Gaetz argued with Democratic Rep. Cedric Richmond during a House Judiciary Committee hearing over the need for police reform and raising children of color. In that fight, Richmond attacked Gaetz as having no experience raising a child of color, and in response, Gatez introduced his adopted son to the world. “Are you suggesting that you are certain that none of us have non-white children? » said Gaetz. “You claim you care more about my family than me? Who the hell do you think you are? Gaetz, who was 38 at the time, said as much during the debate.
“For anyone wondering, this is my son Nestor. We don’t share blood but he is my life. He came from Cuba (legally, of course) six years ago and lives with me in Florida. I am so proud of him and raising him has been the best and most rewarding thing I have done in my life,” Matt posted.
According to reports, Gaetz was dating Nestor’s older sister around this time, and then adopted him when their mother died of breast cancer. But there were doubts about whether Gaetz had no blood relation to Nestor and whether Gaetz had legally adopted him.

Gaetz paid for sex with Nestor’s PayPal: report

Now Gaetz’s adopted son has made headlines as the lawyer, representing two women who claimed they were paid by Gaetz for sex, said the women were paid through Nestor’s PayPal. That was one of the payment methods, Florida attorney Joel Leppard said.
Gaetz married Ginger Luckey in 2021 after a sexual offense investigation was opened against him and the couple have no children.
