Dan Scavino, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff and longtime aide to President Donald Trump, announced on social media Wednesday night that he is now engaged to be married.
Scavino posted a video of himself walking just outside the Oval Office with his girlfriend, Erin Elmore, the Director of Art in Embassies at U.S. Department of State.
He points at something for her to look at in the distance, then kneels behind her holding out the engagement ring.
“She said YES,” he wrote, sharing the video.

Scavino has two sons with his first wife, Jennifer Scavino, who he was married to from 2000 until 2018.
Scavino, 49, from New York is one of President Trump’s most trusted, longtime aides. He first met Donald Trump in 1990 while he was a freshman in college and worked as a caddie and bag room assistant at Briar Hall Country Club. The Country Club was later acquired by Trump and renamed the Trump National Golf Club Westchester. In January 2004 Scavino became the club’s assistant manager, was promoted to general manager in April 2006, and then executive vice president in September 2008.
When Trump announced his 2016 presidential campaign in June 2015, Scavino came on board to work for the campaign, and has remained by the president’s side ever since, serving in the White House all four years of the first term, supporting Trump as an advisor throughout the four years he was out of the White House and through his 2024 campaign. Scavino then returned as White House Deputy Chief of Staff when Trump was inaugurated back into office in January.
Elmore, 47, a Philadelphia native, is a lawyer, a former television reporter, and former contestant on the reality show, The Apprentice. She has also worked as a Republican strategist, and was an executive director of USA Strong. Elmore was previously married to Craig M. Spitzer, and they have one child.
Congratulations are pouring in on social media for the happy couple.
President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, “What a great couple—Congratulations! President DJT.”
