Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky announced in a social media post late Sunday night that he has recently remarried, after his first wife died 16 months earlier.
Rep. Massie was first married to Rhonda Massie for over 35 years, and the couple had four children together. She passed away June 27, 2024 at the age of 51.
In a post on X Sunday night, Massie announced the news of his remarriage. He wrote:
Carolyn and I would like to announce our recent marriage!
We were legally married in Kentucky on October 19th by the pastor of the church we have been attending for several months. This weekend we celebrated with close friends and family at a Christian wedding ceremony in Pennsylvania where Carolyn is from.
Carolyn Grace Moffa and I first met professionally over a decade ago when she worked for Senator Rand Paul. As Senator Paul’s Ag policy staffer until 2016, Carolyn was a very early proponent and practitioner of Making America Healthy Again. She even visited me and my late wife Rhonda on our grass-fed cattle farm several years ago. Carolyn has not previously been married. I have four adult children, who are all married to wonderful people, and three grandchildren from my blessed 31 year marriage to Rhonda who I still miss every day.
We will reside on the farm in Kentucky where Carolyn recently helped me re-establish ducks and chickens to go with the beef cattle. We plan to travel back-and-forth to DC and throughout Kentucky as my congressional responsibilities require.
Fun facts about our wedding: Of course we served raw milk with the wedding cake and margaritas made with frozen peaches from our farm! Senator Rand Paul and Representatives Jim Jordan, Warren Davidson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Victoria Spartz attended, however the real VIPs were my three grandkids. My oldest grandson was the ring bearer. I proposed to Carolyn on the steps of the Library of Congress which was the location of our first date.
Please pray for us as Carolyn steps into the arena with me. With her support, I look forward to continuing my fight for freedom for the great people of Kentucky!

Who gets married one year after their wife of 30 years passes away? 🤔
Bizarre.
