From the New York Post: Sen. Chris Murphy was spotted at a Washington, DC, watering hole on a date with a progressive media mogul and strategist who’s boosted his efforts as a leading anti-Trump politician in Congress — just months after the Connecticut Democrat announced he and his wife were separating.
Murphy, 51, was caught “cuddling” with Courier Newsroom publisher Tara McGowan, 39, last Monday by the bar at the Red Hen, located just one mile north of Capitol Hill in the district’s Bloomingdale neighborhood, a source told The Post, sharing a photo of the pair’s romantic rendezvous.
The source said Murphy wrapped his arm around McGowan’s shoulder at one point, and the two were “being cutesy” while scanning the menu together for rustic Italian fare.
The cozy outing took place the night before President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress, which the senator sat out.
Murphy and his wife, Cathy Holahan, a lawyer based in Washington, married in 2007, and have two children together. They announced in November that they were parting ways, but according to the report, neither have yet filed for a divorce.
Until last year, McGowan was married to Michael Halle, a fellow Dem strategist and former senior adviser to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. They divorced in April of 2024.
McGowan founded Courier in 2019. The for-profit news organization is reportedly funded by liberal billionaires George Soros and Reid Hoffman.
As of Monday morning, McGowan has deactivated her X account.
