The photographer who has stepped in while White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is on maternity leave has given fans a sneak peek into her private life and age gap relationship.
Margo Martin, 30, communications advisor, has been unfortunately hailed by her boss, Donald Trump, 79, as “the most beautiful photographer in the world”.
Earlier this month, Martin celebrated her second anniversary with her boyfriend, Brock Sorensen, 37, by posting an Instagram video showcasing their relationship highlights, including sunset strolls and cocktail dates.
The couple has a seven-year age gap as Trump’s new assistant was born in 1995 and her partner Sorensen in 1989.
Interest in Martin’s love life peaked during the president’s recent state visit to China, as she was mistaken for Trump’s wife, Melania, who is 26 years her senior.
Fans joked online that she was the first lady’s body double after she shared a video montage on Instagram documenting Trump's recent visit to China.
The footage showed President Trump meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping before the two leaders toured Beijing together.
Melania has been shrouded in rumors that she has been swapped for a body double since 2017.
Captioning a picture of Martin from the China visit, one X user said: "Trump called his communications advisor Margo Martin the most beautiful girl in the world.
“It's believed Martin was created by AI using the prompts Mar-a-Lago Face, Push-Up Bra, Sephora, Melania Body Double, Alina Habba Is Furious, Hot Rollers, and The Next Mrs. Pete Hegseth."
Another commenter suggested, "I think she may be the fake Melania that accompanies him sometimes.
“You can always tell the fake by her height. Mel is 5'11. She's tall. The fake is several inches shorter and less curvy."
Speculation about Martin’s love life has been rife since she came to public attention on the visit to China.
While it is unclear whether she is engaged to Soresen, people have been quick to point out the nearly ten-year age gap.
However, her predecessor, Leavitt, famously welcomed her second child with her husband Nicholas Riccio, who is 32 years her senior.
