Alina Habba, a name that’s become familiar to anyone following high-profile legal and political dramas in recent years, has quietly closed one chapter of her personal life while stepping more firmly into the spotlight of another. According to multiple reports, including exclusive coverage from the Daily Mail and confirmation by The Post, Habba has finalized her divorce from businessman Gregg Reuben and relocated to Florida, settling into a home just a stone’s throw from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
This personal development comes after months—perhaps years—of mounting tension and change, both professionally and privately, for Habba. The divorce, filed discreetly in New Jersey Superior Court in February 2026, was resolved almost as quickly as it began. Sources familiar with the matter told the Daily Mail the split was amicable, with the couple having already separated sometime in 2025 before the legal proceedings became public knowledge. "If there's one thing I know about Alina Habba, it's that she doesn't take s**t from anyone," a confidant told the Daily Mail. "She's widely successful, a rockstar mom, and I have no doubt she'll eventually find someone who celebrates her sparkle instead of trying to dim it. Until then, she's doing just fine being a boss."
Habba’s marriage to Reuben began on December 31, 2020, in New Jersey, not long after she finalized her divorce from her first husband, attorney Matthew Eyet, in 2019. She has two children from her first marriage and became a stepmother to Reuben’s son, often referring to the trio affectionately as her "three nuggets" on social media. However, she and Reuben did not have children together during their nearly six-year marriage.
Reuben, a Harvard Business School graduate and the founder and CEO of Centerpark—a prominent New York City-based parking management firm—has built his own reputation in the business world. He’s also served as a chair on the U.S. Department of Transportation board. Despite his success, sources close to the couple suggest that the strains of Habba’s increasingly public and high-octane career may have played a role in the separation. "She’s a self-made lawyer who fought her way to the top, a devoted mom and someone who refuses to dim her personality to satisfy critics," a friend told The Post. "Even when life throws personal challenges her way."
Insiders say the couple had been juggling life between New Jersey and Florida, but the demands of Habba’s career—and perhaps the pull of the political world in Palm Beach—ultimately nudged her to make a clean break. One source described Habba as "constantly working and running, traveling—the woman doesn’t stop. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. She’s a machine." They added that Habba "initiated the split" and that, while unfortunate, "this sort of situation was the right thing for her and her family."
Habba’s move to Palm Beach places her in the heart of the so-called "MAGAverse," just minutes from Mar-a-Lago and surrounded by the energy of Trump’s political orbit. She’s reportedly excited to settle her children in Florida, joining a wave of political allies and former administration figures who have gravitated to the area. "She’s super happy in Florida so far and looking forward to situating her kids there. Similar to a lot of MAGA world, I think it’s a positive new chapter and I’m excited to see what she’s going to do," a source told The Post.
Professionally, Habba’s star has continued to rise, even amid controversy. She first gained national attention in 2021 when Trump hired her as his personal attorney, a move that would see her representing the former president in several high-profile legal battles—including the defamation lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll, which resulted in a staggering $83.3 million award to the New York writer, as reported by The Daily Beast. Her legal acumen and willingness to take on headline-grabbing cases quickly made her a fixture in Trump’s inner circle.
Her public profile soared further in 2025 when she was appointed acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. The appointment, however, was not without controversy. The chief U.S. district judge, Matthew W. Brann, ruled that she had been unlawfully serving past her 120-day term without Senate confirmation. A three-judge panel upheld the ruling on December 1, 2025, disqualifying her from the position. Habba resigned from the role shortly thereafter, but Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that Habba would continue with the Department of Justice as Senior Advisor to the Attorney General for U.S. Attorneys. This move effectively made her the de facto overseer for all U.S. Attorneys, despite the lack of formal confirmation for the New Jersey post.
Even after her resignation, Habba has remained in the public eye. She’s appeared on cable news to defend Trump and criticize political opponents—sometimes with mixed results. In one recent appearance on Newsmax, she mistakenly conflated the identities of baseball legend Reggie Jackson and the late civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson while attempting to criticize Vice President Kamala Harris. "If you look at Kamala Harris’s comments of desperation at Reggie Jackson’s funeral, and she didn’t even know him, if you look at this, they’re reaching so far," Habba said, drawing swift correction and ridicule, as The Daily Beast noted. (Reggie Jackson is, in fact, alive, and Harris had a longstanding relationship with Rev. Jackson.)
Despite the bumps, Habba’s career trajectory remains upward. As of early 2026, she is serving as Senior Advisor to Attorney General Pam Bondi, continuing to shape the direction of U.S. Attorneys across the country. Her supporters describe her as "zero bulls–t" and "a strong woman" who was "lucky enough to leave a man not worth sharing a life with," according to The Post. There’s a sense among those close to her that Habba is poised for new opportunities—both personally and professionally—as she settles into Florida life.
Meanwhile, Reuben, for his part, has not commented publicly on the divorce. The split, by all accounts, was handled with the same efficiency and directness that Habba brings to her legal work. Those who know her are confident she’ll continue to thrive, both as a "rockstar mom" and as a legal and political force to be reckoned with.
As the dust settles, Habba’s next chapter is already underway—one defined by ambition, resilience, and an unyielding drive to remain at the forefront of America’s legal and political conversation.
