A shared love of right-wing politics, the Hand of God, and a FaceTime proposal
before they'd even been on a date. Candace Owens' husband wooed her in an unusual way.
Political commentator Candace Owens seems to always be on the attack. From hurling insults
at Democrats, to sharing anti-vax rhetoric, to inciting unlikely Twitter feuds with Cardi B,
Owens continues to occupy the spotlight as a controversial conservative media figure.
One of Owens' more memorable meltdowns was aimed at singer Harry Styles following his
appearance on the cover of Vogue's December 2020 issue. Owens was apparently outraged
that Styles bent gender norms by wearing a gown for the photoshoot, tweeting,
"This was not an attack on Harry Styles. He happened to
be the man in the dress. But really it was more of an attack on Vogue."
More recently, Owens took aim at Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg,
after he took paternity leave. The conservative commentator tweeted,
"I think it is wrong for our society to keep perverting things."
Owens undoubtedly has strong opinions about men in today's world. As a result,
many are wondering what makes the man in her life, husband George Farmer, stand out.
On brand with her outspoken persona, Candace Owens' husband comes from a family with a
political background. British-born George Farmer is the son of Lord Michael Farmer,
a member of an elite, law-making government body called the House of Lords. George
reportedly graduated from St Peter's College at Oxford University with a degree in theology.
Like his wife, George Farmer has staunch conservative values. He's the former
chairman of right-wing group Turning Point UK, and was recently named the CEO of Parler,
a microblogging app used almost exclusively by far-right Trump
supporters. In an interview with the Financial Times, Farmer said,
Owens' relationship with the fellow conservative thinker moved quickly. According to the Daily
Mail, Farmer proposed to Owens after knowing her for only two and a half weeks. After only
eight months of dating, Owens and Farmer married at the Trump Winery in Virginia
over Labor Day weekend in 2019. However, the black-tie affair didn't lead Trump loyalist
Owens to shed her political affiliation for the evening. As reported by the Daily Mail, Owens
and her husband shared a MAGA-inspired wedding cake that read "Make Weddings Great Again."
It's clear that Owens and Farmer share a bond beyond their love of right-wing policy. Farmer
sang the praises of his wife following their wedding, writing on social media,
The couple soon decided to expand their family, and in January 2021,
Owens happily announced that she and Farmer had welcomed a baby boy. In
July 2022, she took to Instagram to announce the birth of a baby girl.
While Farmer lays low on social media as the new Parler CEO, Owens continues to share glimpses of
her husband on Instagram. For instance, in October 2021, Owens endorsed Donald Trump's
return in the 2024 election, by sharing a photo taken with the former president and her husband.
Despite their seemingly whirlwind romance,
the relationship between Owens and Farmer was apparently strictly platonic at the
start. During an appearance on the "Pints with Aquinas" podcast, the Parler founder explained,
Apparently, their conversations were enough to convince Farmer that Owens was the one.
Despite having never gone on a date, Farmer decided to ask Owens to marry him. Revealing
that he proposed over a FaceTime call, Farmer said during his podcast appearance,
What's more, Farmer said that the decision to marry was brought about by a spiritual
awakening, explaining on "Pints with Aquinas,"
"There's a little bit of a story there in relation to the Hand of God."
Luckily, Owens seemed to feel the same, and described Farmer as her miracle on Instagram.
