As it turns out, Jen Psaki’s husband, Gregory Mecher, is no stranger to politics either! The story goes that the pair first met while working with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Psaki had just accepted a new role in the communications department, and Mescher was serving as a deputy finance director. Prior to that, he earned a communications degree from Northern Kentucky University. During his time there, he even landed an internship as a scheduler for Ken Lucas, a U.S. representative from Kentucky’s 4th congressional district. Not too shabby, eh?!

Alas, Psaki and Mecher’s love story isn’t exactly the stuff of fairy tales. During their first encounter, Psaki gave him bad driving directions. “I have no sense of direction. I didn’t know even where we were, but I was like, ‘Oh, I think you take a left,'” Psaki recalled about the mishap during an interview with The Washington Post. “By the time I got there, I was wondering who the heck this person was,” Mecher admitted. Fortunately, after just one look at Psaki, all was forgiven. According to Mecher, he thought Psaki was “cute.”
