Alina Habba to Marry Turkish Businessman Turhan Mildon

Alina Habba prepares to marry Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon

News about the possible wedding of Alina Habba, Donald Trump's former personal attorney and former White House adviser, and Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon has attracted attention in both the United States and Turkey. Following reports about the upcoming marriage, journalists have once again focused on the Mildon family, including the court history of Turhan Mildon's father, Mert Mildon, and his participation in the Turkish Language Olympiad in 2013.

Important: the phrase "Trump's Turkish son-in-law", which has appeared in some Turkish media headlines, is a journalistic description. Alina Habba is not Donald Trump's daughter or relative.

What is known about Alina Habba and Turhan Mildon's wedding

Turkish media reported on September 24 that Alina Habba and Turhan Mildon were preparing to marry. According to Odatv, citing Ragip Soylu, head of the Turkish bureau of Middle East Eye, the couple have reportedly been together for about a year, while Mildon proposed to Habba in September 2026.

Reports about the date and location of the ceremony differ. Odatv reported plans for a wedding in Istanbul, while several other Turkish publications mentioned New York. At the time of publication, no joint public statement from the couple confirming all the details had been cited.

For this reason, the exact location of the wedding should currently be treated as media reporting rather than a definitively confirmed fact.

Who is Turhan Mildon?

Turhan Mildon represents the third generation of a family associated with Miller Holding. Turkish media describe him as an executive in the family business and as vice president of the Çorum football club.

His father, Mert Mildon, has also held senior positions in the family's business operations for many years. Turhan's mother is Fatoş Mildon, while his sister, Alara Mildon, has also appeared in Turkish entertainment and society news.

Why Mert Mildon's name has returned to the headlines

Following reports about the wedding, Turkish media once again turned their attention to the court history of Turhan Mildon's father. Turkish publications have reported that Mert Mildon had previously been tried in a FETÖ/PDY-related case in Çanakkale and was acquitted in that proceeding.

Some reports have also referred to another, later legal case. His current procedural status in that matter was not independently confirmed in the sources used for this article, so these reports should not be interpreted as proof of guilt.

His speech at the Turkish Language Olympiad

Another detail highlighted by Turkish media concerns Mert Mildon's appearance at the 11th International Turkish Language Olympiad in 2013.

During an event in Çanakkale, Mildon spoke about Miller Oto's support for the competition and the company's role as a sponsor.

Reports from the period stated that Mert Mildon addressed the event and spoke about his company's sponsorship of the Turkish Language Olympiad.

This episode returned to the Turkish media agenda after news emerged about his son's relationship with Alina Habba.

Alina Habba's role in Donald Trump's political circle

Alina Habba became widely known in the United States through her work as Donald Trump's attorney. Between 2021 and 2024, she represented him in several high-profile civil legal cases.

After Trump returned to the White House, Habba served as a presidential adviser and later took a position in the federal prosecutor's office in New Jersey. The legality of her continued service as acting U.S. attorney subsequently became the subject of court proceedings.

In August 2025, a federal court ruled that the procedure used for her appointment as acting U.S. attorney was unlawful, and the decision was later upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Habba subsequently left the position.

Who is Alina Habba?

Alina Habba was born and raised in New Jersey. She earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Lehigh University before receiving her law degree from Widener University Commonwealth Law School.

Before building her legal career, Habba also worked in the fashion industry. She later moved into legal practice and became nationally known through her work for Donald Trump.

Reports about her relationship with Turhan Mildon began attracting significant attention in both Turkish and American media in September 2026.

The story has drawn particular interest because it connects a prominent figure from Donald Trump's political and legal circle with a well-known Turkish business family.
