Garrison, Kentucky – Representative Thomas Massie has officially remarried, announcing his union with Carolyn Grace Moffa, a former aide to Senator Rand Paul. The couple tied the knot legally on October 19 in Kentucky, followed by a celebratory Christian ceremony in Pennsylvania. Massie, who is 54, and Moffa, who is 36, have been acquainted for over ten years since Moffa’s tenure with Senator Paul. After the passing of his first wife, Rhonda, in June 2024, Massie expressed appreciation for the support he has received and seeks prayers as they begin this new chapter in their lives.
Massie previously spent 31 years married to Rhonda Howard, who passed away on June 27, 2024, at the age of 51. Together, they had four children. Following their wedding in Kentucky, which was officiated by their church pastor, Massie and Moffa celebrated with family and friends at a ceremony in Pennsylvania, attended by several members of Congress including Senator Rand Paul and Representatives Jim Jordan, Warren Davidson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Victoria Spartz.

Looking ahead, Massie and Moffa plan to reside at Massie’s farm in Kentucky, where they have started re-establishing livestock. They intend to travel to Washington, D.C., and around Kentucky as Massie continues his responsibilities in Congress.
