Lauren Book & Blair Byrnes – Together Since 2015

In 2022, CBS News reported that the minority leader of the Florida Senate, Lauren Book, is pushing for a new law after being the victim of extortion. A well-known politician in her native state of Florida, she’s a member of the Democratic Party who’s been serving in the local senate since 2016.

Previously married to the professional golfer Kris Lim, Book has since found love in the arms of the technologist/account executive Blair Byrnes. They tied the knot in 2015, five years following Book’s divorce, and have since welcomed twin children to the world.
