As Stephen Miller catapulted into the headlines after becoming Trump’s new chief of staff Friday, his wife Katie is not shying away from the public eye either.
Instead, she boasted about her husband as a ‘sexual matador’ and tries to sell herself as a good wife, after it was revealed she spent weeks lobbying for his promotion.
The 35-year-old joked about her husband’s prowess during an interview on Fox News last year when the host suggested she is the ‘envy of all women.’
‘The sexual matador right…,’ she said. ‘He’s an incredibly inspiring man who gets me going in the morning with his speeches being like “Let’s start the day I’m going to defeat the left and we are going to win!”‘
She also took her newly found confidence to social media, after Politico reported she instructed several people to call the president and float the idea of Stephen replacing his former boss Susie Wiles.
‘BREAKING: Wife supports husband,’ Katie posted on X referring to the piece from Friday evening. ‘If your wife doesn’t do this, find a new one,’ she added.
As Stephen Miller now steps into Wiles’s shoes – she was long deemed untouchable as the commander in chief’s longtime aide – the influence of his wife is set to skyrocket.
She is already a MAGA maven, wielding significant sway within the top echelons of the Trump administration, making the Millers an extraordinarily influential power couple for the final two years of Trump’s presidency.

Last year, Katie Miller launched a podcast for conservative women and her first guest was JD Vance, followed by other senior members of the administration including Marco Rubio, with her husband helping to get guests.
She has also become a kind of unofficial MAGA social secretary, hosting parties at the couple’s home on a military base outside Washington.
Everyone who’s anyone in the administration has reportedly been seen there, from Rubio to Scott Bessent, Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel.
She reportedly threw bashes for Karoline Leavitt’s birthday and Todd Blanche’s confirmation as attorney general.
‘Love her or hate her, when she says she’s going to do something, she does it far better than you would ever expect,’ Leavitt later told Vanity Fair. ‘And that is true of her party planning. She goes over the top. It’s always a family-friendly affair, and she invites everyone.’
Miller herself rejected Vanity Fair’s comparisons of their home to the court of Versailles and the Kennedys’ Camelot.
‘We pay rent for our home at the fair market rate, we also pay for most maintenance and repairs,’ she told the magazine last month.
‘I host birthday parties for my children in our backyard like most families. My goal is to build a community and friends for our kids – only the Legacy Media can spin that into something negative.’

As she continues her podcast, intended to be a conservative answer to ‘Call Her Daddy,’ not just about politics, the couple has been the target of hate.
They were forced to move to a military base after protests near their previous home in Arlington, Virginia, including posters with their address and accusing Stephen Miller of ‘crimes against humanity,’ and messages left in chalk on the road.
The day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a protester outside her home told Katie Miller: ‘I’m watching you.’
A month ago, a Massachusetts man was arrested and charged with cyberstalking after targeting her with dozens of menacing phone calls and messages.
As Katie Waldman, she grew up in Florida before moving to Washington and working in communications for a Republican senator and then the Department of Homeland Security during the storm over family separations at the border in Trump’s first term. Later, she became Mike Pence’s press secretary.
She met Stephen Miller in 2018 and they married two years later in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, with the president as a guest. They now have four children, the latest born in June.

In Trump’s second term, Katie Miller was an adviser to Elon Musk on the Department of Government Efficiency, and then continued to work for the world’s richest man after he had an explosive fallout with Trump and returned to the private sector.
At the time, while Katie Miller was working for him, Musk unfollowed Stephen Miller on X.
In July 2025, she confirmed she still worked for Musk, saying: ‘My paycheck still comes from him.’
But the following month, she launched her own podcast instead, declaring: ‘For MAGA and President Trump’s legacy to grow long-term, we must talk to conservative women.’
In the wake of the midterms, she faced a backlash from critics after it emerged she hadn’t voted.
At 8.14am on Election Day, she wrote on X: ‘Vote like your life depends on it.’
At 3.56pm that day she added: ‘Election Day always makes me want to have more kids to cancel out the votes of the America hating leftists. After all, conservatives have more babies.’
In the aftermath of the Republican disaster, she admitted to not casting a ballot herself.

She told CBS News host Norah O’Donnell: ‘You see that moms are too busy raising their children and taking care of them to go to the polls.
‘I did not vote in Virginia because, in Virginia, when you vote, you dox your own address, and so I prefer my own safety and security over giving that up.’
Miller also blamed ‘candidate quality’ for her party’s losses as Democrats won control of both the House and Senate.
She did not accept the notion that the election was a referendum on the Trump administration, putting up a united front with her husband, who will now have the mission of turning it all around.
