Alina Habba's friends say they are celebrating her decision to divorce millionaire parking entrepreneur Gregg Reuben and relocate to Florida, telling the New York Post that the former acting New Jersey US attorney is 'lucky enough to leave a man not worth sharing a life with' in a split quietly finalised after she stepped down in December.

The news came after months of speculation around Alina Habba's personal life, which intensified when she resigned as the Garden State's top federal prosecutor late last year and was then spotted increasingly in Florida. According to multiple friends, the 41‑year‑old lawyer and former fashion executive had been living separately from Reuben for a short period before initiating divorce proceedings, which they say have now been settled amicably.

Friends Rally Around Alina Habba After Gregg Reuben Split

For those unaware, Habba is best known politically as one of Donald Trump's former personal lawyers, a role that vaulted her into what her friends describe as 'MAGA world.' Those same friends now insist the move south, and away from her six‑year marriage to Reuben, has left her both professionally and personally freer.

'Alina is constantly working and running, travelling — the woman doesn't stop, I've never seen anything quite like it. She's a machine,' one friend told the Post. The same friend said they are 'excited for her to find someone who can reciprocate that energy and also supplement it,' arguing that Reuben had remained 'very much in the shadows' throughout the relationship.

Another friend, quoted by name only as a close confidante, painted a picture of Alina Habba as determined and unbothered by public criticism. They described her as 'a self‑made lawyer who fought her way to the top, a devoted mom and someone who refuses to dim her personality to satisfy critics, even when life throws personal challenges her way.'

The most pointed assessment, though, came in the line that has ricocheted across US media: that Habba is a 'strong woman' who was 'lucky enough to leave a man not worth sharing a life with.' That characterisation of Reuben is entirely sourced to her friends; there is no comment in the Post's report from Reuben himself or his representatives.

Those same friends stress that, whatever the private tensions, the legal end of the marriage did not descend into open warfare. They say the divorce was ultimately 'settled amicably,' though no court filings or formal terms are detailed in the report.

New Life In Florida For Alina Habba

In case you missed it, Habba's shift to Florida followed her resignation as acting US attorney for New Jersey in December, a role she had held while simultaneously remaining a high‑profile conservative commentator and ally of Trump. Multiple friends told the Post she 'high‑tailed it' to the state shortly after stepping down, joining a wider cohort of Trump‑aligned figures who have gravitated to Florida over recent years.

One friend said Habba is already 'super happy in Florida so far and looking forward to situating her kids there, similar to a lot of MAGA world.' They added: 'I think it's a positive new chapter and I'm excited to see what she's going to do.' The suggestion, at least from those close to her, is that the move is about more than geography; it is being framed as a reset of both her political and personal life.

Reuben, who made his fortune through multiple companies focused on modernising parking management, was Habba's second husband, according to the report. Before him, she was married to attorney Matthew Eyet, with whom she shares two children. Friends quoted by the Post repeatedly emphasised her role as a mother, indicating that part of the motivation behind the Florida move is to 'situate' the children there as she begins this new phase.

None of the friends cited in the article suggests there was any single precipitating scandal behind the break‑up. Instead, the portrait is of a marriage that had quietly run its course, with Habba choosing to start again in a state more aligned with her professional world. Without direct comment from either Habba or Reuben, details beyond that are unverified and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Moreover, the Post does not state when exactly the divorce was filed or finalised, nor does it list the court in which it was processed. It simply cites 'multiple friends' who confirmed that the couple had separated, that Habba initiated proceedings after a brief period of living apart, and that the matter has now concluded.

In public, Alina Habba has so far allowed others to speak for her on this story. In private, according to those same friends, she is turning her attention back to work, motherhood and the political circles in which she now moves most comfortably. Whether Gregg Reuben eventually offers his own version of events will determine how balanced the public record of this divorce ultimately becomes.

At present, there is no confirmation that a legal dispute is underway, nor any indication that further proceedings are imminent. For now, the narrative around the split belongs almost entirely to Habba's camp, which appears intent on casting the end of her second marriage as the start of something better.
