Trina Edwards, she is the much younger wife of ex-Louisiana Governor and ex-con, Edwin Edwards, who is currently attempting at a political comeback, at age 87.

Trina first grabbed major headlines in 2011, after she appeared next to Edwards when he made his first public event following the completion of his jail sentence.

Her now hubby is mostly known for spending almost a decade in prison for political corruption. Now a days, he is running for Congress in south Louisiana in what would be his second political resurrection, the Huff Post describes.

In what many think it’s an errand’s fool, one blonde woman stands still, Trina Grimes. Let’s find out more about her.

They reportedly utilized in vitro fertilization for the pregnancy.

Last year the couple appeared in a A&E reality called The Governor’s Wife, it showcased how the couple had to deal with the rather large age gap, but also the stress of their rather unusual blended family.

Trina has proven wrong to the skeptics the gold digger headlines and she is very supportive of her husband, always appearing at events with him, taking care of him and their child, attempting to be a stepmother to his much older children and while also trying to be just her.

The question remains, would you vote for her man?
