Michael Boulos’ relationship with Tiffany Trump brought him significant media attention. The two met in 2018, got engaged in early 2021, and tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Mar-a-Lago, the Trump family’s iconic estate in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2022.
While Tiffany’s life has always been somewhat public due to her family’s prominence, Michael brings a distinctive international element to their relationship. Sharing a passion for travel, the couple has been seen at family gatherings and political events. Their marriage spotlighted Michael’s background, adding a new layer of interest in his family’s story.
Michael Boulos’ background and heritage
Michael was born in Lebanon, a country at the intersection of the Mediterranean and Middle East, known for its rich cultural diversity influenced by ancient civilizations like the Phoenicians, Romans, and Ottomans. Michael’s family is part of the global Lebanese diaspora, many of whom have established themselves in the U.S. and Africa, often retaining close cultural ties to Lebanon.
The Boulos family, like many Lebanese, moved abroad seeking new opportunities and settled in Nigeria, where they built a successful business empire. Michael grew up in Nigeria, where his family’s company, Boulos Enterprises, operates and specializes in the distribution, assembly, and trade of motorcycles, bikes, and outboard motors. This business has established the Boulos family as notable figures in Nigeria’s economic landscape.
Since their wedding, Michael and Tiffany have been splitting their time between London and various locations in the U.S. Michael completed his schooling at the American International School of Lagos before moving to the U.K. for further studies. He graduated from Regent’s University London and earned a master’s degree from City University of London. As heir to the Boulos family’s business fortune, Michael was appointed associate director of SCOA Nigeria, a company involved in construction and development.
His role as associate director demonstrates his ambition to contribute to and expand his family’s business legacy, leveraging both his academic background and hands-on experience. According to BBC News Pidgin, his role at SCOA is only the start of his journey within the family empire, which holds strong roots in Nigeria. Though it’s uncertain if Tiffany or the Trump family will be visiting Nigeria soon, Michael maintains deep ties to Nigeria and a lasting pride in his heritage, despite the love-hate relationship Nigerians have with Donald Trump.
