Who is Judith Giuliani’s new love?
Judith and businessman Patrick Cerminara have reportedly been dating for six months after meeting at a trivia night.
Per his LinkedIn account, Cerminara has been the chief marketing officer for PSC Worldwide for just over 13 years. On his profile, PSC is described as an “independent brokerage, securing worldwide terminal storage for suppliers and producers of liquid bulk petrochemicals and biofuels”.
Cerminara is also 11 years younger than Judith and, at the time of writing, has not commented on the relationship.
What is Judith Giuliani’s background?
Judith grew up in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Before Rudy, she was married twice: to Jeffrey Ross between 1974 and 1979, and Bruce Nathan between 1979 and 1992.
Just five days after she was officially divorced from Ross, she married Nathan, moving into his home, Vanity Fair reports. Per the article, Judith went through a transformation after splitting from Nathan, even asking people to call her Judith instead of Judi, the name her parents had called her since she was a child.
Although it’s widely reported that Judith was a nurse, per Vanity Fair, she only completed two years of nursing school but left hospital work before the year was up.
Rudy proposed with a US$20,000 Ceylon sapphire and diamond ring, and the two got married at Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the mayor of New York City. Guests included Vera Wang, Donald Trump, Barbara Walters and Henry Kissinger. It was an extravagant affair, and was reportedly Judith’s idea.Who is drug lord El Chapo’s glam granddaughter, Frida Guzmán Muñoz?
She was seen as a “social climber”
Despite her lengthy marriage to Rudy, who was New York City mayor, a presidential candidate in 2008 and later, Trump’s personal lawyer, Judith was still largely seen as an opportunist.
A Vanity Fair profile described how Judith’s desire to be treated like royalty even resulted in Hillary Clinton commenting, back in the early 2000s, “The nerve of that woman, who does she think she is?” The New York Times also quoted people in Rudy’s inner circle referring to Judith as a “social climber” back in 2019.
Her bitter split from Rudy Giuliani
Judith was married to Rudy from 2003 to 2019, with their nasty split played out in public. Rudy, who was widely known for his leadership after his handling of the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001 during his term as New York City mayor, had his financial affairs open to public scrutiny.
Judith took Rudy to court, widely reported as saying, “I feel betrayed by a man I supported in every way for more than 20 years.” She claimed that he chose to work for then US President Donald Trump pro bono to reduce potential payments owed to her. It was revealed during the proceedings that he had splurged around US$12,010 on cigars and US$7,130 on fountain pens, per The New York Times.
