DeSantis reveals he used ‘balls’ – golf balls – to meet wife Casey

0 23

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis revealed that he had ‘balls’ – golf balls – to thank for his meet-cute with wife Casey. 

In his recent sit-down with Piers Morgan, the Florida governor talked about how he met Casey, a local TV reporter at the time, on a golf course in 2006. 

He believed that the brunette beauty was looking over at him, whereas when she tells the story, he explained to Morgan, she says she was eyeing his bucket of practice golf balls. 

‘I used the balls as a way to start talking to her,’ the Florida governor told Morgan. ‘So, we started talking, we divvied up the balls and we hit ’em. And then we went out after that and the rest is history, but I think, in fact, she was looking at the balls. I do think I was wrong!’

DeSantis and Florida’s first lady have been married since September 2009, with Insider reporting in November that they got hitched at Walt Disney World. Ironically, DeSantis has been warring with Disney over the company’s opposition to the GOP-approved ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill. 

‘So, you have a bunch of golf balls to thank for true love?’ Morgan mused. 

‘I do!’ the governor answered. ‘And who would have thought that we both would have been there at the same time randomly on some random day in 2006. I’m just fresh into the Navy and she’s a local TV reporter at the time, and we just happened to hit it off.’ 

The Florida governor told Morgan that he realized early into his relationship with Casey that she was the one. 

‘I would say pretty early, I was like ‘This is different’ and I made sure to court her,’ DeSantis explained. ‘Of course, I got mobilized to Iraq, so we stayed together through all that, but I told myself as soon as I get back from Iraq, I’m popping the question and so we ended up doing that.’ 

DeSantis said he took Casey to a ‘nice little resort in Florida.’ 

‘And we were out on the balcony, and I had a nice ring, and I dropped to the knee and asked her,’ he revealed. 

Morgan needled him: ‘So you took the knee? Guv?’

‘Yeah, yeah. That’s the only time I take a knee, is for that,’ DeSantis answered, alluding to the GOP pushback against athletes who took a knee during the national anthem to protest racial inequality. 

DeSantis said his soon-to-be fiancée wasn’t necessarily surprised by the proposal.

‘She’d let it be known that she was happy and that we were ready to go to the next level, so, I don’t think it was a super shock, but it was good to get that one in the win column, and I don’t think I could have done any better in life,’ he said. ‘Not just to have a friend, we have three wonderful kids, she’s a great mother, she’s a great first lady.’

DeSantis also described how his wife has only gotten more beautiful with age. 

‘She’s really the whole package and there’s a picture that I have from the 2019 inauguration and then in 2023 sitting at the desk, same pose, she’s prettier in 2023 than she was in 2019, and she had a kid, she went through four years of this nonsense, and she beat breast cancer.’

‘How do you end up being prettier after four years of that?’ he asked. ‘She finds a way to do it.’

Casey DeSantis was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2021. 

The governor recalled how his wife had initially been told by a doctor she had nothing to worry about, but still felt like something was wrong so pushed for a mammogram. 

When it came back positive for breast cancer ‘that was really, really difficult,’ the Republican recalled. ‘It totally changes your life, changes your family’s trajectory.’

‘So, I think that was one of the most difficult moments. And then I would say the chemotherapy. It just saps you. It’s putting like poison in your body and to see someone that you love go through that, it was really tough on her, but it’s also just, you hate to see it. It’s like ‘What can I do, I can’t make it all of a sudden get better,” he noted.  ‘That’s why I was there, just being a helping hand, I went to all of the chemotherapies with her, and I got attacked by the left for not being in the office one day, but I was at the cancer center with her when they were saying that I wasn’t doing my job.’

He said that while he feared the worst, he also was confident she would recover. 

‘You always have that fear but I’m a data guy and went and looked it up and I said, ‘You’re gonna beat it’ and she didn’t necessarily want to hear that because she was so scared just like anyone would be, but I’m like, ‘I looked at the data, I’m looking at the treatments, you’re gonna be OK.’ So, I really felt confident and the doctors had a plan, I talked to doctors all around the country and they all said to do the things that we ended up doing,’ DeSantis recalled. ‘I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I absolutely thought she was gonna beat it.’ 

Casey was deemed cancer-free last March. 

Unliked President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, who are teetotaler, Florida’s first couple celebrated with their beer of choice.

‘We had a big hug, I was emotional, and we celebrated a bit afterwards with Guinness! We both really like Guinness,’ he said.
