New York: As former Trump adviser Alina Habba prepares to marry Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon, attention has turned to Mildon's previous marriage to Betul Gursoy, a member of another prominent Turkish business family.
Mildon and Habba are reportedly set to marry on September 26, 2026, with recent reports saying the ceremony will take place in New York. The relationship has attracted attention because of Habba's political profile and Mildon's background as a member of the family behind Miller Holding.
Who is Betul Gursoy?
Betul Gursoy is the daughter of the late Abdurrahman Gursoy, who was associated with the Turkish Gursoy business group.
Turkish media reports describe Gursoy as a member of the family involved in construction and restoration businesses. The family's business interests have also been linked to major construction and restoration projects in Turkey.
There is limited verified public information about Gursoy's personal life, including her exact age, date of birth and professional activities. Turkish reports specifically note that her age and birthplace are not publicly established through reliable sources.
Betul Gursoy and Turhan Mildon's marriage
Gursoy was previously married to Turhan Mildon, the 29-year-old businessman who is now preparing to marry Habba.
According to Turkish media reports, Gursoy and Mildon married in 2021 and remained together for roughly three years. Their divorce was finalised in late 2024. Reports also say that Gursoy initiated the divorce proceedings and that the marriage ended in a single court hearing.
The former couple did not have children together, according to multiple reports.
What is known about Gursoy's family?
Gursoy comes from a family with established business interests in Turkey.
Her father, Abdurrahman Gursoy, was associated with Gursoy Holding. Turkish media have connected the family to construction and restoration projects, including work associated with Istanbul's Camlica Mosque.
The family's business background is one reason Gursoy's name has resurfaced in reports about Mildon's personal history.
However, beyond her family background and marriage to Mildon, detailed information about Gursoy's current professional activities is not widely available in reliable public sources.
Why is Betul Gursoy in the news now?
Gursoy's name has resurfaced because Turhan Mildon is preparing to marry Alina Habba.
Habba, 42, is a former personal lawyer and adviser to US President Donald Trump and previously served as acting US attorney for New Jersey. Her upcoming marriage to Mildon has generated international media attention.
Mildon has confirmed the relationship and upcoming marriage while saying that the union has “no political purpose.” He has also said that he prefers to keep his personal life private.
Who is Turhan Mildon?
Mildon is the CEO of Miller Holding and a third-generation member of the Turkish business family behind the company.
His business interests extend beyond Turkey. Reports have highlighted construction and mining activities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as business ventures in Venezuela. Mildon has also discussed his relationship with Turkish political and diplomatic circles.
Mildon has generally maintained a relatively low public profile despite his family's business background.
Turhan Mildon's upcoming marriage to Alina Habba
Mildon's reported marriage to Habba will be his next marriage following his divorce from Gursoy.
Habba was previously married to attorney Matthew Eyet, with whom she has two children, and later to businessman Gregg Reuben. Her second marriage ended in 2026.
Reports say Habba and Mildon met through a mutual diplomatic contact and began their relationship earlier in 2026. Mildon has confirmed that the marriage is taking place but has stressed that it is a personal relationship rather than a political arrangement.
What remains unknown about Betul Gursoy?
Despite the renewed interest in her name, relatively little is publicly documented about Gursoy's life after her divorce from Mildon.
Reliable reports do not provide a detailed account of her current career, residence, personal relationships or exact age. For that reason, claims circulating online beyond her documented family and marriage history should be treated cautiously.
Her connection to Mildon is primarily relevant to the current news because she was his former wife before his reported upcoming marriage to Habba.
