The personal life of former Attorney General Pam Bondi has come under scrutiny following her firing by U.S. President Donald Trump. Her long-term relationship with private equity executive John Wakefield has been a focus of attention. Bondi has been with Wakefield since at least 2017 and has been married twice before, with both marriages ending in divorce.
Wakefield is a founding principal of Varner Wakefield Equity Partners, a private equity firm specializing in real estate investments. He has a background in banking and international business, graduating from the College of Charleston and the Thunderbird School of Global Management.
The couple has been spotted together at various events, including a concert in 2017 and a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game. They have also shared glimpses of their relationship on social media.
Bondi's past relationships have been relatively low-profile, with limited public disclosure of the reasons behind her breakups. She was married to Garret Barnes and Scott Fitzgerald, and was engaged to Greg Henderson before calling off the engagement.
