Married Twice; Wedding With Husband!
Tulsi's love life encloses the married relationship for twice. Her current husband Abraham Williams is a Cinematographer with whom she met in 2012, while he worked on her campaign shoots. After their first encounter, Abraham waited for a year and asked her out for a date in 2013 while attending a friend's birthday party.
Abraham later had a marriage proposal for his ladylove on the South Shore while they went out for a surf, and according to Tulsi's interview with Times, she reminisced the moment and said:
By the time we got there and were paddling out, the sun was just about to dip under the horizon. He paddled quickly out to the lineup, way ahead of me, and waited as I slowly made my way out. Then he paddled over, pulled out a double-tethered contraption attached to a gold duct-tape-covered flotation device, with a beautiful ring attached, and said, ‘I have a question for you: Will you marry me?
The Hindu couple had their wedding on 9 April 2015 on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. At their ceremony, a Hindu priest recited the Vedic Chant, and although much of the reception was in Sanskrit, Tulsi and her husband Abraham exchanged the vows that they wrote in their native language, English.
Both Tulsi and Abraham donned a Hindu dress where the U.S. politician chose a Lacha-style wardrobe and her better-half enrobed Jacquard Asymmetric Sherwani. Nearly 300 guests enjoyed the wedding ceremony and dined on an Indian-style meal.

Since then, the couple has been savoring their relationship, and her husband Abraham has remained supportive of Tulsi's political career; she is contending for president in 2020. As of now, Tulsi and her spouse yet have no plan to increase family with future children.
Before Abraham, Tulsi got married to childhood sweetheart Eduardo Tamayo in a small wedding ceremony in 2002. Her marital ties with her first husband were short-lived as they divorced after four years on 5 June 2006.
