Gabe Vasquez, a second-term New Mexico congressman, has tried to keep his personal life away from prying eyes in the nation’s capital.
Now the Daily Mail can reveal that what appeared to be a splashy wedding never actually resulted in a legal marriage, and that Vasquez is now engaged to another woman who has deep ties to Democratic political circles.
…
In September 2018, the pair held a lavish ceremony at the Akiin Beach Tulum Weddings venue in Mexico, where events cost between $30,000 and $90,000.
Friends and family attended and shared photos on social media under the hashtag #OnCloudVasquez – but it was not long before the pair separated.
Despite pictures of the seemingly happy couple dressed in a suit and white dress still being up online, including one of them holding up what appears to be a marriage license, no legal records of marriage or divorce between the two exist.

His current fiancée, Nikki Santos, is a divorced Biden-era political appointee who previously worked at the Center for Native American Youth, a project of the Aspen Institute.

Santos appeared on Vasquez’s 2023 FEC report, reimbursed for a rental car, and features in Federal Election Commission records linked to a $300 campaign dinner in Washington.
By Thanksgiving 2021, she had already appeared alongside Vasquez in a family Instagram post captioned ‘Time well spent with family.’
The timeline is significant. In divorce proceedings, Santos claimed she and ex-husband Joshua Pitre separated on December 22, 2021 – a date Pitre disputed, placing their separation on January 2, 2022.
