Ghislaine Maxwell and now-estranged husband Scott Borgerson are pictured together in a never-before-seen photo taken at a 2017 nursing home Christmas party.
DailyMail.com obtained the photo that shows the couple during happier times, Borgerson's arm lovingly around his wife, standing with group of nursing home residents in Massachusetts as they are being serenaded presumably with Christmas carols by a group of children.
The picture was taken just around their one-year anniversary and is only the second known photo of them together. Borgerson married Maxwell on Christmas Day 2016 - her 55th birthday.
On Monday, Maxwell will be sentenced for her sex trafficking conviction, and her lawyers have urged the court that she serve only four years and three months and not the 50-year maximum.
In their arguments, her lawyers revealed that her life has been ruined, not in small part by the end of her relationship with Borgerson, that, they reveal, began in 2013.
The photo is a world away from Maxwell's old life with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s. In their place at the nursing home were Cub Scouts wearing Santa hats and nursing home residents in wheelchairs.
At the time Maxwell was living under the radar with Borgerson at their home in Manchester-by-the-sea as she dealt with a growing number of lawsuits against her.
This comes as her lawyers have revealed new details of Maxwell's relationship with Borgerson, including how she went into hiding to protect him and his kids, how her arrest ruined their marriage and how he dumped her in a heated phone call while she was in solitary confinement.

I listened to her as she spoke of her wish to find the security and happiness within a family unit, she was visibly upset that this, the simplest of things for so many others had still not been a part of her own life.
