Donald Trump's glamorous former aide turned communications executive Hope Hicks is getting married this summer, DailyMail.com can reveal
Hope Hicks, 35, and Jim Donovan, 57, are set to get hitched this summer after their secret romance was revealed in 2020
In 2020, DailyMail.com exposed the secret romance between Trump's former top aide and the Goldman Sachs boss
The pair were first spotted canoodling in D.C. in January 2020. They were seen at salad joint Sweetgreen in March of that year
Hicks has already been mentioned during testimony with ex-National Enquirer publisher David Pecker telling the jury that he knows her, having met her while she was working for Ivanka Trump and doing public relations for Star magazine.
She then went on to work for Trump as his campaign communications director and then as a White House aide before quitting to work for Fox News in Los Angeles.
The move to the west coast came after a turbulent period in Hicks' love life that included a steamy affair with Trump's first campaign manager, married father-of-four Corey Lewandowski, 50.
Hicks and Lewandowski have never publicly admitted to a relationship but are thought to have had an on-off fling during the 2016 presidential campaign.
According to author Michael Wolff, on one occasion Hicks asked to help Lewandowski after he left the Trump campaign, only for the President to respond: 'Why? You've already done enough for him. You're the best piece of tail he'll ever have.'

The relationship continued after both left the White House in spring 2018 following revelations about Porter's alleged record of domestic abuse, with the pair spotted working out together in New York.
But the romance came to an end after Hicks left DC for the West Coast to take up a lucrative job with FOX in Los Angeles.
