Zacharia, 42, is married to Hollywood producer Tyler Zacharia, and the two share four children togetherShe replaced Tricia McLaughlin in February as the on-camera face of Trump's immigration crackdown. But it was short lived, and her exit from DHS was shrouded in controversy, with reports she was pushed out over her close ties to Corey Lewandowski, Kristi Noem's DHS adviser and rumored lover. Zacharia, at the time, flatly denied that account, claiming she stepped away because constant travel between Washington and her home in California was too hard on her family.She has since been working as a communications adviser to Trump Media and Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social.Her husband Tyler served as a producer on movies like The Irishman, Countdown, The Starling, The Desperate Hour and Homestead, among others.While she often flaunts her glamorous endeavors on her Instagram, where she's racked up more than 42,000 followers, she is fiercely private when it comes to her family life and has kept her kids completely off social media.

She explained in the essay that when she visited her local cardio kickboxing gym wearing a Trump hat it 'triggered an unhinged meltdown.''One woman in the back didn’t confront me directly. Instead, she rudely interrupted the instructor mid-routine, turned the class into chaos, harassed the teacher to force me to remove my hat or face the wall so she wouldn’t have to see it, killed the entire vibe, and then stormed out like a petulant child,' she wrote.'This wasn’t over threats or actual disruption - it was over a hat symbolizing my pride in helping re-elect the greatest president in US history, Donald J. Trump.'She noted that while the instructor didn't force her to remove the hat, 'two additional liberal women wrote emails and waged online smear campaigns behind the scenes, leading to the owner of the gym to ask me not to wear my hat.''I responded that I would never take my Trump hat off to appease the left,' she continued.'This is raw, unfiltered intolerance.

She is, likewise, a devoted fan and member of MAGA,' the president wrote'The First Amendment has no "discomfort" clause. A Team Trump or MAGA hat isn’t obscenity or hate speech - it is political expression supporting our sitting president.'This isn’t about a hat. It’s about the right to speak and express yourself without fear - even in "tolerant" California. When private businesses become dissent-free zones, that’s the quiet death of freedom. 'I refuse to stay silent. My constitutional rights aren’t negotiable. Tyranny thrives when good people lack courage.'Trump confirmed the news in a Truth Social post later Friday calling the California native 'outstanding.' 'She has an unblemished record of support, and has been a loyal and brilliant supporter, right from the beginning. She is, likewise, a devoted fan and member of MAGA,' the president wrote.
