Omarosa Manigault is a name that should be familiar; she was once arguably the biggest villain on The Apprentice; and to Republicans and fans of Donald Trump, she was also the villain after she was fired from the White House in 2018. What many don’t know about her is that she is married to John Allen Newman, an American Pastor.
Attention is par for the course when it comes to being a public figure and since Omarosa concretely became one through her controversial exit from the White House, there has been increased attention in her life, especially her personal life. Omarosa has been married to John Allen Newman since April 8, 2018. Learn more of Omarosa’s husband below.
Who is John Allen Newman and How Old is He?
One fact that might come as a surprise is that Omarosa is an ordained minister. She has been ordained since 2012 and she is equally married to one. As previously mentioned, her husband, John Allen Newman is a pastor. Currently, he is the Senior Pastor of The Sanctuary at Mt. Calvary in Jacksonville, Florida.
John Allen was born on the 5th of April, 1955. Not much is known about his background prior to meeting his wife and becoming a part of the media’s tendency to pry into the lives of public figures.

Since then, he has led the growth of the church to over 60 churches across the world, particularly in Kenya and Uganda.
Being married to a political figure and one who is overtly Republican, John Newman’s political affiliation has been a subject of interest. Research into his life shows that unlike his wife, John Allen Newman is a registered Democrat who is also a political activist. He has been pursuing his political beliefs since college, fighting for various causes such as protection for migrant workers and other civil rights. In order to maintain their relationship, Omarosa and John Allen Newman avoid political conversations, according to the former White House staff.

He was very involved in the campaign and support for Nat Glover, who became the first African American sheriff in Florida’s history. Back in 1984, he worked with the Presidential campaign of Jesse Jackson in his local community. He further took his support of African American Presidential hopefuls to Barack Obama whom he supported and helped with his campaign during his run for President in 2008.
