Ben Carson & Candy Carson – Married For 46 Years

Until his retirement in 2013, Ben Carson served as a neurosurgeon although, he wasn’t just another doctor. Instead, he was profoundly known for his expertise in separating conjoined twins. His recent work, however, involves politics. If you didn’t know, Carson was the 17th United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, having served during Donald Trump’s reign.

Carson, now 69, has been happily married to author and businesswoman, Lacena “Candy” Rustin for 46 years. They were college sweethearts, having met at Yale University in 1971. It’s a wonderful journey they’ve come with three children and even grandchildren today. In 2020, Carson was diagnosed with COVID-19 but has since recovered.
