Before diving into their relationship, we need to examine their political backgrounds. Because, as is usually the case with relationships like these, politics and love are closely intertwined. They've been behind the scenes for much of their political careers, but their family connections secured them comfortable positions. Giovanna Pence, née Coia, interned for Steve King, former Representative for Iowa's 5th and 4th districts. While Kellyanne Conway's connections to this internship are not immediately apparent, she likely had some influence on her cousin's next job. 

Upon Giovanna's graduation from Catholic University, she became a press assistant for the White House during the Trump administration, while Conway was a well-known advisor to the then-president. As for her husband, John Pence, he studied law at Indiana University, following in his uncle's footsteps. Mike Pence's political career has continued to propel his nephew to high places. From the beginning of Donald Trump's presidency, John had a seat at the table, though he didn't obtain a high-profile position until becoming deputy executive director for Trump's campaign committee in 2017.
