J. MICHELLE Childs - one of President Joe Biden's potential Supreme Court nominees - is married to Floyd Angus.
Childs is being considered to replace Justice Stephen Breyer, 83, on the Supreme Court.
Floyd is a gastroenterologist in Sumpter, South Carolina, with over 25 years experience in the medical field, according to Wiki.
Floyd received a medical degree from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Columbia in 1994.
He is understood to be working at Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital.
When did J. Michelle Childs and Floyd Angus marry?
The couple married in August 2000 and have been happily wed since, it's reported.
They married around the same time Governor Jim Hodges called on Michelle to become deputy director of the Division of Labor.
Do they have any children?
Michelle and Floyd have one child - Julianna, who is now a teen.
Childs, 55, is seen as a popular pick and even has the backing of some Republican senators.
She is a South Carolina district court judge and an expert in labor and employment law.
She was born in Detroit and was raised by her mother after her dad, a police officer, was killed.
Childs and her mother decided to move to South Carolina due to the rising crime in Detroit.
She was inspired to pursue a legal career after participating in a mock trial program at the University of South Florida, according to Bloomberg Law.
In late January 2022, the White House confirmed that Judge Childs was on President Biden's short list of prominent Black women to fill the latest Supreme Court vacancy.
She was also nominated by the Biden administration to serve on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, which is seen as a stepping stone to the Supreme Court, according to Click on Detroit.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement: "Judge Childs is among multiple individuals under consideration for the Supreme Court, and we are not going to move her nomination on the Court of Appeals while the President is considering her for this vacancy."
Her nomination has been widely welcomed by both sides of the political aisle
