Personal Life
Huffington met her future husband Michael Huffington in 1985. They were married a year later, on April 12, 1986. They later established residency in Santa Barbara, California, in order for him to run in 1992 as a Republican for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, which he won by a significant margin. Arianna campaigned for her husband, courting religious conservatives, arguing for smaller government and a reduction in welfare. In 1994, he narrowly lost the race for the U.S. Senate seat to California to incumbent Dianne Feinstein. The couple divorced in 1997. They have two daughters – Christina Sophia Huffington (born May 1, 1989) and Isabella Diana Huffington (born May 15, 1991). She became a naturalized American citizen in 1990.
In 1979, Huffington (under the name Arianna Stassinopoulos) co-wrote the lyrics with Irene Papas on her album entitled Odes, with music performed (and partly composed) by Vangelis Papathanassiou.
In 2012 Huffington was photographed by world-renowned photographer Kevin Abosch for his project FACES:TECH.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
