Prayers Pour In For Dana Perino After She Shares Heartbreaking News

Despite a 12-year age difference, Dana said her father approved of the relationship from the beginning.

She later told People magazine that Leo believed an older man was a good match for her because she had always matured quickly and pursued her goals with determination.

McMahon, an international businessman, has remained a steady presence throughout Dana’s career.

Perino has often referred to him as “the wizard behind the curtain,” crediting him with helping her research foreign policy topics and providing support behind the scenes.

The Perino family also includes Dana’s sister, Angie Machock.
