Chris Christie and Mary Pat Christie – Together Since 1986

Chris and Mary Pat Christie’s journey together began as University of Delaware graduates, marrying in 1986 and starting their life in a modest studio apartment in Summit, New Jersey. They have four children: Andrew, Sarah, Patrick, and Bridget. Residing in Mendham Township, they prioritized stability and continuity, with Mary Pat’s successful career as a bond trader supporting Chris’s political ambitions.

Chris, often lightheartedly, acknowledged her financial contributions, joking about their joint checking account being a shared resource. Mary Pat’s influence extended beyond finance—she insisted the family not move to the New Jersey Governor’s Mansion to keep their children in their schools, prioritizing their children’s education and consistency in their upbringing.
