Henderson Got Married in 2019

Henderson married her long-term partner in late 2019. On January 1, 2020, she announced her marriage on Instagram, with a photo of herself and her wife and the caption “Happy New Year #newlyweds.”

The now-married couple’s relationship was first reported by Politico Magazine on July 7, 2017, on Henderson’s birthday. In the aforementioned interview, she stated that she planned to spend her birthday with her girlfriend in the lovely city of London. She also revealed that they would be doing a lot of shopping, trying new foods, and visiting places like Buckingham Palace and the Wimbledon scene.

Furthermore, during an exclusive interview with National Public Radio (NPR) on January 11, 2019, the CNN political reporter stated that her now-wife is a hardworking doctor. However, because she chose to keep her personal life details to herself, no other information about her wife, how they met, or other details could be obtained.

The Reporter has moderated and reported on LGBTIQ+ events

Henderson is a CNN political reporter, but her interests aren’t limited to politics. Henderson covered the LGBTIQ+ community for the first time on December 17, 2008, while still working for Politico News Magazine.

She covered the then-heated news about former US President Barack Obama, who faced criticism from everyone, especially LGBTIQ+ supporters, in the news report titled ‘Gay leaders furious with Obama.’ The backlash began when former President Obama chose Rick Warren, senior pastor of Saddleback Church and a vocal opponent of same-sex marriage, to deliver the invocation at his inauguration.

The reporter took a break from covering LGBTIQ stories after covering that news event. Nonetheless, she made an appearance years later, on October 11, 2019, when she and her colleagues were tasked with moderating the CNN LGBTQ Town Hall event. During their 30-minute segment at the Los Angeles event, nine Democratic Party candidates shared their perspectives on the American LGBTQ community.
