Governor-elect Gavin Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, were joined onstage at their Election Night party by three of their four children.
They have two girls and two boys:
Montana Tessa, age 9 (born September 2009). Her first name commemorates the site of her parents’ wedding, and her second name is that of her paternal grandmother.
Hunter, age 7 (born June 2011). His middle name was not included in his public birth announcement. As for the first name, his mother has said only that it is her favorite for a boy.
Brooklynn Stacia, age 5 (born July 2013). The name combines those of two of her mother’s sisters — Brooke and Stacia — and Siebel Newsom’s own middle name, Lynn.
Dutch William, age 2 (born February 2016). Dutch is for the Placer County town of Dutch Flat, where Gavin Newsom’s father had a home. William is the name of the boy’s paternal grandfather.
All of the children have Siebel as a second middle name.
Gavin Newsom is 51, and his wife is 44. They were married in 2008. It was his second marriage, her first.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s children were a few years older — ages 6 to 13 — when he first won office in 2003, as were Earl Warren’s, who were 7 to 12 when he was sworn in.
