Meet Apoorva Ramaswamy: Surgeon, Professor & Vivek Ramaswamy’s Lady Luck – wna24

Ohio: As biotech entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy announces his bid for Ohio governor, public interest in his personal life has surged, particularly regarding his wife, Apoorva Ramaswamy. Vivek recently took to social media to praise her, calling her an “amazing wife, caring mother, and boss surgeon” while introducing her as “Ohio’s next First Lady.”

Their journey together began during Apoorva’s first week of medical school, where she met Vivek, then a law student. Recalling their first conversation at a campaign event in 2023, she humorously admitted she had mistakenly mentioned meeting another Vivek in med school, leading her future husband to walk away disinterested. 

However, fate had different plans. Later that evening, they crossed paths again and quickly bonded over shared values and even the coincidence of being neighbours. “We realised how much we have in common, how much we shared, and the fact that we were neighbours. and here we are, we’ve been together ever since”, said Apoorva. 

Vivek, standing beside Apoorva during the conversation, emphasised the importance of marriage—a lesson he inherited from his parents. “Who you marry matters,” he stated, noting that this is a value he and Apoorva strive to instil in their two sons.  

In an interview with Erick Erickson, Vivek Ramaswamy highlighted Apoorva’s influence on his life, describing her as a guiding force. The couple has been married for eight years and shares two children, Karthik and Arjun.
