Family life
In 2020, Rep. Gaetz stated that he raised Nestor Galban as a "son," though he later clarified that Nestor is neither his adoptive son nor his legal foster child, and that it's more of an informal relationship. Nestor is the younger brother of a woman Gaetz previously dated. After living with Gaetz for a few years, Nestor returned to living with his biological father. They remain involved in each other's life, and Gaetz says that "Our relationship as a family is defined by our love for each other, not by any paperwork."
