  "account": "Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, recently unveiled nine new tattoos on her arms while promoting her YouTube talk show \"Get Maced.\" The 48-year-old congresswoman, who has been married twice and has two children, got the tattoos between late 2023 and early 2024. Mace explained that the process provided the emotional catharsis she needed and helped her \"reclaim\" her body and identity. The tattoos came during a challenging time in her life, marked by the end of her engagement and the departure of several staffers from her congressional office. Mace has described herself as \"totally broken\" and has mentioned experiencing PTSD. She is currently single and was engaged to software entrepreneur Patrick Bryant from 2022 to late 2023, but the engagement ended before marriage. Mace has been married twice - first to Chris Niemiec in 1999 and then to software engineer Curtis Jackson in 2004, from whom she shares two children, Miles and Ellison (Elli). The congressman has largely kept details about her children private.",
