Stephen Miller and his wife are putting forward a united front amid the couple’s Elon Musk drama.
A photo posted to Katie Miller’s X—the social media site Musk owns—features the Millers and their three children enjoying a day at the beach. It shows Miller frolicking in the water and sun while her husband, who is tagged in the photo, can be made out in the distant background.
Three kids later and I’m in the best shape of my life.

If you needed a reason to have kids here it is: they make you better, stronger and life richer.

“Three kids later and I’m in the best shape of my life. If you needed a reason to have kids here it is: they make you better, stronger and life richer,” she wrote. “Being a mom is the best job in the world. Cheers to a weekend in the summer sun.”
The beach day pic follows drama that erupted when Miller left the White House to work for Musk after the former chief of the Department of Government Efficiency left his post in late May.

The situation drew even more attention after Musk’s mud-slinging break-up with President Donald Trump in June. Stephen Miller was among the president’s allies who rebuked Musk.

However, there is reason to think that the relationship between Musk and Katie Miller might not be as strong as it once was. On Friday, Musk unfollowed her on X, raising questions about whether she is still working for him.
Earlier this month, the couple posted a Fourth of July photo of themselves together, pushing back on rumors that Musk had caused a rift between the two.
