BATON ROUGE — U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow announced on X Friday that she is engaged to be married.

Letlow, 44, posted a photo of her with former LSU baseball player Kevin Ainsworth, who is a partner at the Jones Walker firm in Baton Rouge. Her office said the proposal was made at the White House before a party that included several members of Congress.

What a blessing it will be to spend the rest of my life with Kevin Ainsworth.

Letlow's first husband Luke Letlow was elected to Congress in 2020 but died from COVID-19 before taking office. Julia Letlow won a special election in March 2021 and has been re-elected twice since. After redistricting, her north Louisiana district now extends well into Baton Rouge.

Ainsworth earned a bachelor's degree in business management from LSU in 1996 and his law degree from LSU four years later. He was on the LSU baseball team from 1993-95.

A wedding date wasn't immediately announced.
