Danielle Smith Family and Age Q&A: Bio, Stepson, Marriage, and Landmark Alberta Youth Legislation
Smith married David Moretta in 2006. Moretta, a former executive producer with Global Television and Sun Media, met Smith during her earlier career in journalism and political commentary. The couple settled in High River, Alberta, a small town south of Calgary, where they converted a former 1940s rail car into a local hospitality venue known as The Dining Car at High River Station.
Through her marriage to Moretta, Smith became a stepmother. Moretta has a son from a prior relationship. Smith’s stepson was raised outside the glare of partisan politics and had reached adulthood well before Smith launched her political comeback in 2022. Aside from occasional mentions during speeches regarding family obligations, Smith keeps her stepson's private life strictly out of the press.
