Dina Matos (born November 5, 1966[1]) is a former First Lady of New Jersey. She served as first lady during the administration of her husband, Jim McGreevey. In advance of an expected lawsuit, Gov. McGreevey, with Matos at his side, revealed at an August 2004 press conference that he had had an affair with a man and was resigning from office. Matos and McGreevey separated in October 2004. A divorce was granted following a trial on August 8, 2008.
