Annalise Glick Quietly Divorced Dean Phillips in 2024

Glick, a Minneapolis musician and former gallery owner, married Dean Phillips, then a Minnesota congressman, in 2019. Their marriage ended sometime in 2024, and in the years since, several unrelated, invented biographies have circulated under her name.

In September 2019, the same month he married Annalise Glick, Minnesota congressman Dean Phillips registered a company called Annadea LLC, a name blending his first name and hers. Within two years the company had bought a Washington townhome and a historic estate in Virginia horse country, and neither purchase showed up on his official ethics filings.

Glick herself is harder to trace. She is a musician and former Minneapolis gallery owner who married Phillips, later a 2024 Democratic presidential candidate, in a private Washington ceremony. Almost nothing about their divorce, or her life since, has been reported anywhere. Search her name today and several websites will confidently describe a different woman: an environmental attorney, an environmental scientist from Oregon, an artist with a fellowship no legitimate source connects to her.



Glick grew up around the Twin Cities and left for Los Angeles at 19, where Sony Records signed her. She later lived in New York before returning to Minneapolis in 2014 to help her mother, Kathy Bryan, open a Wayzata boutique called House of 365.

Two years after that, in November 2016, she opened her own storefront: AGG Art + Home, later called Glick Gallery, at 811 Glenwood Avenue in Minneapolis. It doubled as a furniture showroom and carried prints by Louis Waldon, once a collaborator of Andy Warhol, alongside photographs by Julian Lennon.

By January 2018, a City Pages profile of Phillips, then campaigning for his first House term, put her age at 29 and noted the gallery kept limited hours, with calls to it often unanswered. It had closed by October 2023, per The US Sun. No outlet ever reported exactly when.

A wedding in Washington

She and Phillips were already together by that January 2018 profile, months before he won his first election that November. Their engagement made the Star Tribune on September 1, 2019, which described Glick as an art consultant. Two weeks later, on September 14, they married privately in Washington, a ceremony Michigan congresswoman Haley Stevens later described on the House floor and entered into the Congressional Record.

It was his second marriage. His first, to Karin Einisman, had ended in 2015. Glick became stepmother to his two daughters, though she and Phillips had none together.

What the company bought

Annadea LLC’s first purchase came in December 2019: a $1.5 million townhome in Washington. In April 2021 the company bought again, a 37-acre historic farmhouse in Middleburg, Virginia, for $2.9 million, in an area known for horses and fox hunting. Neither deal appeared on Phillips’s disclosures, unusual for a sitting member of the House Ethics Committee, The Daily Beast reported in an investigation later corroborated by Forbes.

Her own life shows up in the same window. On December 23, 2019, three months after the wedding, a Defense Department photo caption placed her at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, touring the base with other family members of Congress. Within days of the Middleburg purchase, she leased a horse and took up dressage and polo in the area, The Daily Beast found. Phillips would later launch his presidential campaign from that same property.

One night in New Hampshire

Days after Phillips entered the 2024 Democratic primary, Glick sang with a rhythm and blues band that opened his first campaign event, a town hall in Manchester, New Hampshire, on October 31, 2023. Public radio station WBUR covered it at the time. It is one of the only public performances on record since her Sony Records years, over a decade before.

What came after

Phillips suspended his campaign on March 6, 2024, and endorsed Biden. His House term, which he had already said in late 2023 he would not seek to extend, ended in January 2025.

Sometime in 2024, Glick and Phillips divorced. No news outlet appears to have reported it. The year comes only from biographical trackers, Wikipedia among them, and the nonpartisan database Vote Smart, and neither offers a date or a reason.

Phillips has stayed visible since. In January 2026, he told Minnesota Public Radio he was a “recovering politician,” weighing in on Governor Tim Walz’s decision not to seek a third term.

No interview, public statement, or news photograph of Glick appears anywhere after the divorce, as far as any record shows. Into that gap, several fabricated biographies have moved instead: an environmental attorney, a scientist, an artist. One of those pages never finished writing itself. It still contains the placeholder text “[city/state]” where an actual hometown should be, and “[specific field or interest]” where an actual interest should be. Nobody ever went back to fill it in.
