Danielle Smith Faq: Husband, Children, Stepfamily, and Net Worth Explained
By James H. Sterling
Smith's husband, David Moretta, brings a lengthy background in Canadian media production. Before shifting gears into local hospitality and real estate, Moretta worked as an executive producer at Sun News Network and spent years inside newsroom production environments, including roles at Global Television. The pair met through media circles and married in 2006.
In the mid-2010s, following Smith’s initial departure from provincial politics after the 2014 Wildrose-PC floor crossing, the couple anchored their lives in High River, Alberta. They purchased a historic 1940s rail dining car, renovating it into a local business known as The Dining Car at High River Station. Operating the business gave the couple a distinct Main Street profile across the Calgary commuter shed, turning their household into a fixture of local High River community commerce before Smith staged her political comeback in 2022.
