Two years after Alex Murdaugh was convicted of killing his wife Maggie Murdaugh and son Paul Murdaugh in South Carolina, his surviving son Buster Murdaugh married his girlfriend Brooklynn White.

Alex Murdaugh’s son is focusing on the love in his life.

Two years after the former South Carolina lawyer was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole for the 2021 murders of his wife Maggie Murdaugh and 22-year-old son Paul Murdaugh, his surviving son Buster Murdaugh, 32, and longtime girlfriend Brooklynn White, 28, applied for a marriage license in their home state, according to court records obtained by People.

The pair have not publicly shared any details on their nuptials, which aligns with the low profile they have maintained since Alex’s conviction. (The disgraced attorney is also serving a 40-year prison sentence for financial crimes stemming from a separate federal case.)

However, during the 2023 murder trial, Buster took the stand in defense of his father and months later appeared in the Fall of the House of Murdaugh documentary detailing why he believed his dad was innocent. 

“I don’t think that he could be affiliated with endangering my mother and brother,” Buster said in the 2023 Fox Nation special, adding that he believes the killer to still be at large and is “absolutely” afraid for his life.

“I think that I’ve set myself up to be safe,” he continued, “but yes, when I go to bed at night, I have a fear that there is somebody else still out there.”

Buster also explained that, while he wanted to show his “support of my father” by being in the courtroom during the trial, he also felt the experience was extremely tough. 

“It’s incredibly grueling,” he shared. “I mean every anxious, negative emotion is going through my mind at this point. I’m trying to take it in, I’m trying not to break down, trying to hold composure. It’s an absolutely excruciatingly difficult experience.”

Plus, Buster doesn’t believe that the South Carolina jury came to a “fair” conclusion.

“I was there for six weeks studying it, and I think it was a tilted table from the beginning,” he said. “I think, unfortunately, a lot of the jurors felt that way prior to when they had to deliberate. It was predetermined in their minds, prior to when they ever heard any shred of evidence that was given in that room.”
