In public, Richard Blumenthal is often seen as Connecticut's aggressive attorney general rather than a husband and father of four.

By his side for the past 26 years is his wife, Cynthia Blumenthal, a Harvard graduate.She recently sat down with NBC 30 and still beams when she describes the moment when she first met her future husband.

She was 16, he was 31.

“He was striking, even to someone who was 16,” she said. She turned to her friend and said, ‘Anyone who is that good looking has to be terribly conceited!’ Cynthia Blumenthal said.

That could not have been more untrue, she said.

“He said, ‘Where do you go to college?’ I said, ‘Actually, I'm going to be a junior at Greenwich High School and he said, ‘It's been really nice talking to you, and that was that!’” Cynthia Blumenthal said.

They met again, years later when Cynthia Blumenthal was 21.After getting married, Cynthia Blumenthal did some photography and considered going to law school, but she was aware of her husband's determination to serve in public office.
