Carole Crist (née Oumano, formerly Rome; born October 20, 1969) is an American businesswoman. She is the ex-wife of U.S. Representative and former Florida Governor Charlie Crist. She served as First Lady of Florida from December 12, 2008, to January 4, 2011.
Crist grew up in Roslyn, New York. She is the daughter of Robert Oumano, who was president of the Franco-American Novelty Company, a family-owned company in the novelties business. Crist graduated Magna Cum Laude from Georgetown University with a degree in accounting.
She currently resides in Florida. Carole Crist has two children from her first marriage who reside with their father.
She married Charlie Crist on December 12, 2008 at St. Petersburg's First United Methodist Church.
After nine years of marriage, in February 2017, Crist filed for divorce from Carole Rome stating, "I think the world of Carole. She's an amazing person. It just didn't work out for us, I wish all the best for her."
After her father's death in 2000, Crist ran Franco-American Novelty for the next six years. She coined the slogan "Where Fashion Meets Halloween" and changed the focus of the company to more figure-flattering, high-fashion costumes. In 2006, she handed over control of Franco-American to her sister, Michele Oumano Powell, and in January, 2013 resigned from management of Franco American Novelty Co. llc. In 2012, Crist started a new Halloween Costume business in St. Petersburg, Florida called Goddessey, L.L.C.
