The Trump administration is considering Callista Gingrich, wife of Newt Gingrich, to be the US ambassador to The Vatican, according to a report Thursday.

She is among the top candidates for the coveted position, The New York Times reported.

Newt Gingrich had also been considered for the post despite his twin divorces and three marriages, but took himself out of the running.

Callista Gingrich, who calls herself a devout Catholic, told the Christian Broadcasting Network in a 2011 interview that she has “always been a very spiritual person.”

Her husband converted to Catholicism in 2009, The Hill reported.

The couple have been longtime friends of President Trump, and are members at his Virginia golf resort.

The new ambassador would replace Kenneth Hackett, who has served since August 2013.
