Bert and Patti Newton’s troubled son Matthew is secretly engaged to the 23-year-old daughter of New York’s chief lawmaker – a tireless campaigner against domestic violence.
New Idea can exclusively reveal that 39-year-old Matthew – who has a well-documented history of drug abuse and violence against women – popped the question to girlfriend Catherine Schneiderman last month, giving her a large diamond ring.
