Lindsay Mills: Relationship With Boyfriend Edward Snowden
Lindsay and her longtime boyfriend Edward started their relationship back in the year 2008.

Mills is also an active blogger, on n 30 July 2012, she had written:
For those that have forgotten, I moved to Hawaii to continue my relationship with E. It has been quite an up-and-down emotional rollercoaster since the moment I stepped off the plane. I looked over at E and smiled.This was the most adult, boring moment I've had ever. I felt grown-up, suburban, and oddly content.
Mills, however, remained silent and never spoke on the very subject of her boyfriend or his actions after the whistleblowing event in 2013. Mills was last spotted attending the 2015 Oscars and also appeared onstage for the promotion of the doc u mentary 'Citizenfour'.
