I also would like to know what are the reasons to add new team members to the GDT. I doubt a relationship is a reason and I hope that this wasn't the matter to add her. I don't want and also don't be able to judge her abilities.
We are here a grown community and I think additions to the global staff team needs to be explained. Better would be to announce hirings to give members for many years the possibility to make an application.
