Former Hillary Clinton advisor Huma Abedin and Alex Soros, son of billionaire George Soros, are engaged.
The couple announced their engagement on Instagram on Wednesday, with Soros writing, “This happened… we couldn’t be happier, more grateful, or more in love” paired with a heart and ring emoji.
Abedin, 47, and Soros, 38, are both prominent in the political and business world.
The pair met in the fall of 2023 at a mutual friend’s birthday party, “where they quickly discovered their mutual interests in politics and public service,” according to Vogue. They have since shared photos online, including celebrating Valentine’s Day in Paris, according to the New York Post Officeand participating in a State Dinner at the White House to honor the Kenyan President and First Lady.
Soros proposed to Abedin in New York City in late May and the couple had a party in Italy, Vogue reported.
Abedin previously worked with Clinton when she served as Secretary of State in the White House.
She was previously married and shares a son with former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, who was sentenced to prison after being convicted of having sex with a minor in 2017. Abedin announced her separation from Weiner the previous year, amid the scandal.
Soros is the chairman of the Board of Directors of The Open Society Foundations, a philanthropic network founded by his father, George Soros, and which calls itself a “champion” of “democratic solutions”. The non-profit organization is known for donating to Democratic candidates and campaigns.
