Huma Abedin and billionaire Alex Soros are engaged
Huma Abedin and Alex Soros are engaged.
Sources tell us Soros popped the question six weeks ago, and the couple were spotted recently celebrating the happy news in Italy.
“The best way I can describe the relationship is effortless,” a friend of Abedin’s for over 15 years tells Page Six.
“After a lot of tumultuous years for Huma, she’s relaxed and happy and in love,” the insider added.
Sources tell Page Six Soros proposed six weeks ago.
The Democratic political insider and the son of billionaire Democratic donor George Soros were first linked earlier this year when the duo posted a cozy pic from a Paris restaurant for Valentine’s Day.
The “Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds” author confirmed she was dating Soros with the sweet pic, and the message, “Happy Valentine’s Day.”
They subsequently attended the 2024 Met Gala together in May, where Abedin, 47, wore a green gown with butterfly appliqués designed by Erdem. Soros, 38, went with a gray tuxedo and added a gold bug pin to his bowtie to match.
He cheekily captioned an Instagram Stories shot from the gala, “A little buggy out” — referring to their matching insect accoutrements for the glam event where the theme was “The Garden of Time.”
Hillary Clinton’s former deputy chief of staff has also been seen leaving her now-fiancé’s apartment downtown in NYC.
One former senior Clinton aide had previously told Page Six of the pair, “It’s a classic Clinton World couple. Alex is the perfect match for Huma.”
Abedin has long been considered a “second daughter” to Hillary, and Alex’s dad, George Soros — who made his money in hedge funds and is worth $6.7 billion, according to Forbes — was one of the top 10 donors to Hillary’s presidential run in 2016, contributing more than $9.5 million to the campaign.
“I’m thrilled for her,” an Abedin friend previously told Page Six of her relationship with Soros. “She works so hard and she deserves happiness. I just hope she’s happy — she’s been through so much.”
We hear that the engaged couple — who met through a mutual friend who was dating one of Alex’s cousins — have been recently traveling together, and sources told us that Abedin was appearing in the Balkans for a talk.
They’d previously gone to Munich, Germany, at the same time as the Munich Security Conference, an annual gathering on international security policy that attracts world leaders.
They’ve mostly kept a low profile, but were also spotted in April sitting courtside at a Knicks playoffs game.
It’s certainly a happy ending for Abedin, who has a son with her ex, disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner. They were married from 2010 to 2017.
