Disgraced politician Anthony Weiner’s ex-wife Huma Abedin has apparently revealed that she is dating billionaire George Soros’ son Alex, who is almost ten years her junior.
Hillary Clinton’s former aide appeared to go public with their romance on Wednesday when she shared a photo of her and Alex enjoying a Valentine’s Day date at a restaurant in Paris.
The image, which was posted to Instagram Stories by Huma, 47, and Alex, 38, shows the couple snuggled up at a corner table behind a table covered in red roses and gifts, with the billionaire playboy adding a “Happy Valentine’s Day.” ‘ message over their heads.
The couple’s romance comes seven years after Huma divorced her ex-husband Weiner, to whom she was married for seven years, during which time the couple weathered multiple high-profile scandals.
Disgraced politician Anthony Weiner’s ex-wife Huma Abedin has apparently revealed that she is dating billionaire George Soros’ son Alex, who is almost ten years her junior.
Huma is a former aide and confidant of former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who has several ties to the Soros family.
However, her new boyfriend is also no stranger to public life, nor is he a stranger to generating some controversial headlines.
For much of his life, Alex was known as a playboy heir who threw lavish parties in the Hamptons and attended many red carpet events, until last year when he was named the official heir to his $25 billion empire. father in a shocking decision that saw him usurp his older brother Jonathan in a corporate battle that many compared to the HBO series Succession.
When the announcement was made in June 2023, Alex promised that he would use his father’s fortune to fund more far-left causes, including abortion rights and gender equality, telling the Wall Street Journal that he was “more political ” than George and planned to reflect it in his businesses.
Speaking about his goals, Alex said he was concerned about the possibility of Republican Donald Trump returning to the White House, suggesting his family would contribute heavily to Democrats in the 2024 presidential election.
“As much as I would love to make money out of politics, as long as the other side does it, we have to do it too,” he said.
Those words will no doubt have been music to Huma’s ears, given that she has spent years serving as former presidential candidate Clinton’s right-hand man and was at her side when she lost the 2016 election to Trump.
Clinton’s election defeat was the latest in a series of personal blows for Huma, whose then-husband Anthony had been exposed just weeks earlier by DailyMail.com for having a months-long online relationship with a 15-year-old girl. years, with whom he sent multiple sordid sexual messages.
However, it was during Hillary’s failed 2016 campaign that Huma may have first been connected to the Soros family, when it was revealed that George was one of five mega-donors responsible for one in every $17 that had been spent on her. Campaign.
Huma’s most notable previous relationship was with disgraced politician Anthony Weiner (seen together in 2016), to whom she was married for seven years, from 2010 to 2017.
After years of earning a reputation as a playboy, Alex transformed his image in 2023 when he was named heir to his father George’s $25 billion hedge fund empire.
In fact, Huma’s name was previously linked to the Soros clan when it was revealed in 2016 that she had exchanged emails with another member of Hillary’s campaign team about a dinner the then-presidential candidate was having with George.
In the email, Huma asked Robby Mook, who would eventually run Hillary’s campaign, how he should proceed if George asked Hillary to appear at a fundraiser for America Votes, a progressive organization he strongly supported.
Robby then responded: “I would only do this for political reasons (i.e. to make Soros happy).”
In the years since Hillary’s failed campaign, Huma has continued to work closely with her, while forming other very high-profile friendships, including Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
In 2022, Anna was even rumored to have tried to put Huma in touch with her close friend, actor Bradley Cooper, with reports suggesting the duo had dated for several months after being matched by the editor-turned-matchmaker. .
However, the romance with Alex is the first time that Huma herself has shared a new update about her love life with the public, having kept much of her life a secret in the years since her divorce from Weiner.
