Alex Soros and Huma Abedin love story: A look at their relationship and wedding
Billionaire heir Alex Soros, son of financier George Soros, and longtime political aide Huma Abedin have tied the knot in what The New York Times called the 'wedding of the liberal royalty.
' Their union—steeped in tradition, shared values, and mutual respect—culminated in a glamorous yet deeply personal celebration last weekend in the Hamptons.
An unexpected meeting
The couple first met in October 2023 at a birthday party hosted by their mutual friends, James and Nicky Hilton Rothschild. According to
Vogue
, it was during this party that 'they quickly discovered their mutual interests in politics and public service.' The spark was immediate.

Alex Soros later told
New York Magazine
, 'I hadn't been in a relationship for a very long time—10 years or something like that—that had lasted for more than three months. And it's, like, the first time I realized I had been mistaking lust for love.'
As their relationship deepened, the couple found themselves bonding not only over public service and politics but over a shared desire to build a life of intention, balance, and cultural respect.

Huma, raised in Saudi Arabia by Indian and Pakistani parents, had spent decades in political service, rising from a White House intern to vice chair of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Alex, a historian with a PhD from UC Berkeley, had grown up under the towering legacy of his billionaire father but carved out his own identity through activism and philanthropy.
Abedin told New York Magazine, 'I had never imagined I would meet someone whose life so seamlessly blended with mine.'

They were first seen publicly at high-profile events like the 2024 Met Gala and a White House state dinner honoring Kenyan President William Ruto.
A heartfelt proposal
'Alex bought the ring one morning and proposed by our dining table that same evening,' Abedin told
Vogue
. 'He handed me the ring in a takeout bag saying that it was 'dessert.' It had been a long day at work, and I was distracted because I was leaving for a trip early the next morning. It was a total surprise and a beautiful one!'
A few weeks later, he proposed again—this time, formally—on a balcony in Italy overlooking the sea.
The moment was captured in a joint Instagram post shared on July 10, 2024, where Alex could be seen on one knee. The caption read: 'This happened…we couldn't be happier, more grateful, or more in love .'

When Hillary and Anna Said 'Yes'
As per reports, the duo had a bizarre plan of marrying after eloping together, however that changed at an engagement party co-hosted by Hillary Clinton and
Vogue
editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. 'We got engaged with no plans to have a wedding,' Abedin shared.
'But once we decided to have a wedding—or rather when we were instructed to have a wedding by Hillary and Anna, who pulled out their calendars and suggested the date—it was set.'
Though Soros had a conference scheduled in Europe, the couple made it work. 'It was an unexpectedly wonderful journey,' Abedin added.
A weekend of intimacy and glamour
The couple held two ceremonies. On Friday, they gathered with close family at George Soros's home in Southampton to sign both the nikah (in honor of Abedin's Muslim faith) and the ketubah (to honor Soros's Jewish heritage). For this occasion, Abedin wore a custom lace Erdem dress, later changing into an Oscar de la Renta number adorned with a purple allium flower motif for the lunch. On Saturday, a larger event unfolded at their Water Mill home.
