Alex Soros, the son of billionaire George Soros, will soon wed his fiancée Huma Abedin as insiders have revealed details about their special day.
The couple, who met in the fall of 2023, are set to tie the knot on June 14 in the Hamptons, an insider told Page Six.
Some of their guests will be flown in by helicopter from Manhattan, New York to the lavish $14.5 million Soros family estate in Southampton, sources told the outlet.
Their guest list is filled with many prominent political figures, including the Clinton family, as Abedin served as Hillary's former aide.
Along with Hillary, Bill, Chelsea and her husband Marc Mezvinsky, Anna Wintour is also supposed to attend the nuptials, the insider dished.
Abedin and Soros' wedding will also be covered in Vogue, they added.
The Democratic insider, 48, and the younger Soros, 39, who chairs the board of his father's Open Society Foundations, got engaged in the summer of 2024.
Shortly after their big day, they were spotted celebrating their love in Italy, Page Six previously reported.
The couple confirmed their engagement on Instagram shortly after the outlet published their story, with Soros writing: 'this happened…we couldn't be happier, more grateful, or more in love.'
Abedin was previously married to disgraced New York politician Anthony Weiner. They share a son named Jordan who had his bar mitzvah last week, insiders said.
Weiner will not be attending his ex-wife's upcoming wedding, but he said he's 'thrilled' for the new couple, per sources.
It will be the first marriage for Soros, who has been named as the heir to his father's $25 billion empire.
Those close to the scion have long wondered if Soros would settle down and wave goodbye to his bachelor life, as he himself even claimed he 'had been mistaking lust for love' for many years before meeting his bride-to-be.
'I hadn't been in a relationship for a very long time — ten 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,' Soros told New York Magazine in April.
A close friend of theirs told the outlet they 'compliment' each other well.
'Her [Abedin] superpower is making every room she is in kind of run better, smoothing out the rough edges, remembering something about everybody. And that complements Alex,' they revealed.
Abedin has described her relationship with her husband-to-be 'a bit of a surreal experience.'
'It's a little bit of a surreal experience to be in a relationship with Alex. I had never imagined I would meet someone whose life so seamlessly blended with mine,' she gushed.
'To have this kind of peripatetic life in politics and public service, this constant state of preparing for the next election, preparing for the next campaign, preparing for the next conference — I don't have to explain anything to him and vice versa.
'It's not unusual for me to turn around at 4 a.m. and Alex is not there: He's on a call, dealing with some crisis,' she said, adding that it provides 'a certain kind of stability and comfort' in their relationship.
The romance between the pair comes seven years after Huma divorced her former husband Weiner - who was engulfed in a number of high-profile scandals.
Weiner was caught on multiple occasions sending explicit snaps to various women - even during his political campaigns.
But he failed to learn from his missteps and was later sentenced to 21 months in prison after he began sexting a 15-year-old girl.
Abedin, who had initially stood by him, eventually decided to pull the plug and the pair went their separate ways.
She wrote about the harrowing experience in a 2021 memoir titled Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds.
In it she revealed that she didn't lose her virginity until she was with Weiner at 32-years-old.
'I had my heart broken, dragged out, stomped on, humiliated. I lived with shame, in shame, for so long,' she told The Cut in a 2021 interview before the release of her memoir. 'In hindsight, I was in extreme trauma.'
She was previously rumored to be dating Bradley Cooper for a short spell in 2022 - reportedly arriving at the Met Gala that year with The Hangover star before parting ways to keep their cover.
The Soros heir, on his part, was known as a rich kid who threw lavish parties before shedding his playboy image.
His ascent to the head of George's Open Society Foundations (OSF) was seen as something of a shock decision, particularly as it saw him usurp his older brother Jonathan in a corporate battle.
Details of their highly anticipated wedding come just days after Soros shared a post expressing sympathies for the young Israeli diplomat couple who were shot dead by a pro-Palestinian activist Wednesday night in Washington D.C.
Soros angered many when he posted his thoughts on the killing of Yaron Lischinsky, an Israeli citizen, and Sarah Milgrim, an American, who were a young couple about to be engaged.
They were shot dead while leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum by Elias Rodriguez, 31, who according to police yelled, 'Free, free Palestine' after he was arrested.
Soros wrote Thursday: 'The murder of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky at the Capital Jewish Museum was evil in its most basic form. This brutal antisemitic act must be condemned in the strongest terms.'
Many online expressed their fury at what appeared to be hypocrisy from one of the left's leading benefactors.
'Alex Soros unclear how funding rabid Jew-hating organizations and individuals could lead to the killing of Jews,' wrote Joanne Mason.
Another X user wrote: 'You and your father fund the mayhem in America and elsewhere. SO, perhaps you should sit this one out.'
'Bro do you own a mirror,' added another.
Soros' Open Society Foundation is alleged to give money to causes and groups sympathetic to Palestine and leftist organizations that hate the existence of Israel, according to Fox News.
