Hillary, Huma and Amal walk into a bar: Newest female Dem power trio spotted at NYC hotspot
They're the ladies on the left who lunch. The newest female Democratic power trio was recently spotted at the swanky Midtown restaurant The Polo Bar. Huma Abedin, the ex-wife of disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner, broke bread with Hillary Clinton and George Clooney's wife, Amal, at the celebrity hotspot last week, a source told Paula Froelich of NewsNation. 'There were secret security and bodyguards everywhere,' the source said. 'They were just huddled together at a table talking.' Abedin is tying the knot with philanthropist George Soros' son Alex, who controls his dad's $25 billion dollar Open Society Foundations, one of the world's largest private philanthropic funds that donates to liberal political causes. The 48-year-old — who started her political career as an intern for Clinton in 1996, then became her deputy chief of staff and vice chair of her 2016 presidential campaign — now runs the Democratic Party inside circle, Froelich's sources said. Clooney, an international lawyer, and her hubby — who famously penned the 2024 New York Times essay 'I Love Joe Biden, But We Need A New Nominee' — are liberal icons and run the Clooney Foundation for Justice together. Abedin, Clinton and Clooney are now considered 'the female triumvirate of the Democratic Party,' Froelich said, adding that Adedin's wedding to Soros will take on June 14 in the Hamptons and may include the Dems talking about plans to revive the party. 'If these people are picking the new party head, we are in trouble,' an insider told her.

Inside Alex Soros and Huma Abedin's summer wedding plans
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.

A New Probiotic Could Help Pregnant Women Safely Eat Fish. Plus: Should You Actually Wake Up At 4am?
This is this week's ForbesWomen newsletter, which every Thursday brings news about the world's top female entrepreneurs, leaders and investors straight to your inbox. Click here to get on the newsletter list! With Mother's Day fast approaching, motherhood is at the forefront of our brains here at ForbesWomen. We recognize this holiday can provoke a range of emotions for people, depending on your life circumstances; for some, it is celebratory, while for others, the day can feel complicated, melancholy, and even frustrating. For those who might be grieving the loss of a mother, mother-like figure, or child, I'd like to share this article about navigating grief. ForbesWomen contributor Cheryl Robinson spoke to sources about what people can do to honor the memories of those we've lost—and also how we can support those in our lives who might be grieving right now. For those who are not yet mothers, ambivalent about motherhood or otherwise curious about the healthcare technology enabling parenthood later in life, I'll refer you to today's Morning Joe segment on the growth of egg freezing in the U.S. As Mika Brzezinski, Huma Abedin and I discussed in the segment, more women than ever before are freezing their eggs, but access to this technology remains a challenge, and it's also important that every person educate herself about what 'fertility preservation' means as it relates to her own body and potential outcomes. And finally, for those who might be marking the day as a single mother, you are not alone! Roughly 21% of all moms are solo parents. This article from ForbesWomen contributor Michelle Stansbury has good advice on how you can celebrate yourself—or, conversely, skip the celebration entirely, which is entirely okay! Take care of yourselves, Maggie P.S.: Don't forget that nominations for the 2025 U.S. 50 Over 50 list are open! Head to this link here to tell us about a woman you think should be on this year's list. Full nominations criteria are on that page but the two most important bits to remember: We're looking for people who were born in 1974 or earlier, and we're looking for women who have never been on the list before, because we don't allow repeats! NEW YORK - CIRCA 1930: Blues singer and pianist Gladys Bentley poses for a portrait circa 1930 in ... More New York City, New York. (Photo by Michael) This week marked the annual Met Gala, a star-studded and fashion-forward fundraiser that draws the attention of millions (and attendance of some of the world's most famous people). This year's Gala theme was 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' which paid homage to the art of fine tailoring and the enduring style of Black men—from the 18th century through the Harlem Renaissance of the Roaring Twenties to present day. While the Met Gala primarily highlighted this tradition through a lens of masculinity, it's important to recognize the often-overlooked contributions of women, particularly masculine-presenting lesbians, who were also pioneers of this style.

Brown has been a transformative leader at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), shaping the future of fashion education and the industry itself.

A newly-engineered probiotic can help reduce levels of mercury and make it safer for pregnant women and children to eat fish, according to new research from UCLA and UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It's been nearly three years since the Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson ruling overturned Roe v. Wade and upended abortion access in the U.S., and new research from the Institute for Women's Policy Research finds that Americans wish companies were doing more on behalf of women's healthcare access. In fact, more than half of employed adults wish corporate America would do more to speak up for reproductive healthcare access. When Stephanie Liu set out to build Nourish with cofounders Sam Perkins and Aidan Dewar, the business model was clear: Hire licensed dietitians, connect them with patients through a virtual platform, and bill insurance companies directly. Customers and investors agree: Since launching in 2021, Liu says Nourish has helped hundreds of thousands of patients across all 50 states and built a network of more than 3,000 dietitians. Last week, the company announced it raised $70 million in a Series B funding round, bringing its total funding to $115 million. It may be 2025, but old-fashioned views about who should be the higher earner in a male-female marriage are still firmly entrenched. New research reveals that romantic relationships often suffer when women outearn their male partners. Even outsiders view these partnerships as less stable, less satisfying, and more likely to end in divorce. 1. Make it easier for your employees to 'fess up to AI shortcuts. Recent research shows that nearly one-third of employees using AI tools at work keep it a secret from their employers. This occurs for a variety of reasons, but could ultimately result in a security risk for your company—so here's what you need to know about fostering a culture of transparency around AI tools. 2. Build a personal brand that boosts your small business. Whether you're running a boutique fitness studio, a digital marketing agency, or a family-run bakery, customers want a human connection. They want to know your "why." Sharing your journey, how you got started, the values that drive you and the lessons you've learned not only builds authenticity but creates a relationship. 3. Consider whether you should *actually* wake up at 4am. We hear a lot about hard-charging founders and CEOs who get up well before the sun. But do those pre-sunrise alarms lead to peak productivity? Here's what you need to consider as you set your morning alarm.

Huma Abedin and fiancé Alex Soros put on united front at Met Gala after backlash over 'awkward' photoshoot
Huma Abedin and her billionaire husband-to-be Alex Soros put on a united front as they walked the Met Gala 2025 red carpet after going viral for their very awkward photoshoot that was just published hours before. The couple were among the celebrities in attendance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday evening, after they were mocked for appearing in a 'tone-deaf' magazine feature from The New Yorker. Appearing at the star-studded event, Huma, 49, oozed glamor in a cream ruched corset with a black trailing black skirt. She accessorized her ensemble with huge statement diamond earrings and a bold red lip. Her partner, 39, wore a black suit and matched Huma's corset top by wearing a bow tie in the same color fabric. Showing their unbreakable bond, Alex wrapped his arm around Huma's waist as they posed for photographers. Their show of solidarity comes after they were ridiculed online earlier in the day, after they appeared in the article named 'Power Houses Inside the living rooms of notable New Yorkers' alongside the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Emily Ratajkowski. In the piece, the couple showed off their ritzy high-rise apartment in NoHo with Alex positioned on the sofa as the political staffer stood beside him, holding his hand. They were both dressed in a similar shade of green. Neither party was smiling. The image went viral on social media shortly after, with users poking fun at Alex and his recent focus on fighting oligarchy and Trump while inside a plush pad with expansive views across the city. They also hit out at the couple for appearing miserable. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one noted: 'Could they be farther apart?' 'Here's a prime example where money doesn't bring happiness,' another said. A third added: 'Don't they look joyful.' 'Gosh how happy do they look,' wrote another. A fifth said: 'Have you ever seen a more dismal pair? What is it, with these people, that they think this is appealing? Does this inspire you?' Huma and Alex got engaged in June 2024 but kept it a secret until weeks later. It wasn't until early July, after reports emerged that said they were getting married, that the couple confirmed they were indeed gearing up to walk down the aisle together. 'This happened… we couldn't be happier, more grateful, or more in love,' Alex wrote on his Instagram Stories at the time, alongside a snap from the moment he got down on one knee. Huma was previously married to disgraced New York politician Anthony Weiner. She and Alex, who has been named as the heir to his father's $25 billion empire, first revealed that they were dating on Valentine's Day, when they shared a PDA-filled snap from Paris. They reportedly met through a mutual friend and have been traveling together over the summer. They then made their red carpet debut when they attended the Met Gala together in May 2024. Alex is the son of Hungarian-American businessman George Soros. The 94-year-old billionaire is known for his philanthropy, with George having donated more than $32 billion to his organization Open Society Foundations, which gives grants to groups and individuals that promote democratic principles and human rights. In addition to son Alex, George, who has been married three times, also has children Andrea, Gregory, Robert, and Jonathan.
