Hillary Clinton’s longtime girl-friend Huma Abedin, 47, reveals she is dating George Soros’ billionaire playboy son Alex, 38 – as pair take their romance public during Valentine’s Day date in Paris
- Longtime Clinton aide Abedin was married to Weiner for seven years – during which time he became embroiled in multiple scandals
- She and Alex both shared an image of themselves together on Instagram today
- Alex took over his father’s empire last year after a Succession-style battle
Disgraced politician Anthony Weiner‘s ex-wife Huma Abedin has seemingly revealed she is dating billionaire George Soros’ son Alex – who is almost ten years her junior.
The longtime aide to Hillary Clinton appeared to take her romance public on Wednesday when she shared a photo of herself and Alex enjoying a Valentine’s Day date at a restaurant in Paris.
In the image – which was posted on Instagram Stories by both Huma, 47, and Alex, 38 – shows the pair cuddling up in a corner booth behind a table strewn with red roses and gifts, with the billionaire playboy adding a ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ message above their heads.
The romance between the pair comes seven years after Huma divorced her former husband Weiner, whom she was married to for seven years – during which time the pair weathered multiple high-profile scandals.
Disgraced politician Anthony Weiner ‘s ex-wife Huma Abedin has seemingly revealed she is dating billionaire George Soros’ son Alex – who is almost ten years her junior.
Huma is a longtime aide and confidante of former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton – who has several ties to the Soros family
However her new boyfriend is also no stranger to life in the public eye – nor is he unfamiliar with causing a few controversial headlines.
For much of his life, Alex was known as a playboy heir who threw lavish parties in the Hamptons and attended many a red carpet event – until last year when he was named as the official heir to his father’s $25 billion Open Society Foundations (OSF) empire in a shock decision that saw him usurp his older brother Jonathan in a corporate battle that many likened to the HBO series Succession.
When the announcement was made in June 2023, Alex vowed that he would use his father’s fortune to finance 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 that in his business dealings.
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 greatly to Democrats in the 2024 presidential election.
‘As much as I would love to get money out of politics, as long as the other side is doing it, we will have to do it, too,’ he said.
Those words will no doubt have come as music to Huma’s ears given that she has spent years serving at the right hand of former Presidential candidate Clinton, and was by her side when she lost the 2016 election to Trump.
Clinton’s election loss was the latest in a line of personal blows for Huma, whose then-husband Anthony had just weeks earlier been exposed by DailyMail.com for carrying on a months-long online relationship with a 15-year-old girl, with whom he sent multiple sordid sexts.
This came just two years after Anthony – who shares a son with Huma – had been forced to resign from his job as a New York City congressman when a photo of him in his underwear was posted to his personal Twitter account.
Huma’s most high-profile previous relationship was with disgraced politician Anthony Weiner (seen together in 2016) whom she was married to for seven years, from 2010 to 2017
Having spent years earning a reputation as a playboy, Alex transformed his image in 2023 when he was named as the heir to his father George’s $25 billion hedge fund empire
However it was during Hillary’s failed 2016 run that Huma may well have first been connected to the Soros family – when George was revealed as one of five mega-donors responsible for one in every $17 that had been spent on her campaign.
Indeed, Huma’s name has previously been linked with 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 that the then-Presidential candidate was having with George.
In the email, Huma asked Robby Mook, who would eventually go on to run Hillary’s campaign, how she should proceed if George asked Hillary to appear at a fundraiser for America Votes, a progressive organization that he supported heavily.
Robby then replied: ‘I would only do this for political reasons (ie to make Soros happy).’
In the years since Hillary’s failed campaign, Huma has continued to work closely with her – while also forming several other very high-profile friendships, including with Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour.
In 2022, it was even rumored that Anna had attempted to set Huma up with her close friend, actor Bradley Cooper – with reports suggesting that the duo had dated for several months after being paired up 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 under wraps in the years since her divorce from Weiner.
While Alex (seen with Barack Obama) once rubbed shoulders with supermodels and celebrities, in recent years he has pivoted his focus much more towards politics
It was also revealed in 2023 that Alex (seen left with Nancy Pelosi and right with Pete Buttgieg) had visited the White House 14 times in just over 12 months
Meanwhile Huma has become a regular fixture at New York Fashion Week and other red carpet events – and is regularly seen enjoying dinner at Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour’s home
The former Clinton aide has not been quite so reluctant to share her plans for the future however, revealing in October 2022 that she ‘wouldn’t rule out’ a potential move into politics.
‘I am in that phase of my life where I say, ‘Never say never,’ Huma said during an appearance on Cats Roundtable. ‘But I don’t see it.
‘I was married for a long time to one of, I think, the most dynamic politicians out there – and successful. And I worked for another politician – these were next level public servants in terms of the work that they did,’ she said of her ex-husband Weiner and former boss Hillary.
Before turning his attentions to running his father’s hedge fund empire, Alex a regular fixture on the red carpet – and he was often seen rubbing shoulders with an array of A-listers, including supermodels like Chanel Iman and music stars like Usher.
But in recent years, the billionaire philanthropist has attempted to put that image behind him, instead turning his hand to business and diving into politics – with White House logs revealing last year that he had visited 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue 14 times in just over 12 months.
Meanwhile his Instagram account veered away from shots of Alex posing with models and celebrities, instead focusing on snaps of him spending time with politicians like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer.
His very public persona is at odds with his father, who took a much more private stance on business dealings and politics.
However, George’s name has been dragged into the headlines of late after he became embroiled in the fall-out surrounding Trump’s arrest.
George became a target of Trump and his allies over conspiracy theories that he funded New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg – rumors that he has vehemently denied.
‘As for Alvin Bragg, as a matter of fact I did not contribute to his campaign and I don’t know him,’ George said of the speculation.
‘I think some on the right would rather focus on far-fetched conspiracy theories than on serious charges against the former president.’
