He was a billionaire politician who is maybe not so politically relevant; she was his girlfriend of 26 years, a financial executive, whatever that means. Can we make it any more obvious?
That's right: Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his longtime partner Diana Taylor finally tied the knot on Monday after more than a quarter century together. And what a quarter century it's been!
"Twenty-six years after a chance seating assignment, Mike Bloomberg and Diana Taylor have married," a spokesperson for Bloomberg posted on the ex-mayor's X account. "The longtime couple exchanged vows today in a small, private ceremony at their home on the Upper East Side, joined by family, including his daughters, Emma and Georgina. The two first crossed paths when they sat next to each other at a Citizens Budget Commission meeting while he was first running for Mayor."
Extremely romantic origin story aside (we always thought it was strange that the Citizens Budget Commission only meets by candlelight at that cute hole-in-the-wall Italian spot down the block), Bloomberg and Taylor have been through a lot together over the last two and a half decades.
