Alex Soros, an American investor and philanthropist and brother of Athletes Unlimited’s co-founder, Jonathan Soros, has recently married Huma Abedin, a former aide to Hillary Clinton.
The billionaire investor and philanthropist Alex Soros and Huma Abedin tied the knot on Saturday, July 14, 2025, at the Soros family’s lavish Southhampton estate, according to reports.
Alex Soros and Huma Abedin had a small wedding ceremony for close family and friends, during which they signed the Nikah in honor of Abedin’s Muslim faith and the Ketubah in honor of Alex’s Jewish heritage, according to People.
After a small and intimate ceremony for family and close friends, the couple hosted a larger celebration featuring a cocktail hour, dinner, and dances with renowned guests, including Hillary and Bill Clinton, Jimmy Fallon, and Rory Gates.
The couple first met in 2023 at a birthday party for a mutual friend, where they quickly connected with their interests in politics and public service, and soon began dating.
Furthermore, Alex Soros and Huma Abedin got engaged on July 10, 2024, and nearly a year later, the couple exchanged vows in front of family, friends, and loved ones.
Before meeting Alex Soros, Huma Abedin was already a proud mother to a kid named Jordan, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Anthony Weiner, a former U.S. representative for New York’s 9th congressional district.
Huma Abedin’s 13-year-old son Jordan also made a beautiful toast for his newlywed mother at the wedding ceremony.

Huma Abedin first began dating her ex-husband, Anthony Weiner, in 2007. The former couple became engaged in 2009 and tied the knot on July 10, 2010.
Furthermore, after about one and a half years of getting married, Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner were blessed with a son named Jordan Weiner, born in December 2011.
However, their relationship began to worsen after sexting allegations were made against Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin announced her separation from him on August 29, 2016, and in early 2017, she announced her intent to file for divorce with sole physical custody of their son.
Huma further filed for divorce on May 19, 2017, after Weiner pleaded guilty; however, the former couple withdrew their divorce case in January 2018, stating that they decided to settle things privately to spare their son further embarrassment.
Jordan, now 13, was just 7 when his father, Anthony Weiner, went to prison in 2017 for sexting a minor. In an interview, Huma Abedin stated that her son has tackled the complex situation with maturity.
"I'm really proud of him. When Anthony had to go away and Jordan was 7, I had so much anger and resentment towards his dad," said Huma.
She further added that she tried to handle the ‘shame upon shame’ of the situation by taking her son, Jordan, on adventures to distract him, leading to six months of traveling around the world, until a moment on Christmas changed her perspective.
She said:
“We ended up in Hawaii for Christmas, and we met a little boy on the beach. It’s the end of a very long night. We go to dinner with his family, and the boy stands up and puts his hand up towards his father so his daddy picks him up, My little boy looks at this scene and breaks down and says, ‘I want my daddy. I want my daddy!'”

That was the moment when Huma Abedin decided to take her son, Jordan, to see his dad in prison, and he was very excited.
Weiner was released from prison in 2019, and the former couple decided to co-parent their only son, Jordan.
Despite their decision to separate, Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner jointly raised their only child, son Jordan Weiner.
