Michael Bloomberg Marries Diana Taylor After 26 Years Together

After more than a quarter-century as a couple, Michael Bloomberg and Diana Taylor have married in a private ceremony, according to the report. The former New York City mayor and his longtime partner exchanged vows on Monday at their home on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The small gathering was attended by close family members, including Bloomberg’s daughters, Emma and Georgina. A spokesperson said the couple first met when they were seated next to each other at a Citizens Budget Commission meeting during Bloomberg’s first campaign for mayor. Their relationship unfolded alongside prominent careers in business and public life. Bloomberg built the financial information company Bloomberg LP and served three terms as New York City mayor, from 2002 to 2013. He also sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, though he did not secure it. Taylor has held public and civic roles of her own. She previously served as New York State’s superintendent of banking under Governor George Pataki, and in 2021 she was approved as chair of the New York City Ballet’s board of directors. Taylor also spoke publicly in Bloomberg’s defence during his 2020 presidential campaign, addressing criticism of past remarks about women. She described the comments as belonging to an earlier workplace culture and said, according to the report, that society had changed. The article says Bloomberg and Taylor had been together for 26 years before deciding to marry.
