In a lavish celebration that merged political power with social prestige, Huma Abedin and Alex Soros tied the knot this weekend in the Hamptons. The ceremony, held Saturday at Soros’s estate in Water Mill, New York, brought together a constellation of Democratic elites, Clinton-era insiders, and cultural icons—creating a scene reminiscent of a political royal wedding.
Abedin, a longtime top aide to Hillary Clinton, and Soros, the son of billionaire philanthropist George Soros, drew a guest list that included former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, Senator Chuck Schumer, Representative Hakeem Jeffries, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and even Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama. Cultural figures like Vogue editor Anna Wintour and celebrity Nicky Hilton Rothschild also attended.
Boyz II Men performed during the event, and toasts were delivered by Wintour, Hillary Clinton, Rama, and Soros’s brother, Jonathan. The menu featured high-end fare including truffle agnolotti, chilled English pea soup, American Wagyu, and grilled prawns.
Despite a tumultuous national and international backdrop—protests across the U.S., political violence in Minnesota, and escalating tensions between Israel and Iran—the Hamptons remained serene. Guests arrived via private jets and luxury SUVs, turning the quiet town into a hub of elite activity.
Soros, 39, who holds a doctorate in history, has become a prominent political donor, succeeding his 94-year-old father as a major force in liberal philanthropy. Known for his visible social media presence and political activism, he has described himself as “more political” than his father.
Abedin, 48, has maintained a more private profile. After beginning her career as a White House intern under Hillary Clinton, she rose to become one of Clinton’s most trusted advisors. Her previous marriage to disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner ended following public scandals.
The couple had originally planned to elope but opted for a public celebration after encouragement from friends and Clinton herself. “She deserves to have that kind of moment,” Clinton told Vogue.
The weekend also featured a private Friday ceremony honoring Abedin’s Muslim faith and Soros’s Jewish heritage, officiated by both a rabbi and an imam.
Their union marks the rise of a new political power couple—one that’s bound to remain in the public spotlight.
