Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg tied the knot with his longtime partner, Diana Taylor, after more than 25 years together.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg, 84, and Taylor, 71, exchanged vows on Monday at a small private ceremony at their Upper East Side home alongside family, including his daughters, Emma and Georgina, a spokesperson for Bloomberg said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The pair met 26 years ago after a chance seating arrangement.<\/p>\n

“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,” Bloomberg’s spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg, a billionaire philanthropist who served three terms as Hizzoner before a failed presidential run in 2020, married Susan Brown in 1976, and they were together until 1993.<\/p>\n

Taylor, who was also once married, was approved as chair of the New York City Ballet’s board of directors in 2021.<\/p>\n

She defended her then-boyfriend <\/a>at a “Women for Mike” rally in Texas during his 2020 presidential run, offering some choice words to people concerned about demeaning comments he made about women.<\/p>\n

“It was 30 years ago. Get over it,” Taylor told CBS News at the time.<\/p>\n

“In none of them was he accused of doing anything other than saying something nasty to a woman. That is not who he is. Life has changed,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I grew up in that world. It was a bro culture. We have come a very, very long way and Michael Bloomberg has been at the forefront of that change,” she added.<\/p>\n

While Bloomberg was mayor, Taylor served as superintendent of banking for New York State in Gov. George E. Pataki’s administration.<\/p>\n

She also frequently accompanied Bloomberg to events at City Hall during his mayoralty.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg, who has switched political parties over his career, reportedly gave $80 million to Democrats ahead of the midterm elections, the Times reported last month.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg tied the knot with his longtime partner, Diana Taylor, after more…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399385,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,56,63,65,64],"class_list":["post-399384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-new-york","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
