Mike Bloomberg Marries Longtime Partner Diana Taylor

Mike Bloomberg and his longtime partner Diana Taylor have married. A spokesperson for the former mayor announced on November 9 in a social media post that the couple wed in an intimate ceremony on the Upper East Side. After 26 years together, Bloomberg, 84, and Taylor, 71, exchanged vows at their home with family, including Bloomberg’s daughters Emma and Georgina, in attendance.

Following the ceremony, the couple hosted a lunch for approximately 15 guests. A source confirmed this to PEOPLE. Taylor and Bloomberg first met in 2000 at a Citizens Budget Commission meeting where they were seated next to each other, coinciding with his first mayoral campaign.

The couple then encountered each other later that day at a restaurant, and Bloomberg invited Taylor for a drink. Bloomberg and Taylor do not share children. Bloomberg has two daughters, Emma, 47, and Georgina, 43, with his ex-wife Susan Brown. He and Brown were married from 1975 to 1993.

In a 2020 interview with The Washington Post, Taylor described herself as a ‘sort of a step-whatever for Mike’s [two] children — friend, I guess.’ She noted, ‘I never had kids because there was never anyone I wanted to have kids with,’ emphasizing her successful career.

Anna Wintour, the Vogue editor, commented to The Post saying, ‘Michael is lucky to have her. Her famous boyfriend may be the least interesting thing about her,’ adding, ‘She’s intelligent, independent — and completely her own person.’
