Billionaire philanthropist and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has married his longtime partner, Diana Taylor, after 26 years together.
The couple exchanged vows on Monday, November 9, 2026, during a small private ceremony at their home on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in New York.
According to a statement from Bloomberg’s spokesperson, the ceremony was attended by family members, including his daughters, Emma and Georgina.
How Mike Bloomberg Met Diana Taylor
Bloomberg, 84, and Taylor, 71, first met 26 years ago through a chance seating arrangement at a Citizens Budget Commission meeting.
At the time, Bloomberg was campaigning for his first term as New York City mayor.
His spokesperson explained that the pair first crossed paths when they were seated beside each other at the meeting.
Their relationship continued over the years, with Taylor frequently accompanying Bloomberg to public events during his time at City Hall.
A Look at Their Previous Marriages and Careers
Before meeting Taylor, Bloomberg was married to Susan Brown in 1976. Their marriage lasted until 1993.
Taylor, who was also previously married, has held several important positions in public service and business.
In the administration of former New York Governor George E. Pataki, she served as the state’s superintendent of banking while Bloomberg was mayor.
She was also approved as chair of the New York City Ballet’s board of directors in 2021.

During Bloomberg’s 2020 presidential campaign, Taylor publicly defended him against criticism over past comments about women.
Speaking at a Women for Mike rally in Texas, she argued that the remarks were made decades earlier and did not reflect the person she knew.
She also described the workplace culture of that period as a “bro culture” and said society had made significant progress.
Bloomberg’s Political and Philanthropic Activities
Bloomberg served three terms as New York City mayor before making an unsuccessful bid for the US presidency in 2020.
He has also been involved in American politics across different party affiliations and is known for his philanthropic activities.
According to The Times, Bloomberg reportedly donated $80 million to Democratic candidates ahead of the US midterm elections.
His marriage to Taylor marks a new chapter in their relationship after more than two decades together.
