According to reports, Alex posted a photo proposing to Abedin on his Instagram the day before, saying, "This happened. We couldn't be happier, more grateful, or more in love," announcing their engagement.


Abedin is known to have a close relationship with former Secretary Clinton. They worked together for over 20 years, with Abedin serving as an aide during Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State. At that time, Abedin was responsible for scheduling various meetings and reviewing speeches for Clinton, earning her the nickname "gatekeeper power."


Abedin married former Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner in 2010 but divorced the following year after it was revealed that Weiner had exchanged explicit messages with a minor in 2016.



Alex is the second son of Soros and currently serves as the chairman of the nonprofit organization "Open Society Foundations" (OSF), which was founded by his father. Soros is also well-known as a major donor to the progressive camp, having provided substantial funding to the U.S. Democratic Party for many years. The 93-year-old Soros named Alex as his successor last year and reportedly transferred a significant portion of his assets to the OSF managed by Alex. Alex has stated that he considers himself more political than his father and plans to continue supporting progressive politicians.
