The son of billionaire George Soros, Alex Soros, and Hillary Clinton's former aide, Huma Abedin, commenced their wedding celebrations with a welcome dinner. The event took place at Alex's mother, Susan Weber Soros', waterfront estate in Shelter Island, New York.
The estate, purchased in 2013 for nearly $6 million, is a traditional beachside residence spanning over 4,300 square feet. It features five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths, providing an idyllic setting for the pre-wedding festivities.
Abedin was seen in a champagne-colored, floor-length dress, while Alex sported a tan-colored suit. The couple appeared close as they mingled with guests. Hillary Clinton, expected to be a prominent guest at the wedding, was also present, chatting with Abedin's son, Jordan.
The wedding itself is scheduled to take place at the Soros family's mansion in Southampton, NY. A source described the couple's relationship as "effortless," highlighting their happiness after a period of challenges.
Alex proposed with a diamond ring estimated to be worth six figures. The ring, described as "incredibly rare," is believed to have cost around $1.3 million. The couple's relationship began in February 2024, with dating rumors surfacing after a Valentine's Day dinner in Paris.
Since then, they have been seen at various events, including the 2024 Met Gala, where they made their red carpet debut as a couple. The wedding is expected to be a star-studded affair, with a heavy police presence reported in the Hamptons.
