Michael Bloomberg Marries Longtime Partner Diana Taylor After 26 Years Together
Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, married Diana Taylor on November 9, 2026. The wedding was a small, private ceremony at their townhome on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Bloomberg, 84, announced the marriage in a post on his official X account. Taylor is 71. A representative for the former mayor confirmed the news to People, and the New York Post reported the wedding under the headline that they had been together for 26 years.
Family members joined the couple for the vows. Bloomberg's daughters, Emma and Georgina, were there. Bloomberg had two daughters with his first wife, Susan Brown-Meyer, whom he divorced in 1993. After the ceremony, about a dozen close friends and relatives attended a celebratory lunch, according to Town & Country.
The couple's story began with a seating chart. Bloomberg and Taylor first met when they were seated next to each other at a meeting of the Citizens Budget Commission, a New York group that studies government spending. It happened during Bloomberg's first run for mayor. Their relationship then lasted through his three terms in City Hall and beyond.
Taylor has a long career in finance. She worked as a Wall Street executive and later served as New York State Superintendent of Banks, the state official who oversees banks. During Bloomberg's time as mayor, she was often described as the city's unofficial first lady, a role with no formal title. She now chairs the board of directors of the New York City Ballet, one of the city's best-known dance companies.
For both of them, this is a second marriage. The couple did not say why they chose this moment to marry.
For New Yorkers who followed the Bloomberg years, the wedding is a quiet end to a long public partnership. Taylor was a familiar presence at City Hall events and at the ballet, and now she is also a married woman in a family that stayed close to the ceremony. The wedding was private, but the couple's decision to share the news through Bloomberg's own account means the public learned it the same way friends did.
