Overview
- Bloomberg and Diana Taylor were married in a small, private ceremony at their Upper East Side townhome, a spokesman confirmed.
- Immediate family attended the vows, and The New York Times reported that about a dozen close friends and relatives joined a celebratory lunch afterward.
- The couple first met after being seated next to each other at a Citizens Budget Commission meeting during Bloomberg’s first mayoral run roughly 26 years ago.
- Both are entering a second marriage: Bloomberg divorced in 1993 and has two daughters, Emma and Georgina; Taylor is a former Wall Street executive and former New York State banking superintendent who now chairs the New York City Ballet board.
- No public explanation was given for the timing of the wedding and the couple have previously said they did not plan to marry, a detail that adds to media interest because of their public and philanthropic roles.
