In a surprising turn of events, Huma Abedin, the former aide to Hillary Clinton and ex-wife of Anthony Weiner, recently posted a photo on Instagram with her new Valentine, Alex Soros. Alex, the son of billionaire Democratic donor, Alex Soros, is not only nine years younger than Abedin but also comes from considerable wealth and power. This unexpected romance has caught the attention of political and society insiders.

Describing the couple as a 'classic Clinton world couple,' a former senior Clinton aide expressed that Alex is a perfect match for Abedin. With his wealth and influence, he embodies everything that Abedin values. Another major Democratic donor remarked that Abedin has always aspired to live a life akin to American royalty.

The potential union between Abedin and Alex Soros could create a powerful Democratic dynasty. Alex's close relationship with Chelsea Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, suggests a deep connection to the Clintons. Both Alex and his father, George Soros, who is worth $6.7 billion, have financial ties to Hillary Clinton's political endeavors. George Soros even ranked among the top donors to Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, contributing over $9.5 million. His nonprofit organization, Open Society Foundation, also donates substantial amounts to liberal causes each year.

Alex Soros has expressed his own political passion and has been active in various campaigns and causes. In fact, he claims to be even 'more political' than his father. Last year, both Alex and Bill Clinton had a private audience with Pope Francis. Additionally, Alex is next in line to take over his father's extensive holdings, as George has acknowledged his son's qualifications for the role.

While Abedin's close ties to the Clintons may play a part, sources suggest that she is primarily motivated by her own aspirations. Despite her association with the Clintons, Abedin desires to establish her own reputation and future. Marrying Alex Soros would elevate her status from a well-respected woman to royalty, according to one insider. This marriage could potentially help her move past the difficult experience of her first marriage to Anthony Weiner, who infamously engaged in online relationships with multiple women, including a minor.

Friends of Abedin expressed their joy for her, with one stating that she deserves to find happiness after enduring so much. Abedin and Weiner share a 12-year-old son, Jordan, and their divorce status is currently unclear. However, it seems that Abedin's new relationship with Soros represents a chance for her to move forward.

Abedin has quietly dated since her split from Weiner, including a high-profile sighting with actor Bradley Cooper. However, her relationship with Soros appears to be more substantial. Sources suggest that Abedin typically attends events solo or with female friends, but with Soros, she has found stability. Their current trip to Munich, Germany, coincides with the Munich Security Conference, where world leaders discuss international security policy.

Describing Abedin as an intriguing and intelligent individual, one source notes that Soros, who has a lot of business acumen, complements her well. Though he may not possess the fame factor she previously gravitated towards, his wealth and unapologetic attitude toward it make him an ideal partner for Abedin.

The relationship between Abedin and Soros also seems to have a strong foundation. Several years ago, society photographer Patrick McMullan helped Soros become more comfortable in front of cameras at events. Meanwhile, a mutual friend who is dating Soros's cousin is said to have introduced Abedin and Soros.

With his focus on the 2024 presidential election and his recent meetings with top Democratic leaders, including officials from the Biden administration and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Alex Soros is following in his father's philanthropic and political footsteps. Despite growing up in an affluent environment, sources note that he has been actively involved in hosting events, not just for the Clintons but also for congressional candidates.

This budding romance between Huma Abedin and Alex Soros promises potential for personal fulfillment and a continuation of political involvement. Abedin's desire for her own future and vision aligns with Soros's political ambitions. Whether or not this relationship leads to marriage, it is evident that both individuals are pursuing their own agendas and paths forward. Only time will tell how this intriguing love story unfolds.
