Newlyweds Michael Bloomberg and Diana Taylor celebrate marriage with low-key dinner uptown

Michael Bloomberg, 84, and Diana Taylor, 71, married in a small private ceremony at their Upper East Side home, then celebrated with a low-key dinner in Manhattan. The marriage formalises a relationship of more than 25 years and drew attention because the couple had long avoided publicly defining their future together.

Bloomberg’s daughters Emma and Georgina attended the ceremony, followed by lunch with about a dozen friends and relatives. At dinner at Gabriel’s, guests included Bloomberg Philanthropies chief executive Patti Harris and her husband; witnesses described toasts and a joyful mood, while Bloomberg did not drink alcohol. The couple first met at a Citizens Budget Commission meeting while Bloomberg was running for mayor, and Taylor later served as New York State’s superintendent of banking and chaired the New York City Ballet board.
