Former New York City Mayor and billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg has married his longtime partner, Diana Taylor, after 26 years together.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cTwenty-six years after a chance seating assignment, Mike Bloomberg and Diana Taylor have married. The longtime couple exchanged vows today in a small, private ceremony at their home on the Upper East Side, joined by family, including his daughters, Emma and Georgina,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson added that the couple first met when they were seated next to each other at a Citizens Budget Commission meeting while Bloomberg was campaigning for mayor.<\/p>\n
