OpenAI CEO and founder Sam Altman has tied the knot with his longtime partner, Oliver Mulherin, in an intimate ceremony at a tropical beach. The 38-year-old tech mogul confirmed the wedding in a text message to NBC News after photos of their weddings began circulating on social media.
The couple’s private wedding was attended by a small group of family and friends who witnessed them exchange their vows at an undisclosed tropical beach. The couple reportedly wore casually coordinated outfits featuring white shirts and light beige pants.
Sam Altman and his new spouse both looked stunning in their matching outfits. The newlyweds were all smiles as they exchanged their vows while surrounded by the beautiful scenery.
After tying the knot, the couple shared a photo of themselves with their families and friends. In the picture, the pair were all smiles as they posed with their parents and siblings. The couple wished each other all the best in their future life together.
The new couple is currently residing in San Francisco. However, they retreat to their 25-year-old ranch in Napa on weekends. According to a report by New York Magazine, Altman and Mulherin wish to start a family soon.
Mulherin is an Australian software engineer from the University of Melbourne. He has worked on various AI projects, from language detection to general games. Mulherin also worked at Menlo Park, California-based Meta, for over two years until he left the company in November 2022. He then went on to work for Broadwing and SPARK Neuro. Currently, Mulherin is working for the blockchain organization IOTA Foundation.
Sam Altman and Mulherin met through Y Combinator, a storied tech startup incubator and investment firm, where the couple both worked as entrepreneurs. The couple got together in the early ’00s while working on an online video game.
The couple is a well-known face in the world of artificial intelligence, as they founded 1X Technologies, which makes chatbots for companies. The bots can be used to answer questions, help with customer support, and even perform automated tasks on a website. In addition to 1X, the duo has also made a name for themselves in the field of robotics by founding the humanoid robot project called Ollie. The project has a cult following and has garnered the attention of many celebrities and influencers in the US. In an interview with New York Magazine last year, Altman and Mulherin revealed that they plan to have children soon.
