Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, publicly acknowledges her relationship with Arthur McCartney, grandson of Paul McCartney. Their confirmation signals a significant development in their personal lives, drawing attention due to their notable family backgrounds.
Boston Brand Media discovered the trending news - Phoebe Gates, the daughter of Microsoft tycoon Bill Gates and his former wife Melinda Gates, disclosed in a diary entry for Nylon on June 21 that she is in a relationship with Arthur Donald, the grandson of Beatles legend Paul McCartney.
At 21 years old, Gates shared a photograph with Nylon showing her receiving a piggyback ride from Donald as part of a series of pictures from her recent graduation from Stanford University. In her diary entry, she referred to Donald as her "boyfriend," confirming speculation about their romance that had circulated since last year.
Donald is the son of Mary McCartney, daughter of Paul McCartney, and her husband Alistair Donald.
Here's an overview of the backgrounds of these two offspring from prominent figures in software and music.
The initial indication of their relationship surfaced in October 2023 when Gates posted a intimate photo on Instagram. The picture showed Donald in a blazer and herself in a blue dress, captured on a balcony in Paris.
In her June 2024 diary entry for Nylon, Phoebe Gates shared a picture of Arthur Donald carrying her after her Stanford graduation ceremony.
Captioning the photo, she wrote, "My boyfriend, Arthur, giving me a lift post-ceremony." Another photo showed them together, with Donald in a navy blue blazer and T-shirt and Gates in a light blue silk dress. She remarked, "With Arthur, he cleans up nicely."
Boston Brand Media also found that, Gates completed her degree in human biology at Stanford in three years, and the graduation ceremony held special significance for her, especially with her mother, Melinda, delivering the commencement speech.
"I knew I had to make it happen if I could, because I wanted to watch my mother deliver this year’s commencement speech as a graduate," she told Nylon. She also shared a photo of herself with her mom on graduation day, noting, "Final hug with mom, who reminded us all today that we can channel the passion of our generation into actual change. The next chapter begins now."
