MacKenzie Scott, the former wife of Jeff Bezos, has married a Seattle teacher who teaches at the private school where her children are registered.
Dan Jewett, the new husband who is 50 years old, and also a science teacher at the private Seattle Lakeside School where the children she shares with Bezos are enrolled.
It is not yet pellucid when Scott and Jewett married or how long they have been dating.
Bezos, who shares four children with his former wife, said in a speech via an Amazon spokesperson: ‘Dan is such a nice and great guy, and I am happy and excited for the both of them,’ as reported by newsmen.
The couple first announced their marriage publicly on Saturday in a post on the Giving Pledge, a site where billionaires and millionaires vow to give their wealth to others.
Scott, who is an author and philanthropist, has also changed her Amazon biography page to say she lives in Seattle with her four children and husband Dan.
The private school where Jewett teaches and his wife’s children attend is for grades five to 12 and costs $38,000 per year.
Famous alumni of the private school include Bill Gates.
In a post on the site, Jewett said he was joining his wife’s commitment to passing on an enormous financial wealth to serve others.
Since her divorce from Bezos in 2019, Scott – who helped create Amazon – has already dedicated a portion of her wealth.
She gave away almost $6 billion last year alone.
In a Medium post in December, Scott revealed she had given away $4.1 billion in the previous four months to hundreds of organizations in a bid to help those financially gutted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
She had donated $1.68 billion previously to 116 nonprofits, universities, community development groups, and legal organizations in July 2020.
The donations are related to her Giving Pledge commitment that she made after divorcing Bezos.
