Baltimore Orioles Owner David Rubenstein Marries Caryn Zucker in Secret Supreme Court Ceremony
David Rubenstein, billionaire owner of the Baltimore Orioles and co-founder of the Carlyle Group, married Caryn Zucker, ex-wife of former CNN executive Jeff Zucker, in a secret ceremony at the Supreme Court presided over by Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday. The couple had kept their four-year relationship largely private despite attending high-profile philanthropic events together. The wedding remained confidential until after the ceremony, with even the photographer unaware of the event's true nature until 15 minutes before it began.
David Rubenstein, a billionaire investor and philanthropist worth an estimated $4.1 billion, married Caryn Zucker in an ultra-private ceremony at the Supreme Court, with Chief Justice John Roberts officiating. Caryn was previously married to Jeff Zucker, the former CNN executive, from whom she separated in 2017. The couple's relationship became public knowledge in 2022 when CNN's investigation into Chris Cuomo revealed that Jeff Zucker and CNN PR executive Allison Gollust had been in a romantic relationship, leading to both their departures from the network. Despite dating for approximately four years, Rubenstein and Caryn managed to keep their relationship largely out of the spotlight, though they attended numerous high-profile charitable events together including the Kennedy Center Honors and galas at major cultural institutions. The wedding was so secretive that photographer Tony Powell only learned it was a wedding 15 minutes before the ceremony began. Rubenstein is a prominent philanthropist who has donated approximately $900 million to various charities and was recently awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Biden in January 2025.
