“More than three years after Steve Jobs passed away, it seems that his widow Laurene Powell has found love again,” Lydia Warren reports for The Daily Mail. “The 51-year-old billionaire business exec was seen enjoying a Caribbean vacation with former Washington D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, 44, this weekend. The pair looked at ease as they laughed together aboard a luxury yacht from the Cayman Islands, cooled off in their swimsuits and got close on the sun loungers, before sharing a meal with friends. The couple was first rumored to be dating in the summer of 2013 but these are among the first photos of their budding romance.”
“Powell was left widowed after Apple founder Steve Jobs passed away, aged 56, from complications from pancreatic cancer in October 2011. They had three children together and Powell is also step-mother to Jobs’ daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs,” Warren reports. “Fenty, mayor of Washington D.C. between 2007 and 2011, formally announced his separation from his wife of 15 years, Michelle, in January 2013. They also have three children together.”
“Sources told the Washington Post that summer that Fenty and Powell started seeing each other around the same time, but there is no suggestion that Powell had anything to do with the separation,” Warren reports. “It is believed the two met at a Houston education conference in 2011 and bonded over school reform; Powell is the founder of Emerson Collective, which advocates for education reform, among others, while Fenty’s focus during his mayorship with education. The following year, Fenty joined the board of College Track, a non-profit program for underserved students wanting to go to college that was co-founded by Powell.”

Emily Heil reports for The Washington Post, “Fenty was dating Powell Jobs in August 2013, and we last caught sight of the power duo when they appeared together at the French Open in Paris back in June.”
“With a jet-setting lifestyle like that, we can only imagine the former Hizzonor, now a consultant to various education-tech companies, doesn’t miss the grind of city council meetings,” Heil reports.
