Chelsea Clinton is engaged to marry her Jewish boyfriend of two years.
Clinton, 29, the only daughter of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, became engaged over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, 31. They announced their engagement in a mass e-mail to friends.
Mezvinsky, who works for Goldman Sachs, is the son of two former members of the House of Representatives, Ed Mezvinsky (D-Iowa) and Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinksy (D-Pa.). The elder Mezvinsky recently served nearly seven years in prison for swindling $10 million from investors in a series of Nigerian e-mail scams. He was released in 2008.
Mezvinksy and Clinton met in Washington in 1993, and both attended Stanford University. Clinton, a Methodist, was seen attending Yom Kippur services in September with Mezvinsky at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, where they both now live. — jta
