When Chelsea Clinton was a teenager, she was thrust into fame thanks to her parents.
After all, she was put on the world stage when her father became president of the United States.
Socks is the White House cat.
But did you know there is also a White House dog?"
At the time, she was 13.
She’s also been an activist for women’s rights.
Clinton is now many other things, too.
This is Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky’s relationship timeline.
However, sources are clear that they’ve been friends since they were kids.
1993, it turns out, seems to have been a particularly pivotal year.
Marc Mezvinsky’s mother, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, was sworn in as a United States Congresswoman that year.
It’s also the year that Chelsea’s father, Bill Clinton, was sworn in as president.
Bill and Marjorie turned out to be crucial political allies.
It seems, though, that the Clinton and Mezvinsky families remained friends.
Sometime that year, both families attended a Democratic Party retreat in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
That’s likely where Chelsea and Marc met for the first time, according to numerous sources.
This meant the time had come for her to choose somewhere to go to college.
Naturally, there was much speculation about where she would end up.
Leaving the White House to attend school, on the other hand?
All bets were off.
The news finally broke in April 1997.CNNreported that Clinton had chosen Stanford University.
President Bill Clinton added, “She had wonderful choices, she made her own decision.
Her mother and I are proud of her and support her.”
“I think she’s too smart for that,” the former U.S. congresswoman toldThe Spokesman-Review.
“They’re really good friends, just dear friends.”
Hey, maybe he was telling the truth; who are we to judge?
Edward wound up pleading guilty after all, copping to 69 counts of defrauding investors.
He was ultimately sentenced to six and a half years in prison.
Ultimately, Marc’s friendship with Chelsea Clinton wound up being a matter of legal record.
Prosecutor Robert Zauzmer toldThe New York Timesthat Edward frequently bragged about his son’s friendship to potential victims.
Edward sought a pardon from Bill Clinton,Politicoreported, but he did not get one.
Clinton had spent the last few years at Oxford, dating a man named Ian Klaus.
Clinton and Mezvinsky, though, apparently first stepped out together in 2005.
“I can’t have any conception of what she goes through,” she said.
“We’re sorry for the mass e-mail, but we wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving!
We also wanted to share that we are engaged!”
The following year, the couple weren’t the only ones looking forward to the summer.
Their wedding turned out to be the social event of the season.
That didn’t stop “Inside Edition” (viaHuffPost) from asking Mezvinsky’s father for his thoughts.
[It’s] the biggest day in her life, probably."
The wedding took place in Rhinebeck, New York, a picturesque town a short drive from Manhattan.
Rhinebeck was overrun with well-wishers and onlookers, some of whom spoke withThe New York Timesabout the ceremony.
“It’s royalty.
“She’s turned into such a beauty,” she noted.
Because Mezvinsky is Jewish and Clinton grew up Christian, the wedding featured a blending of traditions.
They were married under a chuppah, and the groom wore a prayer shawl in addition to his yarmulke.
Consequently, the marriage touched off discourse about growing acceptance of interfaith weddings.
“She’s heartbroken but she isn’t afraid to end the marriage.
She regrets now that she ever married Marc.”
Speculation kicked into overdrive when Mezvinsky set out on a snowboarding trip, leaving Clinton behind in New York.
However, it all turned out to be much ado about nothing.
“They’re still a young, happy couple.”
Marie Clinton Bruno, Bill Clinton’s cousin, told the magazine, “All is very well.”
Date nights, it turned out, became incredibly important to the couple.
They insisted on at least one a week.
Furthermore, Clinton also emphasized the importance of regular communication.
Their regular check-ins made sure both parties felt both supported and informed about what their partners were up to.
@billclinton and I are thrilled that Chelsea and Marc are expecting their first child!”
“Somehow, I love my husband even more, I love my parents even more … Clinton did have one gripe, however: Marc Mezvinsky apparently avoided diaper duty!
In fact, she said it had become a running joke between them.
“Everything else.”
Apparently, Mezvinsky wasn’t particularly happy that his wife shared this information in the pages of People.
“I didn’t know that that would have the impact it would.
If I did, I would have talked to People much earlier!”
Clinton has worked for McKinsey, a consulting firm, and managed hedge funds at Avenue Capital Group.
Mezvinsky, on the other hand, has worked in private equity.
Presumably, this is all how they’ve been able to make some seriously impressive real estate moves.
“It’s great for them, because it is in a hot neighborhood and it is very private.
There aren’t hundreds of neighbors, and there is great security,” a source told The Post.
Not a bad way to recoup an investment!
