The glittering society engagement between Georgina Bloomberg, daughter of billionaire former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and financier Justin Waterman has been abruptly called off, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The couple's split comes as a profound shock to their inner circle, arriving just a few short months after they welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Haven. The pair had been engaged since 2022 and appeared to be preparing for a life of marital bliss.
A Growing Distance
According to sources close to the couple, the relationship had been under strain for some time. Insiders suggest that the realities of parenthood and their demanding individual careers created an unexpected rift that ultimately proved insurmountable.
"They've been growing apart for a little while now," a source disclosed. "It's incredibly sad, especially with a new baby involved, but sometimes these things happen."
Life After the Split
Both Georgina, 40, and Justin, 41, are now navigating life as co-parents to their infant daughter. Friends confirm that their primary focus remains the well-being and care of Haven.
The professional equestrian and celebrated author has not been seen wearing her engagement ring in recent weeks, fuelling speculation amongst followers. Waterman, a successful investment professional, has also been spending time away from the family's usual haunts.
This would have been the second marriage for Bloomberg, who shares her seven-year-old son, Jasper, with ex-husband Ramiro Quintana. The couple had built a life together between New York City and their equestrian pursuits in Florida.
The news marks a surprising and poignant end to a relationship that many in New York's social scene believed was built to last.
