OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and his wife Oliver Mulherin

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman married his long-time partner and friend Oliver Mulherin in an intimate seaside ceremony last year. The ceremony reportedly occurred in Hawaii, near the island's 38-year-old tech entrepreneur's residence.

Mulherin, an Australian coder, has kept a low profile over the years despite being in a relationship with a well-known figure in artificial intelligence. The couple made their first public appearance together when OpenAI CEO Sam Altman invited Mulherin to a White House dinner held in honour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In a New York Times interview last year, Altman shared that Mulherin loves large families and that the couple plans to have children soon.
