Entertainment mogul Ari Emanuel and fashion designer Sarah Staudinger are engaged, sources exclusively tell Page Six.
The pair previously split last year, we reported, after dating for about two years. But sources exclusively tell us that they later reconciled and that Emanuel popped the question after his firm Endeavor’s successful IPO in April.
A source told Page Six: “They got engaged after his company went public, but they’d gotten back together a couple months prior to that.”
Reps for Emanuel didn’t comment.
Staudinger’s hot fashion line, Staud, has high-profile fans including Kendall Jenner, Bella and Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez and Margot Robbie. Lizzo was photographed last month wearing a pair of Staud sandals.
The brand also just launched a plus-size collection this month, according to reports, as well as a capsule collection with Intermix.
With things opening up again, the guest list for 60-year-old Emanuel and 32-year-old Staudinger’s wedding could be impressive. As an agent, he reps Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Charlize Theron, Martin Scorsese, Larry David, Michael Bay and Tyler Perry, among others.
Tesla billionaire Elon Musk is on the Endeavor board, and Patriots owner Robert Kraft is reportedly an investor. Emanuel’s brothers are former Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel and noted bioethicist Ezekiel Emanuel.
Endeavor owns the Ultimate Fighting Championship, as well as Hollywood agency WME and the Miss Universe pageant, plus it has stakes in cool art fair Frieze, On Location Experiences and more.
Emanuel was previously married to Sarah Addington. They filed for divorce in 2018, and have three kids together.
The super-agent was the purported inspiration for the Ari Gold agent character in HBO’s “Entourage.”
