Sam Altman is enjoying married life.
In an interview with LGBTQ+ media outlet Advocate published Friday, OpenAI's CEO said that being married to her husband, software engineer Oliver Mulherin, “makes me feel better.”
“Actually, it's great,” Altman told the outlet in response to a question about his married life. She said, “I thought it wouldn't feel any different, but it feels different and better. I'm very happy.''
News of Altman and Mulherin's wedding leaked in January after photos of the ceremony posted to Altman's personal Instagram account circulated online.
Business Insider confirmed the wedding through a person who attended the wedding, and said the images were “not AI-generated.”
Altman told the court that news of his marriage leaked in January, but the wedding took place “a few months ago.”
Altman, who lives with Mulherin on a private ranch in Napa, California, has kept his relationship with Mulherin, an Australian software engineer, very secretive, but recently announced that the two wanted to have children soon. He revealed this to New York Magazine.
