Who Is Elizabeth Holmes' Husband, Billy Evans?
Disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes made headlines first with her signature black turtlenecks, then due to her staggering net worth as CEO of the medical disruptor company, and later as the mastermind behind an alleged multi-million dollar fraud. Theranos, once the acclaimed unicorn start-up for blood testing, has become the subject of various documentaries, miniseries, and film adaptations because of its complicated criminal connections. Just add Holmes amongst the latest celebrities to be tried for supposedly duping the public!
Yet Holmes' trial has been delayed three times, most recently due to the announcement of her pregnancy. Holmes is reportedly expected to give birth in July 2021, the same month her trial was slated to proceed following the COVID-19 pandemic postponement. As for the father of her child? Well, look no further than husband Billy Evans. The San Diego-based hospitality heir tied the knot with Holmes in 2019 amidst her Theranos scandal, per Insider. So who is Evans? Keep scrolling to find out!
William "Billy" Evans is the heir to a California hotel chain
Elizabeth Holmes always can seek out the money. After securing a reported $4.5 billion in stock options through Theranos per Celebrity Net Worth, Holmes' personal funds plummeted after being arrested on federal fraud charges. Then-secret fiancé William "Billy" Evans bailed Holmes out of jail on $500,000 bail in 2019, as reported by Elle. Holmes and Evans got married in a private ceremony that same year.
Per Daily Mail UK, Evans is the heir to Southern California hotel chain Evans Hotel Group that was founded by his parental grandparents. Evans' parents work for the family business, and Billy is one of three children. Evans previously worked for self-driving cars startup Luminar Technologies from 2017 to 2019 per his LinkedIn page, but his job status as of 2021 is unknown.
It's clear Holmes and Evans are seeking a private life together as Holmes awaits her trial – and the birth of their child. Of course now Holmes and Evans will be tied together by shared blood, so maybe their marriage will last a prison sentence after all.
