She may still be wearing her diamond wedding ring but the widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs, who died two years ago, may have found love again after being romantically linked to former Washington DC mayor Adrian Fenty.
Laurene Powell Jobs, who was married for 20 years, is said to have bonded with Adrian Fenty over a shared passion for school reform, after they met at an education conference in 2011.
The couple's relationship is not believed to have been behind the break up of Mr Fenty's 15-year marriage.
Mrs Jobs, who has three children, inherited an estate of about $10 billion when her husband died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 56 in October 2011.
Despite being one of the richest women in the U.S, the 49-year-old has kept a deliberately low profile as she continues with her charitable work.
She married the Apple founder two years after meeting him when Jobs gave a talk to Stanford Business School, where she was a student.
Her connection to Mr Fenty increased after he joined the board of College Track, a non-profit program for students founded by Mrs Jobs, in February last year.
In a statement released at the time she said: 'Adrian Fenty is one of our country’s great advocates for education reform. His sense of urgency and record of accomplishment is unparalleled.'
In contrast to the privacy courted by Mrs Jobs, 42-year-old Mr Fenty has been a public figure since his election as Washington DC mayor in 2006.
