Phoebe Gates Goes Instagram Official with Boyfriend Chaz Flynn — The Pair First Dated as Seattle Teens
Phoebe Gates is officially off the market — and her new relationship comes with a long history. The 23-year-old daughter of Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates made her romance with Chaz Flynn public over the weekend, sharing a polished photo of the two dressed up and smiling together on Instagram. She captioned the post with a simple red heart emoji, signaling the soft-but-clear hard launch of their relationship.
A Relationship That Started in High School
A source confirms that Phoebe and Flynn have known each other since they were about 15, first dating while attending high school in Seattle. Their rekindled romance marks a return to familiar roots for the Phia co-founder and CEO, who previously revealed earlier this year that reconnecting with Flynn has brought something new — and grounding — into her life.
In a September episode of The Burnouts podcast, which she co-hosts with activist Sophia Kianni, Phoebe shared that Flynn’s absence from social media has been refreshing.
“It’s the best thing ever,” she said, adding, “I’ve never been with someone like this.”
She also posted another photo from a recent family gathering, where she and Flynn posed alongside her sister Jennifer Gates and Jennifer’s husband Nayel Nassar.
From Past Relationships to a New Chapter
Phoebe previously dated Arthur Donald, grandson of Paul McCartney, for about two years. The pair kept their relationship mostly private, though she confirmed their romance in June 2024. That relationship followed her early graduation from Stanford University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in human biology.
Her new relationship comes during a particularly busy period in her life. Phoebe is now running her sustainable shopping platform Phia, co-hosting a podcast, and continuing her work in philanthropy and reproductive rights advocacy.
A Rising Entrepreneur with a Clear Mission
In a recent interview with The Financial Times, Phoebe revealed the demands of being a young CEO, saying her role “takes up 99% of my time, six days a week.” Still, she emphasized her passion for using her platform intentionally.
“The throughline for my work is democratizing access — to sustainable shopping options, to accurate information and, most importantly, to healthcare,” she said.
Acknowledging the public interest in her family, she added, “I have a platform because there is interest in my family. I can use that to uplift and amplify the organizations that I work with.”
With a thriving business, growing advocacy work, and a revived relationship with a familiar face from home, Phoebe Gates appears to be stepping confidently into a new chapter — both personally and professionally.
