Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, recently announced the joyful arrival of his baby boy on X (formerly Twitter), sharing his heartfelt emotions with the message, “I’ve never felt such love.” He mentioned that his son was born prematurely and is currently receiving care in the NICU, but reassured everyone that the baby is doing well. Altman expressed his happiness, stating, “Welcome to the world, little guy! He came early and is going to be in the NICU for a while. He is doing well, and it’s really nice to be in a little bubble taking care of him. I have never felt such love.”
In January 2025, it was reported that Altman and his partner are expecting their first child, due in March 2025. This announcement has been met with warm congratulations from followers and the tech community. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella extended his best wishes, describing parenthood as one of life’s most rewarding experiences. He posted, “My heartfelt congratulations, @sama! Parenthood is one of life’s most profound and rewarding experiences. Wishing you and your family the very best.”
Thousands of others have also congratulated Altman on this significant milestone. Last year, he married his long-time partner, Oliver Mulherin, in an intimate seaside ceremony in Hawaii. Mulherin, an Australian coder, has maintained a low profile despite being in a relationship with a prominent figure in artificial intelligence. The couple made their first public appearance together at a White House dinner honoring Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a New York Times interview last year, Altman revealed that Mulherin has a fondness for large families and that they plan to have children soon.
